Kajian kesan lubang benam/pemendapan dengan menggunakan kaedah geoteknikal dan geofizikal di sebahagian Jalan PSK 2, PSK 4 dan PSK 7, Pusat Perdagangan Seri Kembangan, Selangor Darul Ehsan

Led by Associate Professor Ir. Ts. Dr. Adnan Derahman, a specialized team from the Geotechnical Forensic Specialized Initiative Group (GeoForenSIG) at the School of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, UITM, was engaged by JM BUDI RESOURCES to investigate settlement and sinkhole issues at an industrial park in Seri Kembangan. This expert team included Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Ismacahyadi Bagus Mohamed Jais, Ir. Ts. Dr. Abdul Samad Abdul Rahman, Ir. Noorfaizah Hamzah, Dr. Norazlan Khalid, Nur'ain Mat Yusof, Norazuan Imam Mahadi, Mohd Zarinnizar Afif Wahab, Muhamad Hazli Shariei, and Mohd Shahmir Mohd Said. Their work aimed to identify the root causes of the settlement and sinkhole, providing critical insights to support subsequent drain rehabilitation efforts. The scope of this investigation encompassed a detailed geotechnical forensic analysis, utilizing both geotechnical (MP/JKR probe) and geophysical techniques, such as Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI), to accurately assess subsurface conditions. These advanced techniques enabled the team to construct a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causes of the sinkhole formation, offering a scientific foundation for remedial action. This investigation exemplifies the School of Civil Engineering's commitment to applying technical expertise to address critical infrastructure challenges and ensure public safety.
