SHAH ALAM, MALAYSIA: TAC has successfully completing airborne LiDAR mapping and aerial photogrammetry for the newly proposed west coast expressway (southern link) in Malaysia from Gelang Patah, Johor until Banting, Selangor for about 350 kilometres length.
The surveying and design project has been commissioned by Ministry of Works Malaysia which include airborne LiDAR mapping, GIS database development and road design. TAC through a joint venture with three other companies has been able to complete the project in just five months for 175,000 hectares area.
Airborne LiDAR mapping works has been flown in two phase. The first phase was carried out from 12 until 31 July 2016. Due to bad weather, the data acquisition took a long period to be completed. The first phase focus on surveying southern part which consist of 75% of total project area.
Due to restrictions from Malaysia Airport Berhad, the second phase can only be flown from 26 until 29 September 2016. The second phase of airborne LiDAR data acquisition covers 25% of the project area which is closer to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and has led to the closure of KLIA's airspace for one hour in the morning and evening respectively for four days.
The KLIA closure has affected most of the flight departures and arrivals between 11.00 to 11.59 a.m. and between 2.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m.
As reported by The Star in their news on Friday dated 23 September 2016: "Several Malaysia Airlines' flights to and from the KL International Airport in Sepang will be re-timed due to the temporary closure of Kuala Lumpur airspace for an aerial survey".
