Earthworks and Drainage Come First Local problem ### Bare platform slopes that wash mud into the drains **What you see:** After heavy rain, silt runs off the new platform slopes, blocks the perimeter drain and the yard floods at the gate. **Why it happens here:** Rawang's hillier sites need cut-and-fill platforms, and cleared slopes along the trunk road already show heavy erosion, with Maxwell Road in town flooding often. **What we do:** Our civil and infrastructure works set platform levels, slope protection, drains and any retention pond with the building layout, so runoff is planned before earthworks start. receipt\_long ### Quotations with gaps Piling, approvals, consultants or utilities left out of the price until the job is under way. gavel ### Unclear council steps No one says who prepares the plans, who submits them or how long the council usually takes. precision\_manufacturing ### Machinery decided late Equipment chosen after the design is fixed means cut floors, rerouted drains and delay. event\_busy ### A deadline you cannot move A lease ending or an order book growing, with no clear plan for when the building will be ready. location\_on Gombak District // MPS ## Factory Construction Grounded in Site Works Here we plan the site platform, drainage and retention alongside the factory design, so the budget reflects the real ground. We also serve Selayang and Batu Caves in Gombak, and Kepong and Segambut in Kuala Lumpur. Last updated: 10 November 2026 Rawang began as a tin mining town, and its industrial zones at **Sungai Dua** and **Rawang Perdana** grew from the late 1980s. North of the Klang Valley the ground rises, so most factory sites need a cut-and-fill platform before anything is built. Rain is the other constant. Cleared slopes along the trunk road show heavy erosion, and **Maxwell Road** in the old town floods often. We plan platform levels, slope protection and drainage with the building, and allow for limestone checks near **Batu Caves**, where studies have found underground cavities. ### Earthworks and Platforms on Sloping Sites A factory needs a level platform, and on a sloping lot that means **cut and fill**. How much earth moves, where it goes and how the new slopes are held in place all affect the cost and the programme. We plan the earthworks with the building layout: - **Platform levels** set to balance cut and fill where the site allows - **Slopes and retaining** where the platform meets higher or lower ground - **Access roads** at gradients lorries can manage - **Soil investigation** to confirm the ground the building and slopes rest on Getting the platform level right early saves money later, because it fixes the drainage, the roads and the floor level of the factory. ## Drainage and Retention Ponds On hillier ground, rainwater moves fast. Industrial sites usually need a planned drainage system, and the council may require a **retention pond** to slow runoff before it leaves the site. We design site drainage, monsoon drains and retention with the civil works, so they fit the platform and the roads instead of being squeezed in at the end. Good drainage also protects the factory floor and yard from water damage during heavy rain. For sites further south, in **Kepong** and **Segambut**, the ground is usually less steep, but the same drainage rules apply. ## Submissions to MPS and DBKL Rawang, Selayang and Batu Caves fall under **Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS)**. Kepong and Segambut are under **DBKL**. Drainage and earthworks requirements differ between councils, so we confirm the council for your site. The quotation states who handles the submissions.

We build factories and warehouses across the northern Klang Valley, including Rawang Perdana and Sungai Dua, Selayang and Batu Caves, and Kepong and Segambut in Kuala Lumpur. ### Why do earthworks matter so much on hillier sites? expand\_more Hillier ground means more cut and fill to make a level platform, plus slopes to hold. These works can be a large share of the job, so we plan them with the building and include them in the budget from the start. ### Does my site need a retention pond? expand\_more It depends on the council's requirements and the size of the site. We check this during planning and design the drainage and any retention pond with the civil works. ### Which council approves plans in Rawang? expand\_more Rawang, Selayang and Batu Caves are under Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS), a municipal council since 1997. Kepong and Segambut are under DBKL. The quotation states who prepares and lodges each submission. ### Should I do soil investigation before buying sloping land? expand\_more It can help. Soil investigation shows what the ground can support and what foundations and slope works are likely, which can inform your decision before you commit. ### Can you handle the roads and yard as well as the factory? expand\_more Yes. Our civil and infrastructure works cover earthworks, drainage, roads and hardstanding around the building, planned for the lorries that will use them. ### Is limestone a concern near Batu Caves? expand\_more It can be. Surveys at Kampung Baru Batu Caves have detected cavities in the limestone below ground. On sites in this belt we raise soil investigation, and geophysical survey where needed, before the piling design is fixed. near\_meNearby areas ## Also Building Near Rawang location\_on ### Shah Alam In Shah Alam we mostly help owners get more from a lot they already have: extra bays, mezzanine floors, office blocks, new roofs and floors, or a full rebuild of an older factory.
