1 GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
(1) This manual will serve as a guide for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of Sg.
Rasau/Air Hitam and Sg. Parit Tampoi under the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Flood
Mitigation Project – Immediate Action Plan. This manual has been written for project and
management personnel familiar with the project and does not contain detailed
information which is common to site personnel or which is presented in other existing
manuals or regulations.
(2) The intent of the operating instructions is to provide information which allows orderly
and efficient use of the constructed infrastructure to meet project goals and objectives.
The intent of the maintenance instructions is to present preventive maintenance
information consisting of systematic inspections and subsequent corrective actions
which should ensure long-term utilization of the infrastructure. A timely preventive
maintenance program prevents major damage to constructed features by early
corrective action.
(3) This manual provides the general standards of maintenance and establishes an initial
frequency of maintenance inspections which should ensure satisfactory project
performance.
(1) This manual is divided into several sections: It includes descriptions of actual
infrastructure constructed for this project. Maintenance and operations requirements and
inspection checklists are included to assist the O & M staff. Emergency operations and
reference information are also identified.
The works were identified under the Immediate Action Plan of Multimedia Super Corridor
Master Drainage Plan completed in 1999 by Dr. Nik & Associates for the Department of
Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia. Separate tenders were called for Sg. Rasau/Sg. Air
Hitam and Sg. Parit Tampoi and the construction contracts were awarded in December
2001 and January 2002, and completed in July 2005 and May 2006 respectively.

O&M Manual 8 of 44
The project covers the improvement of Sg. Rasau/Sg. Air Hitam draining the north-west
portion of Putrajaya and northern part of Cyberjaya, and Sg. Parit Tampoi draining the
soutern part of Cyberjaya.
The objective of the project is to create a flood free environment conducive for the fast
pace of development in MSC.
5.2.1 Omissions
The construction contract includes inlet and outlet structures for a detention pond in “Lot
336”. As the permission for the use of the pond was not granted by the relevant authority
during the contract period, these works were omitted. Another consequence of this was
that Sg. Rasau upstream of the pond was only partially improved with a provisional
section without bank protection works.
Sg. Rasau-Air Hitam is an entirely new river channel constructed to receive flows from
Sg. Rasau and Sg. Air Hitam and discharges into Sg. Klang just upstream of Elite
Highway. It is 2.9 km long up to the confluence with Sg. Air Hitam and the completed
river section has a bottom width of 20 m. The top width of the river bunds is 5 m. Both
the interior and exterior side slope is 3H to 1V. The bunds were constructed of suitable
material from the river excavation work. The height of the bund is 4 to 5 m. See Drawing
No……………
The upper stretch of Sg. Rasau-Air Hitam along Ch. 3000-3468 and the outlet structure
for the “Lot 336” detention pond were omitted due to presence of mining activity by third
parties creating a large pond at this location.
Sg. Air Hitam is 6.4 km long and extends from its confluence with Sg. Rasau-Air Hitam to
the outlet of the twin 4.8m x 3.0 m box culvert crossing Putrjaya Link. It receives flows
from the western portion of Cyberjaya through the Missing Link 1 and 2 which have not
been constructed at the time of writing this manual. The completed Sg. Air Hitam has a
O&M Manual 9 of 44
bottom width of 5 m. The section from Ch. 1270 m to Ch. 6400 passes through peat soil.
The peat soil at Ch. 1270-4150 is shallow (up to 4 m deep) and soil replacement using
imported sand was carried out to form the river section with bunds on both sides of the
river and side slopes of 1V:3H were provided. Deep peat up to 7 m is found along Ch.
4150-6400; as such, a natural compound channel with very flat (1V:5H) side slopes was
constructed in the parent material without soil replacement along this stretch.
Sg. Rasau receives flows from its catchment as well as from Sg. Gajah Catchment and
is planned to discharge into the detention pond in “Lot 336”. As permission for the use of
the pond was delayed, the inlet structure to the pond was omitted and an interim unlined
compound section with a bottom width of 6 m was constructed for Sg. Rasau. At the time
of this writing, this river discharges into an ex-mining pond in Lot 5318 to the north of Lot
336 through the existing old Sg. Rasau and finally flows into Sg. Klang through another
Sg. Air Hitam upstream of Sg. Rasau-Air Hitam.
These structures cater for the drainage of areas flanking Sg. Rasau/Air Hitam. They
consist of precast R.C.box or pipe culverts founded on 150mm x 150mm R.C. piles.
Except for CR1 and CR2 which are fitted with HDPE flap gates to prevent local flooding
due to backwater from Sg. Klang during high water stage, the outfall structures are
ungated. C1, C2 and C3 provide crossings for drainage of Cyberjaya and Pinggiran
Cyberjaya across Putrajaya Link into Sg. Air Hitam.
The access road consists of 3 m wide crusher-run surfacing along the 5 m wide river
bund. The surfacing allows inspection and maintenance to be carried out even in wet
weather. Access is provided for both sides of the rivers. Where cut off by ponds and
along Sg. Air Hitam Ch 4150-6400, access is provided on one side only.
The entire stretch of Sg. Rasau-Air Hitam and Sg. Air Hitam from Ch. 0 to Ch. 4150 are
lined with sand-filled mattress. The purpose is to stabilize the river against erosion, and
to control weed growth along the side slopes.
O&M Manual 10 of 44
Riprap was placed at the toe of sand-filled mattress to prevent toe scour. It was also
placed at pond inlets and outlets and at the outlet of all outfall structures to ensure the
stability of the structures.
Riprap was also placed at the river bed of Sg. Air Hitam along Ch 1270-4150 to prevent
heaving of the river bed.
Sg. Parit Tampoi is an entirely new river channel constructed to receive flows from the
soutern portion of Cyberjaya and from the Bio-Valley. It is 6.3 km long up to the
confluence with Sg. Langat and the completed river section has a bottom width of 20 m.
The top width of the river bunds is 5 m. Both the interior and exterior side slope is 3H to
1V. The bunds were constructed of suitable material from the river excavation work. The
height of the bund is 4 to 5 m. See Drawing No……………
These structure cater for the drainage of areas flanking Sg. Parit Tampoi. They consist of
precast R.C.box or pipe culverts founded on 150mm x 150mm R.C. piles. Except for C1
at CH333 LHS and C1A at CH630 LHS which have been fitted with HDPE flap gates by
JPS Kuala Langat to prevent local flooding due to backwater from Sg. Langat during
high water stage, the outfall structures are ungated.
The access road consists of 3 m wide crusher-run surfacing along the 5 m wide river
bund. The surfacing allows inspection and maintenance to be carried out even in wet
weather. Access is provided for both sides of the rivers.
Sg. Parit Tampoi is lined with sand-filled mattress along river bends and where the bank
is constructed of sandy material. The purpose is to stabilize the river against erosion,
and to control weed growth along the side slopes.
Riprap was placed at the toe of sand-filled mattress to prevent toe scour. It was also
placed at pond inlets and outlets and at the outlet of all outfall structures to ensure the
stability of the structures.
O&M Manual 11 of 44
Silting of the river bed and settlement of the river bunds may occur. Desilting has to be
carried out when the river capacity is reduced to 75% of the design capacity. Topping up
of the river bund will be needed when there is excessive settlement. River cross-
sectional survey inclusive of the bunds at 50 m intervals at 5-year intervals is required
for proper planning of these activities.

O&M Manual 15 of 44
5.5.3 Controls
Using the legislation referred to in 2.0 as a reference, the District JPS should control
development or construction on, through or in the vicinity of the flood mitigation works,
so that such activity does not reduce the existing standard of flood protection. Activity
outside the right-of way should be in accordance with accepted management practice
(MSMA) and this is administered by the local government.
(1) Excavation
Excavation adjacent to the river bund, bank protection or other flood protection
structures should be discouraged, but where such excavation is necessary, expert
advice should be obtained to ensure that the excavation does not destabilize the flood
mitigation works.
Where pipes, cables or other works must pass through or along the river bunds, the
correct use of seepage collars and compacted backfill materials is mandatory. Rupture
resistant pipe, with mechanical or equivalent joints which will not separate under
settlement, shall be used where pipe is laid within the design river bund section. Material
excavated to install the works should be replaced with backfill material of equivalent
flood resistant quality and in a manner that will not reduce the standard of protection.
(3) Encroachment
Trees or tall shrubs should not be allowed to encroach on the river bund. Buildings or
other obstructions should not be allowed within the right-of-way or situated in a position
that would impede river bund maintenance work or the functioning of designated
floodway corridors.
(4) Access
Access to the river bund crest, slopes and adjacent bank protection should be
maintained to permit inspection, maintenance and repair of the flood mitigation works.
Any work or works proposed on or in the immediate vicinity of flood control works
comprising the river bund, bank protection, structures or internal drainage works, should
be reviewed by JPS and other affected regulatory agencies before work proceeds.
O&M Manual 16 of 44
Sediment removal should be undertaken when the available flow area is reduced to 75%
of the design flow area.
Sediment removal from the river channel should not be undertaken in a manner which
may jeopardize the integrity of the river bund. Excavation on the river side should
generally be undertaken a safe distance away from the toe of any riprap as determined
by the JPS District Engineer.
Care should be taken to ensure that the operation does not damage the bank protection
such as sand-filled mattress and the toe protection.
At least once a year the entire river system should be inspected by District JPS for need
of routine maintenance. This inspection should be scheduled early enough prior to the
flood season to allow adequate time for any required maintenance work to be completed
prior to high water conditions.
The inspector from District JPS should look for and note any of the following items:
d) animal burrows;
f) signs of erosion of the riverbank or damage to the existing bank protection. During
v) loss of, or significant changes to, the overbank area which could endanger the
river bund.
g) the condition of flap gates of outfall structures as to the ability to open and close
freely and provide a watertight seal when shut;
h) any access obstructions to the river bund and along the river bund crest;
A written report on the results of the inspection should be prepared and submitted to JPS
and the necessary work scheduled for completion prior to the next flood period.
Additional river bund inspections or patrols should be carried out during high water
events to monitor the performance of the flood control works and take corrective action
as required, see Section 5.5.6 Emergency Measures and Repair Work.
During high water events, local water level gauges should be monitored regularly and
the readings recorded for long-term reference. River bund patrol frequency should
increase as the water levels approach critical conditions, and should be continuous while
the level is within 1.0 m of the river bund crest. The patrol crews are to observe and
report to the JPS District Engineer any occurrences that could signal a weakening of the
works, such as:
a) Seepage: Seepage through the river bund and at the landside toe of the river bund is
to be expected at high flood levels. This seepage is considered to be normal provided
flows are not excessive or concentrated in the form of piping or boils.
Piping results where fill is transported by the seepage flow; this can be identified either
as suspended silts (murky water) or visible grain particles. This process enlarges or
progresses toward the river at an increasing rate. Eventually an open path is created
and the river bund is breached.
O&M Manual 18 of 44
The piping process is sometimes indicated by boils, small upwellings which can appear
at considerable distances inland from the inside toe of the river bund, and which are
caused by excessive seepage pressure.
ii) transverse cracking: forms perpendicular to the river bund alignment and can
easily create a seepage path.
iii) longitudinal cracking: forms parallel to the river bund alignment and may indicate
the start of a slide or slump. May result from toe erosion, differential settlement or
saturation.
Damage to river bund slopes should be repaired as soon as possible by the addition and
compaction of appropriate earth fill materials to restore the slope to original condition.
O&M Manual 19 of 44
Vegetation on the river bund side slopes should ideally consist of closely trimmed grass.
The river bund slopes should be cut at least once annually. Tree and brush growth
should be removed for the following reasons:
i) The vegetation attracts burrowing animals whose burrows are detrimental to the
ii) Tall vegetation obscures signs of seepage or damage to the river bund which may
thus go undetected and eventually cause river bund failure.
iii) Tree roots, when they decompose, can encourage the development of pipes, and
iv) Large trees pose an additional threat to river bund stability, especially during flood
events when the river bund structure becomes saturated. High winds and overbank
erosion during floods can cause trees to fall resulting in the displacement of river
bund
fill material and possible failure of the river bund. In coastal regions especially, these
Every three to four years the river bund crest profile should be surveyed and compared
to the design profile. Any low areas should be raised by the addition of crushed gravel
surfacing, prior to grading of the whole river bund crest as required to maintain a smooth
riding surface. Geodetic benchmark information is given in the as-built drawings.
Repair should be made by the addition of suitably graded rock riprap. The rock should
be placed by backhoe, hydraulic excavator, or clamshell to fit tightly together and form a
smooth continuous slope.
If a major failure of the bank protection occurs, specialist advice should be obtained prior
to undertaking a repair.
Maintenance of a culvert consists of cleaning the inlet and outlet of any accumulated
debris and sediment to ensure water can flow freely through the culvert. The flap gate
where fitted should be periodically cleaned and lubricated to ensure that it swings freely
and closes properly with a good seal.
The river bund slopes adjacent to the culvert should be kept clear of trees and brush to
allow unimpeded inspection of the inlet and outlet of the culvert.
All inspections should include a check for signs of sloughing which could block the inlet
to the culvert. Both the inlet and the outlet should be checked for signs of erosion or
undermining of the structure.
Concrete inlet and outlet structures should be inspected for evidence of cracking or
spalling. Concrete pipe culverts should be inspected for excessive joint movement, loss
of joint sealant and leaks at joints.
It would be advisable to prepare a flood contingency plan in conjunction with the local
authority.
If there is a threat to the safety of a river bund, the District JPS may carry out any work
that is essential to prevent the river bund or bank protection from failing.
The District JPS is responsible to ensure there are adequate personnel, equipment and
materials readily available to respond to emergency conditions. As the river rises to
critical levels, crews should be prepared to undertake emergency repairs as outlined
below.
O&M Manual 21 of 44
The simplest and most effective method of treating an active boil (one that is carrying
sand and silt) is to construct an impervious ring around it of a sufficient height to stop the
transportation of solid material. It should not be built to a height which stops the flow of
clear water because of the probability of building up an excessive local pressure head,
which could cause river bund failure or additional boils nearby. Concrete well rings, short
pieces of large diameter pipe, earth berms, steel sheet pilings, etc., can all be used, but
the most generally accepted method is using sandbag rings.
• Scarify the base for the ring (internal diameter of which should be at least 1-1/2
times the contemplated height) to provide a watertight bond between the natural
ground and the sack ring (a very important step).
• Lay sacks in a ring around the boil and surrounding weak ground starting at its
outer edge and working towards the centre. Joints are staggered and loose earth is
used as a mortar.
• When the proper height is reached (when clear water only is being discharged) a
“V”-shaped drain constructed of wood or sheet metal should be inserted near the top
of the ring to carry off the water in a more controlled manner in the most desirable
direction.
• All flowing inactive boils should be flagged and closely monitored throughout the
flood period in case they start to transport solids.
The Structural, Geotechnical and Dam Specialist Division should be alerted under the
following situations:
• there is an extensive area of inactive boils and the river level is expected to rise.
During high water events the land side slope and toe should be monitored for excessive
seepage and possible piping problems. Where seepage on the river bunds’ landside
slope leads to soggy unstable conditions, free draining fill berms may be added. Where
time permits, expert advice should be obtained, if possible, before taking corrective
action.
Where river currents are eroding the face of the river bund or nearby overbank,
additional large rock riprap should be placed with an excavator or end-dumped if the site
is accessible to heavy equipment and safe for operation; however, expert advice should,
if possible, be obtained.
(4) Saturation
If high water levels are sustained for some time and the river bunds become thoroughly
saturated, it may become necessary to restrict traffic on the river bund crest road.
As the prediction of flood profiles is uncertain, and because river bunds often have
varying freeboard, patrols should be advised to pay close attention to areas with lower
than average freeboard.
Once water flows over the river bund crest, fill is usually washed away creating a breach,
which is impossible to close until the water levels equalize and much damage has
resulted. It is, therefore, imperative that overtopping be prevented.
Traditionally, sand bags are considered for raising low sections of river bund. However,
progress is slow and an excessive amount of labour is required. Sand bags should
normally only be considered for raising short sections of river bund. As an alternative to
sandbags, reinforced plastic sheeting can be used to contain loose granular or other fill.
Heavy equipment and trucks can be used to raise a river bund provided the work is done
well in advance of high river levels. No heavy equipment should be allowed on the river
bund when the water level is near the top of the river bund as the vibration might cause
a failure. See Section 6.7 for emergency warning.
O&M Manual 23 of 44
Local runoff and drainage will not escape once outlets are closed in bunded areas which
are not provided with permanent pumping facilities. Temporary pumping of local
drainage, or interception and diversion of inflow from higher elevations, may be
necessary to alleviate this condition.
A regularly updated list of potential pump and generator suppliers, together with their
required delivery and setup times, should be maintained.
Should the possibility of uncontrollable river bund failure arise, the Local Authority must
be alerted immediately.
1. Minor Repairs: Minor repairs are covered in Section 5.5.5 of this manual.
2. Major Repairs & Restoration: Major repairs and restoration such as river bund
rebuilding, raising or widening, removal of in-stream sediment aggradation and debris
jams, and work that involves breaching of existing river bunds such as culvert
replacement, requires expert engineering advice. Engineering advice should also be
obtained regarding permanent repair and restoration work following emergency
conditions. All cases of severe damage should, if possible, be recorded with
photographs, dates and times of the occurrences.
3. Responsibility for Repairs & Restoration: The Works are designed to provide
protection to habitable areas of development up to the design event. Repairs and
restoration of the Works as a result of damage, as well as the removal of sediment and
debris aggradation from the channel, that is caused by floods with magnitudes up to and
including the magnitude of the design are the responsibility of the District JPS.
5.5.8 Records
The as-built drawings should be kept available as a reference tool for staff assigned the
duty of operating and maintaining the flood mitigation system. Elevations and cross-
sectional information are especially useful should repair works become necessary.
O&M Manual 24 of 44
Cases of severe damage to flood protection works during high water conditions should
be recorded with photographs, and records should be kept of river bund inspection logs,
gauge readings and high water marks. Also, a detailed record history of all major repair
work must be made and kept as constructed drawings. Repair records should include
dates, stationing and/or location of repairs, dimensions and specifications for materials
used, a description of the probable or apparent failure process, and “before” and “after”
photos of the repairs.
A detailed record of all sediment and debris removal must be kept with the as-
constructed drawings and inspection reports. This must include channel surveys before
and after sediment removal, and sediment volumes removed.
5.5.9 Surveillance
(1) General
b. There are 2 types of inspections for the project: (1) Project Inspection by the JPS
District Engineer, and (2) Joint Inspection by the JPS District Engineer and personnel
from the Selangor State JPS River Engineering Division.
(3) Joint Inspection by JPS District Engineer and State JPS River Engineering
Division
a. Routine
A Joint Inspection by the JPS District Engineer and the State JPS River Engineering
Division will be scheduled by the latter. The purpose of this inspection is to assure that
adequate maintenance is being performed as presented in this manual. The JPS District
Engineer or Authorized Representatives should have access to all portions of the
constructed project for this purpose. Copies of this inspection will be furnished to the
JPS District Engineer stating project maintenance conditions. Corrective actions from
these inspections should be accomplished by the JPS District Engineer.
b. Catastrophic
A Joint Inspection by the JPS District Engineer and the State JPS River Engineering
Division should be formally requested by the JPS District Engineer immediately following
a specific storm or flood event which causes excessive damage to the infrastructure.
The Project Inspections by the JPS District Engineer and Joint Inspection results will be
the basis for determining maintenance responsibility and potential rehabilitation.
Repair is considered to entail those activities of a routine nature that maintain the project
in a well kept condition. Replacement covers those activities taken when a worn-out
element or portion thereof is replaced. Rehabilitation refers to a set of activities as
necessary to bring a deteriorated project back to its original condition. RR&R actions are
to conform to the project as-built plans and specifications unless other arrangements are
made with the JPS District Engineer.
(1) General
In the event of major damage, project rehabilitation may be required. Any changes to the
project or inability to maintain project infrastructure as designed should be coordinated
with the State JPS.
Evidence of distress of the river bund and/or structures must be immediately reported to
the Selangor State JPS River Engineering Division. The following individuals should be
contacted, in the order indicated:
