Mass Transit
LRT 3, Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
Client : MRCB George Kent Sdn Bhd
KV LRT3 line which runs from Bandar Utama to Johan Setia is the third line for the Light Rail Transit. There are 26 stations altogether for the whole alignment with one underground station. VERITAS’ involvement shall be for the following eight stations namely:
- Station 3 in Glenmarie
- Temasya Station
- Glenmarie Station
- Stadium Station
- Persiaran Hishamuddin Station (UG)
- Seksyen 14 Station
- Sirim Station
- UiTM Station
Primary requirements of the design includes platforms and platform access, amenities, vertical circulation and general arrangement of bus access, kiss-andride, and park-and-ride facilities. The design of the stations shall be standardized wherever possible, including shelters, platform features and structural elements.
Equipments, furniture and signages used shall be the same throughout all stations. These design guidelines and standards are applicable to all the proposed stations along the new LRT3 Line. Within the constraints set by the construction and functional types, the layout of a station is influenced by the system selected, the track geometry, the operational requirements, the predicted passenger ridership and the electrical and mechanical requirements. Each station is divided into non-public areas (those areas where access is restricted) and public areas which can be subdivided into entrances, concourses and platforms.
The “tanjak” concept is chosen for the more prestigious areas. Represented by the multi-faceted pitched roof with varied edges, the design functions well to respond to the Malaysian climatic condition. This concept can be repeated throughout all the stations.
