14 August 2025, Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> \u2013 The Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM) Technology Group for Technical Committee \u2013 Drainage TC06 has unveiled a new technical guideline aimed at enhancing road infrastructure through effective drainage and dewatering practices. It was held at Menara PJD-JKR Malaysia for the continuous workshop, led by Ir. Siti Norleha Binti Rasid, Chairperson of REAM TC06, with institutional representation by Dr. Azman from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This guideline offers civil engineers detailed advice on planning, designing, and implementing drainage and dewatering systems to improve road serviceability, extend pavement lifespan, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. It emphasizes water management as a critical factor in maintaining user safety under varied environmental conditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Applicable to all JKR-administered projects, as well as those overseen by local authorities, developers, and consultants, the document spans the full lifecycle of road infrastructure\u2014from design and construction to maintenance. It focuses on controlling surface and subsoil water using proven engineering methods aligned with Malaysian standards.<\/p>\n

Key reference documents include the REAM-SP 5\/97 Manual on Pavement Design, JKR Standard Specification for Road Works (Section 4: Drainage), ATJ 8\/86 Geometric Design Guide, and the MSMA (Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia).<\/p>\n

Importantly, the guideline repositions dewatering as a foundational design principle rather than a supplementary system. It provides practical recommendations and technical criteria tailored to Malaysia\u2019s road environment, reinforcing REAM\u2019s commitment to sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a pleasant bonus when Ir. Edayu Binti Salleh@Aman, Pengarah \u00a0Cawangan Kejuruteraan Geoteknik, stopped by for a brief chat. Nice to meet a classmate.<\/p>\n
