Topic > The potential risk in mass rapid transit construction…

The latest and major construction currently underway in Malaysia is the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project. The owner of this project is the Malaysian government, whose goal is to create a simpler and better public transportation facility for the Malaysian people and also to make the lives of Malaysians easier and more convenient when traveling or commuting quickly somewhere. This MRT project is considered one of the largest infrastructure projects ever built in Malaysia. The Malaysian government has allocated a huge sum of financial support for the initiation of this project. The reason why this project took place is the population growth in some developed areas and the increase in the number of vehicles every year which makes traveling by car or motorbike quite inconvenient. The Malaysian government believes that the MRT project is the best solution for these traffic problems in Malaysia as people prefer to travel by MRT and reach their destination on time rather than getting stuck in a traffic jam and arriving late to their preferred destination. expansion project where railways are connected by previously built lines of existing light rail (LRT), KTM, KLIA Express and KLIA Transit systems and more. A megaproject like this needs to be handled with caution as there are many risks involved during the construction process. These risks could not only harm people involved in the project but also others who are not, such as passers-by, pedestrians, drivers, motorcyclists and more. These risks can lead to serious injury or even death if they are ignored. The presence of such risks while construction is underway can be very dangerous. Hazards like this shouldn't...... middle of paper...... logical in a real working project. Workmanship defect: This risk is very common in the construction industry and is still present today. The workmanship in a project describes the overall quality of the construction. Having defects in workmanship will not only cause the structure to fail, but will also affect the contractor's reputation in the process. Inability of workers, such as incorrect anchoring of crane, overloading of plants to carry heavy objects causing plants to fall, incorrect fixing of formwork leading to design failure and much more, is one of the reasons why some construction projects encounter many kinds of problems such as budget overruns, delays, material shortages and so on. . Therefore, the greater the number of unskilled workers, the greater the risk of accidents or waste of resources..
