Electrified Double Track Project (EDTP)
(Ipoh – Padang Besar)
The division’s other major ongoing project, the EDTP,
made further progress during the year. At the time of
writing, EDTP is at 97% overall completion stage with
the civil and structural works substantially completed.
The system works comprising centralised traffic control
(CTC), signalling, electrification and communication are
well underway.
The handover for the entire EDTP stretch will be carried
out in 10 packages and the first handover will take place
on December 2013 from Ipoh to Sg. Siput, followed by
the subsequent packages.
The scheduled completion for the main section of the
works from Padang Besar in Perlis to Ipoh in Perak
(Spine line) by June 2014 and the Bukit Mertajam to
Butterworth in Penang (Spur line) by November 2014 are
according to schedule. We do not anticipate any problems
in meeting these scheduled completion deadlines.
The fully completed Larut Tunnel at Bukit Larut, Perak, is the first railway tunnel built for electrified trains in Malaysia. The tunnel was commissioned in April 2013.
