Highway slope & geotechnical contractor in Malaysia.
Specialist slope and ground works on federal highways, state trunk roads, and concessionaire expressways. EKVE 39.5 km, 450,000 m² protected. Central Spine Road 65,000 m², 6 solution types. Soil nailing, guniting, rock bolting, rockfall barriers, MSE walls (StrataWall + StrataGrid), reinforced soil slopes (StrataSlope), horizontal drains. Delivered under live-traffic phasing with concessionaire-approved TMPs. CIDB G7. ISO 9001:2015.
What we install on highway alignments.
Cut slope reinforcement
Soil nailing + shotcrete face on tropical-soil cut slopes. Class III/IV per JKR. Drape mesh and rock bolt where rock-mass conditions warrant. Standard package on every cut between hill country and the carriageway.
Rockfall protection
Energy-rated flexible barriers 100-5000 kJ per ETAG 027 / EAD 340059. Drape mesh on near-vertical rock faces. Dynamic netting on active fall sources. Standard above tunnel portals and high-cliff alignments.
MSE walls & bridge abutments
StrataWall (precast panel face) + StrataGrid PET reinforcement for embankment retention and bridge abutments. Heights 8-25 m. Faster and ~30-50% cheaper than RC cantilever above 8 m.
Reinforced soil slopes (RSS)
StrataSlope at 30°-70° face angle with vegetatable face. For widening cuts where ROW allows a sloped face cheaper than vertical wall. StrataGrid layered into engineered fill.
Horizontal drains
Drilled subsurface drains lowering groundwater table. Often the single most effective FoS gain when groundwater drives slope distress. Standard tool on Pahang / Cameron highland alignments.
Basal reinforcement on soft ground
StrataTex HSR woven (PET) basal mat below embankment fill on soft alluvium / peat. Common on coastal and lowland highway approaches. Prevents bearing failure and lateral spread.
How we work without closing the road.
TMP approval
Traffic management plan agreed with concessionaire / LLM / JKR. Lane closures phased to off-peak windows. Variable message signs, advance warnings, and contraflow where required.
Compact-access plant
Narrow soil-nail rigs that fit in shoulder + one lane. Rope-access crews for upper-tier slopes where rig access is impossible. Mast climbers / scaffolds on cut faces.
Night-shift production
Most production work at night when traffic volume drops 60-70%. Daytime reserved for inspections, deliveries, and crew rotation.
Continuous monitoring
Slope monitoring during works (inclinometer, surface markers) plus traffic-side rockfall debris check at each shift change. Stop-work triggers documented in HSE plan.
Reopening & commissioning
As-built records, manufacturer certificates of conformance for STRATA geosynthetics, NDT reports for shotcrete cores, defect-liability commencement. Submitted to concessionaire engineer.
