Topics Covered
 Introduction
 The Second Penang Bridge (Project):
 Planning
 Design
 Construction
Ferry Service
Then…
Began operations in 1920, making it
the oldest ferry service in Malaysia.
The iconic ferries ply between the
Seberang Perai in mainland and
Penang Island.
Now…
Today the ferry still continue its
services which connects Sultan
Abdul Halim ferry terminal in
Butterworth to Raja Tun Uda
ferry terminal at Weld Quay in
George Town in Penang Island.
The First Penang Bridge 1985
The idea to build a bridge linking the island and mainland was mooted by the late Tun
Abdul Razak, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1960’s.
The construction was carried out during the premiership of YAB Tun Dr Mahathir bin
Mohamad, the fourth Malaysian Prime Minister in 1982.
The 13.5km (8.5km over water) bridge was officially opened to traffic on September 14,
1985.
The First Penang Bridge – widening initiatives 2009
Additional 4.8m wide lane each carriageway
• The bridge widening initiatives were
undertaken to accommodate the
increase in traffic volume which has
reached its maximum capacity of
120,000 vehicles per day.
• The project which started in December
2005 was completed in August 2009.
The Second Penang Bridge 2013 – now under construction
The Second Penang Bridge (24km total length and 16.9km over
water) when completed will be the longest in Southeast Asia
connecting Batu Kawan on the mainland and Batu Maung on
the island.

Objectives of Second Penang Bridge
 Responding to National Objectives
 Considering the importance of road network in the State,
the following objectives of the Second Penang Bridge
Project is identified as follows:



To strengthen the transportation system corresponding to
national objectives
To support balanced economic development of the State
To provide smooth and safe traffic service
PLANNING STAGE
Traffic Demand


The traffic demand on the existing bridge has been increasing since its
opening in 1985.
Traffic projection without Second Crossing:
 2000 – 97,200 vehicle per day
 2010 – 140,400 vehicle per day
 2020 – 163,400 vehicle per day

Due to a tremendous increase of motorcycle traffic utilising the bridge, it
has brought about declining in the bridge’s level of service enforcing the
motorist into intolerable traffic condition.

Both the ferry service and existing widened Penang Bridge will
imminently not be able to cater for the traffic demand hence, a Second
Crossing is needed to continuously support the economic development of
the Penang State in addition to providing a smooth and safe driving
facility.

Feasibility Study
 The feasibility study was carried out with the
objectives :

To investigate the technical and economic Feasibility of the
alternative alignments

To prepare the necessary documents for loan facilities purposes

To prepare an Implementation Programme (IP) as well as a
report on Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment

To investigate the financial viability of tolling the proposed
crossing
Alternative Alignments
Northern Route
Mid-Channel
Route
Southern Route C
Feasibility Study

Alternative Alignments:
1.
Northern Route
• Linking the Penang Outer Ring Road (PORR) at Bagan Jermal on the island with
Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) at Bagan Ajam on the mainland.
• The total length of crossing is 9.2km.
• Restricted by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) aviation requirement.
• Hence, only immersed tube tunnel can be considered for the main crossing.
2.
Mid-Channel Route
• Linking Georgetown with the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKS).
• The total length is 8.3km long crossing which include the 2.4km long undersea
tunnel.
• Immersed tube tunnel is considered due to part of the straits is subjected to the
movements of exceptionally high cargo vessels. Building a bridge structure will
further constraint the waterway.
3.
Southern Route C
• Linking Bayan Lepas Expressway at Batu Maung on the island with Batu Kawan on
mainland and ended at North South Expressway at KM 154.
• This alternative involves a 24km long crossing in which 16.9km crosses the Straits
of Penang and 7.1km long connecting road.
Feasibility Study
 Conclusion
The alignment of Southern Route was finally chosen by YAB
Tun Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad, the fourth Prime Minister of
Malaysia. The decision was to promote socio-economics
development in the south that would provide a balance across
the Penang State.

Advantages of different types of foundation
a) Bored pile
- easily adapted to the various load and soil requirements due to large variety in dia
and construction techniques.
- enable the immediate in-situ evaluation of drilled soil layers to revise foundation
length due to changed soil conditions
- Absence of vibration will not disturb adjacent piles
b) Steel pile
- have high load-carrying capacity for a given weight of pile, which can reduce driving
costs
- can be driven in very long lengths and cause little ground displacement
- easy to splice
c) Spun pile
- Faster, prefabricated allows longer length with less joint
- Efficient mass to strength ratio
- Piles can be withstand higher tension forces which make them suitable for cater
wind load & earthquake problem

Prestressed precast concrete spun piles
Out of total of 292 piers, 248 piers or 85% adopted prestressed precast concrete spun piles.
Advantages:

Suitable for the Project by dredging at the thick overlaid deposit area. Dredging is also
carried out to allow for the transportation of materials and movement of marine traffic.

More competitive on cost compared to steel piles or
bored piles.

Available locally from pile manufacturers and
Installers.
Easy to install in marine environment.


Able to safely withstand ship impact forces via
raking piles.

Does not involve usage of expensive steel casing.

Fast construction. One piling machine can
complete 1 pier in 5 days compared to bored piles
area which takes about 6 months to complete one
pier with 2 RCD drilling machines based on the
same number of quantity.

•The precast segmental box girder is designed as a continuous single twin box of 14.08m width,
4.0m length and 3.20m depth structure with match cast joints, multiple shear keys and
prestressing tendons.
• This type of box-girder was selected because of its size that does not require extensive casting
facilities, special heavy lifting equipment and storage as compared to a precast full-length box
girder.
•The design of the segments is repetitive which allows the same formwork to be used
•The depth is maintained constant to present aesthetically consistent soffit line.
•Total 7 types of Segmental Box Girder are designed for each span.

Slip Form System
•
Slip form is a self-climbing formwork that once set up as a desired-shaped
wall to be built, it ascends continually to the height of the structure.
•
Slip form system is used for the construction of pylon and piers which are
more than 8m height.
•
Each lift will be 4m ~ 5m height
•
Working platform will be provided at the top of the formwork system
•
Slip form system provides high speed of erection (works’ execution speed
increases) and as a result, rapid completion of the project
•
There is no need to dismantling or re-assembling.

High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB)
• The Employer’s Requirement (ER) requires no
damage criteria for a 500 years return period. In
addition to this, a requirement of ‘no collapse’
criteria for the most credible earthquake (2500
years return period) was also introduced. First
Penang Bridge was design on a similar
requirement.
HDRB – Layout
• Detail design checking by ICE indicated that
spun piles at the approach bridge of Package 1
could only cater for the 500 years return period
earthquake. No plastic hinge forms as required
for ‘no collapse’ criteria of 2500 years return
period.

ISSUES
Issues Affecting Marine Bridge Works
 Seismic Design Detailed Study
Detailed study was carried out on the seismic design to ensure the
structure could cater for earthquakes loading. Based on the outcome
of the study, High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB) designed by
Malaysian Rubber Board in conjunction with Tun Abdul Razak
Research Centre (TARRC) in UK is adopted in lieu of the original pot
bearing design.
 Ship Impact Load Assessment
Further assessment was also carried out on the ship impact load
criteria to ascertain that the bridge could withstand any accidental
ship impact.
 Additional Soil Investigations
Soil investigations for design does not reflect the actual soil
condition causing several incidents of broken pile heads, piles driven
shorter than the design length and drilling bit broken inside the
bored holes. Additional soil investigations was conducted to
ascertain the profile and conditions of soil below seabed level.
Issues Affecting Marine Bridge Works

Dredging works
The area along the alignment of the bridge is shallow and need to be deepen
to facilitate for the movement of working barges. It takes approximately 2
years to dredge the 10 million cubic meter of sludge. However, due to fast
rate of siltation, maintenance dredging is being carried out to ensure the
depth is sufficient for the movement of segmental box girder barges.

Interfacing works
Interfacing works between Package 1, 2 and 3 contractors require longer
time to resolve due to matters related to design and technical issues at the
interfacing packages. For example, Package 3 deck has to be redesigned
(strengthened) to sustain the launching gantry load imposed by Package 2
works.

Additional load tests on the driven piles
Additional load tests were imposed to verify the quality of piles driven is to
the highest standard and provide solid foundation to the bridge.
Note: The above issues have initially affected the completion of the marine
bridge portion. However, it has now been resolved and the construction is
moving forward for the completion in September 2013 with the commitment to
achieve highest standard quality of works.
Issues Affecting Land Expressway Works
 Additional Materials Testing for Geotextiles
Compliance tests carried out in PSB Lab in Singapore, indicate that
the geotextile materials did not comply with the specifications and
thus rejected.
Further confirmatory test was carried out at TRI lab in Austin, Texas,
USA which also demonstrates failure. Approval of other alternative
suppliers shall be subjected to compliance of similar tests.
 Additional Test of Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD)
To ensure ‘no settlement’ criteria is complied, buckling test for PVD
was carried out at PSB Lab in Singapore and subsequently to National
University of Singapore to show that the results complement the
compliance test.

Load Test for Stone Column
Compliance test that was carried out failed to comply with the
specification criteria. Consultant was directed to review their design
and ensure that no sliding failure during construction and no
settlement after completion occurs.
Issues Affecting Land Expressway Works
 Additional Soil Investigations (SI)
The number of boreholes done for the
inadequate to determine the soil profile.
previous SI works is
Thus, the contractors are required to conduct additional soil
investigation works to confirm the existing SI.

Other Non Compliance Issues
Several materials were tested to the Project specification and were
found to be non compliant. (e.g pipe culvert, sand and spun piles).
JKSB have rejected the materials which do not meet the Project
requirements as we are committed to produce the highest quality of
works.
Note: Since the activities at land expressway works are not critical, JKSB
is confident and committed to ensure the Project is delivered with the
highest standard of quality and meets the target completion
of
September 2013.
Conclusion
Despite its implementation in a fast track manner, the Penang
Bridge Second Crossing is being constructed to the highest quality,
considering health, safety, cost, sustainability and environmental
conservation.
The Second Penang Bridge when completed will be the longest
bridge in Malaysia and South East Asia when it opens for traffic in
2013.
