The new Lambor Bridge connects two communities across the Perak River in one of the key districts in the state of Perak, Malaysia. One of the original goals for this project was to elevate the bridge over the 100-year flood level without creating an unacceptable grade of 9.25% in the approach road.
"Under normal circumstances, the Malaysia Department of Irrigation and Drainage requires all permanent structures crossing rivers to have a minimum 1 m [3 ft] of freeboard between the 100-year highest flood level and the soffit level," explains Dr. Fairul Abas, senior bridge engineer, Malaysia Public Works Department. |
