HSS Group of Companies
would like to take this opportunity
to wish all our readers a
Fruitful, Peaceful &
Meaningful 2006!
As I write this, there are many uncer-
tainties in the coming year. Yet I would
like to look forward with hope and come
with new dimensions to accommodate the
changes the year promises.
Last year the Government dipped into its
goody bag and announced RM2.4bil worth
of construction projects serving as a pre-
cursor to the 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP).
This was a timely provision of renewedhope to us facing an ailing construction
sector.
Now, we are looking with hope and prom-
ise for, the Ninth Malaysia Plan to be an-
nounced next month. Question is will 9MP
really revive the construction industry?
Hopefully there will be announcements of
more higher-valued and specialised jobs,
including water, waste management and
railway projects, that will augur
well for us.
It may prove to be a shot in the arm, but
we have to wait and see. Fortunately for
HSS we had a change of strategic vision
over the last few years and combined it
with overseas venture. We dared to look
beyond Malaysia and had some measure
of success overseas.
Change is the lifeblood of our industry, and
our modern society. Managing change is
the biggest challenge facing any industry.
We realized we cannot expect to achieve
new goals or move beyond our present
circumstances unless we change.
Overseas projects have been a recent
hallmark of the construction industry. One
of our most exciting destinations for us has
been India but it has not been that simple.Middle east especially United Arab Emir-
ates looks promising.
But this route has not been easy. We are
still getting used to the teething problems
such as competitive bidding, cost overruns,
and adjusting to the local political and eco-
nomic climate.
Locally, despite a well-documented dearth
of mega projects, we still look forward to
an upward shift in scale, from predomi-
nantly small-scale projects to a combina-
tion of small-scale and mid-sized projects.
As for now, it is up to us to modify our
dreams or magnify our skills. We prefer
to do the latter with your support. And like
Mahatma Gandhi said, We must be the
change we wish to see in the world.

t is observed that retrogressive riverbed degradation of Sg. Semenyih has occurred since early 1990s with the
result of significant scouring at the substructure of KTMB Bridge No. 1104 and KTMB Bridge No. 1068. KTMB Bridge No.
1104 is located at N320300/E421800 across Sg. Semenyih, whereas Bridge No. 1068 is located at N330900/E421400
across Sg. Langat, both in the District of Hulu Langat, Selangor.
In view of the above, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) has appointed HSS Integrated Sdn Bhd (HSSI) to
undertake the consultancy services for Remedial Work on Substructures and River Bank Protection of Bridges No.
1104 and 1068 near Bangi and Kajang stations. The scope of works includes engineering survey, soil investigation,
hydrology and hydraulic analysis, preliminary engineering design, detailed design, contract documentation and site
supervision.
The official signing ceremony between KTMB and HSSI was held on 6th December 2005. The Managing Director of KTMB,
Dato Mohd Salleh Abdullah and Datuk Ir. Kuna Sittampalam (HSSI) signed the agreement which was witnessed by the
key representatives from both companies. The total project cost for the both bridges is RM4.2 million and the construc-
tion is expected to be completed by July 2006.

and external works on Lot 4G8, Precinct 4, Putrajaya.
Lot 4G8 is approximately 1.4 acres in area and is located in the northeast-
ern direction of Dataran Khazanah. It is accessed by road as well as a
proposed light rail transit system.
The office building consists of a 32 storey office tower that resembles the
Bunga Kantan (Flower Bud of the Torch Ginger). A construction ofpestressed and reinforced concrete construction is adopted for the floor
system.
The office tower features a four level basement of reinforced concrete con-
struction aided with diaphragm wall and bored piles of different sizes to
optimise the load carrying capacity.

Completed Projects...
The successful completion of theupgrading of Federal Route 98in August 2003 has provided a safe,
efficient and comfortable road be-
tween the towns of Temerloh to
Jerantut in the state of Pahang Darul
Makmur. The upgrading work of the
55km road was undertaken by
Perkasa Sutera Sdn Bhd, as the turn-
key contractor for Jabatan Kerja
Raya, Malaysia under a deferred pay-
ment scheme. HSSI was the De-
tailed Design Consultant for the
Project.
The upgrading work was divided into
two sections, namely :
Section 1A : Temerloh to Kuala
Kurau of a length of 25 km,
and
Section 1B : Kuala Kurau to Jerantut
of 30 km length.
The road was upgraded from a JKR
R3 standard to a two-lane single car-
riageway designed to JKR R5 stan-
dards with a design speed of 80 km/
hr. The alignment traverses along
rural settings, passing by several vil-
lages, schools and mosques. The
quaint town of Kuala Kurau is located
mid-way of the alignment.
Five river bridges across Sg. Ketam,
Sg. Tekal, Sg. Kiol, Sg. Mai, and Sg.
Chengal form part of the works. The
bridge structures are of prestressed
concrete T-beam type, with foun-
dation consisting of 700mm-diameter
reinforced concrete bored piles. A
deck width of 15.9m caters for four-
lane traffic. The bridge approachesare on piled embankment with RE
walls introduced to optimize the
width of piled embankment and lim-
iting encroachment into rivers. The
ground treatment work for the road
formation involves excavation of soft
material and replacement with se-
lected suitable fill. Utility relocation
was also carried out and all the junc-
tions along the alignment were pro-
vided with street lighting.
The upgrading work has been timely
as the road had been operating at
almost full capacity with the post-
construction traffic volume at an
average of 5000 to 8000 vehicles/
day with motorcycles comprising20% of the traffic composition. The
completion of the upgrading works,
apart from relieving traffic conges-
tion, is aimed to spur development
along this corridor as well as to
boost tourism as Jerantut is the
nearest town to the world re-
nowned Taman Negara (National
Park).

Bandar Sri Permaisuri
The on-going development of
Westport marked another milestone
lately with the completion and com-
mission of liquid bulk terminal no. 4
(LBT 4) with a central working plat-
form measuring 101m x 27m. LBT 4
has 4 mooring dolphins (14.5m X 14m)
which are linked to the platform by
four bridges with spans averaging
22m. The central platform is linked to
the shoreline by an access bridge mea-
suring 301m x 14m. The central plat-
form and mooring dolphins are of re-
inforced concrete while the access and
link bridges consist of prestressed
concrete beams with reinforced con-
crete deck slab.
The terminal is designed for vessel with
a maximum displacement weight of
130,000 tonnes with a draught of
15m.
Completed in February 2004 after a 10
month construction period, the berth
boasts a state-of-the-art fire-fighting
systems inclusive of foam towers and
a platform mounted high-velocity wa-
ter hose. In addition, it is the only
berth in Westport mounted with a la-
ser vessel docking system for accurate
manoeuvring and docking of the incom-
ing ships. The berth now serves ma-
jor clients for Westport such as Caltexand Petronas.

hh finally, I heaved a sign of re-
lief.
After months of organizing and prepa-
ration by the committee and myself,
the HSS Company Trip 2005 to
Pangkor Island was finally around the
corner and boy oh boy were we all
excited!! The mood in the office was
buzzing with excitement.
Around 80 of us boarded the bus with
much anticipation and with a quick
stopover in Teluk Intan, we boarded
the ferry to Pangkor Island Beach Re-
sort, our home for the next three
days! With the sky so blue and
gentle wind blowing, I thought to
myself, This feels like the beginning
of a wonderful holiday.
Lunch awaited us at Hornbill Restau-
rant upon our arrival at the hotel.
Checking into our respective rooms, I
was surprised to discover that my
room was spacious and had an awe-
some view of the sea. And hey!! Just
ask anyone about the bathroom,
youd get a better response! :)
A quick rest to recharge our batteries,
and it was time to hit the beach for
the telematches. Splited into 5 teams
identified by colours; dares and chal-
lenges were being thrown about
amongst the various teams, many of
which came dressed in similar colours.
Talk about team spirit!! The
telematches were simple games that
require very little strategies but a
helluva lot of teamwork!! I was with
team Red and we came in a very re-
spectable last!! But we
definitely had the most
fun!!! Needless to say,
Team All Blacks demol-
ished the opposition in
quite similar fashion as
the rugby team from NZ!
After the games, most of
us just relaxed and enjoyed the hotel
facilities, while others went beach jog-
ging, played beach volleyball and sight
seeing.
Dinner at the Pacific Ballroom was a
feast of BBQ and seafood! And after
such a hectic and tiring evening, we
all dug in!! Following the hearty meal
was no other than some entertain-
ment ~ dancing and karaoke singing!
Being the President, I was invited tobelt out the first number, along with
my backup singer / dancer Stanley.
Needless to say I shall not be partici-
pating in any upcoming Malaysian
Idols!!!!
On the second day, most of us indulged
in our own activities, which included
jet skiing, (Yoges went twice! and
seemed to be thoroughly exhilarated
from the experi-
ence) kayaking or
just lazing by the
beach or the pool
(which was
equipped with a
bar!) No second-
guessing was
needed as to
where I spent most of my time :)
A tour around the island was organized

Finally, all good things must come to an end...It was time to head back to
KL and leave this tropical paradise. However, many stories and fond memo-
ries of Pangkor Island were shared, which till today still popped up in our
conversations!! It was truly a relaxing holiday, but what was more grati-
fying for me was the fact that several people congratulated me on a job
well done. Indeed, all the preparations by the committee had not gone
unnoticed and thats what made the event all the more memorable. On
this note, I would like to thank the committee for making this trip a rous-
ing success! Without a doubt, I had a whale of a time!!!

Halcrow invited HSSI to a friendly futsal match on the
23rd November 2005 at the Futsal Center Section 19,
Petaling Jaya. The game was played in four quarters of
10 minutes each. Once again, HSSI claimed their victory
with an impressive 8-5 win.
The trick was a do or die prep talk by HSSI Team Man-
ager, Aziz Salleh!
Within the first minute, HSSI through Mohan beat Reuben(Halcrow) from the spot after Rob Davies (Halcrow) handled
Raja Andis cross in the box. The second goal came just
two minutes into play after a superb one two between
Raja Andi and Naza, where Raja Andi confidently side
footed the ball home. Throughout the first quarter, HSSI
kept Halcrow at bay. With
30 seconds left on the
clock, Rob Davies with a
long-range effort slotted
home a long overduegoal.
Mohan slotted his second goal from the spot in the second
minute of the second quarter. Five minutes into the second
quarter, Sabri slotted a long-range effort home while Fauzi
replaced Yoga. Halcrow scored one late goal making the
final score of the second quarter 4-2 in favour of HSSI.
In the third quarter, HSSI lost concentration, which allowed
Halcrow even the score with two early goals. Captain Naza
rectified the situation by scoring a superb long-range goal
with forty-five seconds left on the clock, giving HSSI a 5-4
lead.
As confidence grew back, HSSI showed superb sleek move-
ments in the final quarter. Aziz Din slotted a goal within the
first minute. Rob Davies pulled one back midway through
making it 6-5, in favour of HSSI. Michael Owen Yoga eased
the pressure with two late goals.

An extremely friendly golf tourney amongst HSS, Leighton Contractors (M) Sdn Bhd and Maju
Holdings Sdn Bhd was organized on 22nd August 2005, held at Sg Long Golf and Country Club.
17 golfers teed off at 1pm after finish luncheon.
The only hiccup to an otherwise wonderful afternoon, was the heavy downpour, which once
started, were seemed to go away. No rain of course could dampened these golfers as they
opted for an alternative recreation happy hour! Typical! It was indeed a memorable golf
tourney!

Engineering provides an ever changing spectrum of challenges and opportunities. It is extremely vital that all engi-
neers be committed to their own Continuing Professional Development (CPD) so that they could face these challengesand at the same time develop the skills and knowledge base of themselves.
The CPD objective for Professional Engineer (PE) is the maintenance of technical knowledge and skill (i.e. competency)
to do a job. At the same time to require all engineers to stay abreast of new engineering development in their field and
changes in codes and regulations.
On 16th December 2005, HSS organized an in-house awareness talk for all their PEs. Ir. P.Vimalanathan and Ir. Chen
Wai Peng gave respective presentations as part of their on-going professional self development to uphold the policy
objectives set by Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
The topics covered included, the importance and various activities of CPD and how to acquire CPD points.
