Other | The Bukit Bintang Central station is constructed using the “cut-and-cover” method with a total excavation depth of 33m. It has a footprint of 150m x 19.0m with depths of 16.9m from existing ground level to the top of rail level for the upper platform and 30.4m to the top of rail level for the lower platform. The station consists of four levels namely concourse, upper platform, plant-room platform and lower platform. The main contractor wanted a durable, high-performance waterproofing system, "MAPEI Purtop" for the roof slab to provide long-term, low-maintenance protection against water ingress. (The walls were protected using a drainage system.) |
