Problem Statement
The Government of Malaysia in one of its long term aspiration is to develop and
stimulate the country as an intelligent, highly efficient and modern township with a
balance blend on environmental harmony to reflect the country growth excellence.
The structure plan of Terengganu has been delicately planned to reflect the
predicted growth of these zone. This is clearly evident from the development that
has been taken place thus far. Against this backdrop of vibrant growth, the demand
for transportation has also experienced rapid increase.
Based on the current high traffic volumes and anticipating further increase in traffic
demand, the Government of Malaysia intends to upgrade the existing Federal Route
(FT 132) from Junction Bukit Besi to Junction Kampung Che Lijah with approximately
28 km in length in the state of Terengganu.
After the completion of the road, traveling time will be shorter, this has been
planned to forge the integrated developments ahead and to meet with the future
traffic demand in tandem with the state excellent growth. A highly safe road
environment and good road network system will spur the economic growth of the
state of Terengganu and the country. Thus, it will enhance and expedite the
realization of the Wawasan 2020.
Project Verification
The Scope of Works comprises the construction of upgrading single 2-lane
carriageway commencing from Junction FT14 at Bukit Besi. Based on approved
design concept, the proposed upgrading road will be built on a flat to rolling terrain
(0% - 25% gradient) with design speed of 80kph. The total length of the proposed
road is estimated to be approximately 28km long and will include at grade
unsignalised three-legged junctions, where necessary located along the project.

Definition
The road construction project that would
be carried out
The stated structure carried out in the
project
The tunnel carrying open stream or drain
under the road itself
Excavating the structure of the project
Process of excavating done
Occupying the space available
a heavy, rough building material made
from a mixture of broken stone or gravel,
sand, cement, and water, that can be
spread or poured into molds and that
forms a stone like mass on hardening.
The making of the concrete itself
Flowing of the concrete steadily
Removal of the cover
Dispel any errors occurred in the process
Strengthen or support, esp. with
additional personnel or material
General work that would be done, varied
from the construction works
Management team monitors the work
done
Supervision work done on the site of the
project
Any errors, possible future error would
be detected and deterred
The land over which a road is built; a
road together with the land at its edge.
Engineering works created through the
moving or processing of parts of the
earths surface involving quantities of
soil or unformed rock.
Clear the project site of any barriers
Excavating the site as before the
earthwork is done
Fill up the earthwork with suitable
resources

Put up the finishing touch at the

Estimated Duration
In most scheduling procedures, each work activity has associated time duration.
These durations are used extensively in preparing a schedule. For example, suppose
that the durations shown in the table below. The entire set of activities would then
require at least 3 days, since the activities follow one another directly and require a
total of 2+ 5+ 4+ 5+5+2+1= 24 days. If another activity proceeded in parallel with
this sequence, the 3 day minimum duration of these seven activities is unaffected.
More than 3 days would be required for the sequence if there was a delay or a lag
between the completion of one activity and the start of another.

All formal scheduling procedures rely upon estimates of the durations of the various
project activities as well as the definitions of the predecessor relationships among
tasks. The variability of an activity's duration may also be considered. Formally, the
probability distribution of an activity's duration as well as the expected or most
likely duration may be used in scheduling. A probability distribution indicates the
chance that particular activity duration will occur. In advance of actually doing a
particular task, we cannot be certain exactly how long the task will require.
