Kinta River Bridge

Boosting Perak’s economy with a cable-stayed bridge that cuts travel time and emissions

The Kinta River Bridge project in Malaysia aimed to improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in the rapidly growing Perak region. This 1.2km bridge, featuring a unique cable-stayed design, spans the Kinta River and connects two major industrial zones. The project faced significant challenges due to the complex geological conditions of the riverbed and strict environmental regulations to protect the local ecosystem.

 

Upon final completion, the bridge is expected to reduce travel times by up to 45 minutes during peak hours, potentially saving commuters over 200 hours annually. The improved connectivity is projected to boost economic activity in the region by 15% within the first two years, creating an estimated 5,000 new jobs in the connected industrial zones.

 

Our team assisted a key civil engineering subcontractor responsible for the bridge’s foundation work. We provided expertise in environmental compliance strategies and innovative construction techniques, helping them navigate local regulations while maintaining project timelines. This resulted in a 20% reduction in construction time for the foundation phase and ensured full compliance with all environmental standards.
