INSTALLATION PROCESS Sustainable Storm-water Management
Rain Garden
Specially designed bed where storm water runoff from surrounding areas
or pipes.
Provides biological treatment using soils, plants, roots, and microbes.
It is used to stop excess water, nutrients, rubbish and sediment from
polluting other water resources.
Function:
1) lets water collect on the garden surface and soak through plants and filter
media where rubbish is trapped on the surface.
2) Nutrient are dissolved into the soil and filtered by plants to filter and
remove pollutants.

Vegetated Swales
- Broad in size and shallow to convey and infiltrate the runoff storm-water.
- Vegetated along the bottom and sides of the channel at a height which can maximize
the volume of storm-water.
- This design is to improve water quality and reduce volume through infiltration and
velocity by increasing the length and roughness.

INSTALLATION PROCESS Sustainable Storm-water Management
Dry Swales
- More shallower than bio-retention cells and covered with turf
- Highly permeable where the runoff is treated by the soil that flows underdrain
which is treated and then runoff back further downstream.
- Dry swale are planted with turf grass, decorative trees and meadow grass
where is appear as simple grass channels.

INSTALLATION PROCESS Sustainable Storm-water Management
Wet Swales
- The runoff are temporarily stored and treated water quality volume.
- Directly within existing soils and not under laid underdrain system.

SMART CRITERIA Sustainable Storm-water Management
Smart Unique Features Adoption of advanced M&E systems for effective dual purpose operations such as :
a) Flood detection system (FDS)
to predict impeding storms and gives out flood warnings to the Storm-water Control Center
to alert and enable the relevant authorities to decide when the Motorway Tunnel has to be used as a flood
tunnel
b) SCADA system
to continuously monitor, process and control essential electrical and mechanical equipment inside the
tunnel
to respond to any needs to enable the tunnel to operate under its design capability such as functions of
flood gates, road gates water tight doors, CCTVs and etc.

SMART CRITERIA Sustainable Storm-water Management
c) Tunnel ventilation
the axial fans are located on the surface but plays a significant role in ensuring that the pollution level are
within acceptable range
such as lighting luminaries and cables, CCTVs linear heat detector, air quality monitoring equipment and
lane traffic indicators
capable to withstand the dual purpose conditions which include submerging under water at a pressure of
up 2.5 bar for more than 24 hours condition.

ADVANTAGES Sustainable Storm-water Management
Long term savings due to less expenses on repair work on damaged properties.
Reduce environmental impact - when runoff water is uncontrolled and flows into
undesignated places
Directed passage to retention system (such as SMART) may prevent erosion of soil
underneath tarmac roads and also help to protect the quality of the roads

ADVANTAGES Sustainable Storm-water Management
Filtration systems can be added to ensure environmental safety - can also reuse
the water for other purposes
Low maintenance and dependable construction means the system will last for
many years.

DISADVANTAGES Sustainable Storm-water Management
Does not perform to its full capacity drainage towards sustainable storm-water
management is not well designed which could be a waste of money

INTRODUCTION Sustainable Storm-water Management
The 9.7 km (6.0 mi) tunnel is the longest stormwater tunnel in South East Asia and
second longest in Asia.
Solve the problem of flash floods in Kuala Lumpur & reduce traffic jam.
Two Component : SMART TUNNEL & Motorway Tunnel . It is the longest multi-
purpose tunnel in the world.

PROBLEMS Sustainable Storm-water Management
1. Limitation
-A huge project costs a lot of money and might not be economical viable. SMART tunnel is not the only
solution to the flood problem, but people would say this is a worth billion built project to relieve the situation
in a big way. The SMART tunnel is designed to handle only 45 per cent of floodwaters coming from the rivers.
2. Ineffectiveness
-SMART tunnel management's slowness in reacting to downpours leading to flash floods in the suburbs of
Kuala Lumpur.
-SMART company delay in opening the tunnels is what caused the floods.
3. Less Use
-The tunnel would be used once, or three times yearly. Spending RM1.8 billion for something which would not
be used the whole year needed re-evaluation.
4. Road Traffic
-SMART tunnel requires times to clean up thus it will be closed to public and re-open back after 48 hours of
major storm. This will cause the traffic congestion problems remains unsolved during the major stormwater
discharge by the tunnel.

PROBLEMS Sustainable Storm-water Management
6. Accident
-An average of five accidents occur in the tunnel monthly and most are caused by drunk drivers travelling at
night on weekends. In SMART tunnel, there are no speed trap cameras and police cannot put up roadblocks to
avoid accident happened.
7. Bumpy Road
-The bumpy road in SMART tunnel may be a minor nuisance to all drivers that would cause minor damage to
cars and even result in a car accident.
8. Safety Check
-A typical tunnel or SMART tunnel has to go through the safety check due to it confined structural nature when
accident happens.
9. Blind Corner
-Ultimately, the exit of tunnel is concealed behind the blind corner hence this problem would possibly cause the
drivers to stop suddenly in the middle of the road because they have no idea which road to exit.

RECOMMENDATION Sustainable Storm-water Management
1. Limitation
- SMART tunnel does not have sufficient capacity to retain large
volume of flood water
- Use the project Metropolitan Area Outer Underground
Discharge Channel, by the concept of discharging water
outwards, additional pumps to pump out the water.
2. Ineffectiveness
- SMART tunnel encounters delay in opening water tunnels for the
inlet of water which flood begin.
- First, strict action need to be taken such as hire new effective
management team
- Second, upgrade equipments and operating devices such as
install more CCTVs, especially unseen areas to monitor water
level.
- Flood detection system upgrade to increase the sensitivity of
the system

RECOMMENDATION Sustainable Storm-water Management
3. Accident
- Road accidents occurred in SMART tunnel such as drunk drivers,
careless drivers and etc.
- Put waterproof speed trap cameras in the SMART tunnel
4. Bump Road
- Road users complained about bump road in SMART tunnel
because minor damage to cars
- Special rough road surface and yellow transverse bars painted
across the road, slow down speed limit sign placed along the
road.
5. Blind Corner
- First, exit is concealed behind blind corner, hence this
would cause drivers stop suddenly because not sure which
exit
- Put more sign
- Second, accidents happen at blind sports
- Blind spots can be prevented by adding convex mirrors for
broader vision.
