Depot
Based on proposed plan, the KL MRT will maintains 2 depots,
one in Kajang near to Taman Selamat before
Kajang Station
and another one near
Sungai Buloh
Station. The Depot in
Sungai Buloh
Station occupies an amount of space and serves as the
headquarters for light and heavy maintenance of the KL MRT, as
well as the operations of the system in general. It is
connected to the main MRT network by a spur line.
The depot is capable of storing a big number of rail vehicles,
with the option to expand to include more vehicles as demand
arises. They are parked on nine sets of tracks, which converge
onto the spur route and later on to the main network.
These rail cars and other maintenance equipment will be stored
and maintained at spur line. It is important that the storage
and maintenance facility be located close to the main network
to minimize costs and for the safety of the alignments.
The facility needs to accommodate administrative and MRT
operations functions.
