Hurmm..i dont really know how to summarize this..if the water seepage is normal and expected, why there is no gutter for water to flow and discharge through the right channel..well, obviously, water seepage is normal, but such construction would consider IN THE FIRST PLACE method of construction to keep the tunnel DRY and SAFE!So, ‘normality’ doesn’t sound normal to me..yet the cracks n water flows seems quite bad (that it already form moss and stains)..facial cracks like wall plastering is normal, but cracks on the concrete slab is not normal..loads is usually calculated by the engineers and another few percent (maybe30-50%) is usually be mocked-up to ensure its stability and sustainability. So, who to blame? Engineers? Workers? What to blame? Method of construction? Material used?

Great effort by malaysia, As far as seepage is concern, they will over come this problem in future. As we know “THERE IS ALWAYS A ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT”

There is not way you can stopped water coming in from earth. It is recommend to let water come in as to reduce water pressure(surcharge) adding to the structural by coring holes. So, appropriate drainage system to be provided.

Any structural defects found is to be strengthening but not limited to grouting only.

Actually, the tunnel was not made to be waterproof. Water from the back of the concrete slabes can easily go through into the tunnel. The concrete slabs only helps enforce the tunnel.

Wa lio!! If water seep, from where? From the video dont look like coming from tunnel wall. Sure or not from tunnel wall or some water leak from hydrant pipe behind that “case”. That dude at the begining, look quite familiar. Isnt that MP from Cheras or something?

I use that tunnel to avoid jam daily. If want to report soimething make sure correct info, dont play-play to get publisiti. See what uncle sam would say.

but still, its an underground tunnel, i think water seepage is normal, better yet, with the water seeping through its not building up, if its building up and no wehre toogo its gonna be worst, with a few water seepage i think its normal.
