Rozhan 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for the exclusive updates Fairul. Nice to see KUL is expanding. Hope it will not be at the expense of Observation Hill. But then it may create more spotting locations elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gate C17 is almost ready ( passenger level)... .The work for C27 and C37 started few months already. The photos above is the work for C27 hammerhead building.

Roszaimy 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Look Like The Nice Kuala Terengganu Airport Expension construction already started.. Already started? Actually almost completed. I've been to the current "crowded" airport twice to pick up a friend of mine. They should begin the exterior painting soon. And it's designed by Raja Bahrin btw (yay!), since I'm quite bored with the copycat design of KLIA in MYY, KCH, BTU, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roszaimy 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 "Paging Tan Sri Ting ....... paging Tan Sri Ting ............. " !! Oh I forgot, this is in Sarawak - the ink on Global Upline's contract probably already dried ! Only this time, they will get the job done in 6 months or less ! LOL, enough oredi lor, he completed MYY, BTU, KCH and recently BKI-T2. A good clean few millions of ringgits of net profit. Ok what? Luckily BKI-T1 not awarded to him.

The runway is still short and there is still no ILS for safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin Lau 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Unfortunately they started the wrong way, as usual concentrating on the terminal first. The runway is still short and there is still no ILS for safety. But I thought the runway in MYY and BTU has already been completed? Which leaves KCH runway still in progress. Btw.... you mean right now there is no ILS for the KCH runway? is it because of the construction going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 TGG is the last major airport in Malaysia without ILS. During the past 15 years: Totally new airport: SBW, KLIA, TWU, BTU. Runway lengthening: MYY, SBW, AOR, LGK. ILS addition: LBU, MYY,AOR, KBR (plus at new airports) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted March 23, 2007 Luckily BKI-T1 not awarded to him. That may or may not be the case, we won't be able to tell until WCT has completed T1 and we have a chance to compare. However, my impression is that T2 is either still facing teething problems or already having problems per se. There was one day when power blackout caused operations to come to a complete halt, no backup power generation. Yesterday saw rainwater pouring out from one corner of the building with drippings from the ceiling at other spots. And the main car park was starting to flood ! Oh dear !

Oh dear ! my friends received an email that contain defect photos from BKI T2....top be honest..the workmanship..very poor ...the contractor (Global Upline SB) managed to complete the terminal way ahead of schedule but at the expensed of the quality....now i start to wonder if they have any QA/QC engineer....
