Background
Introduction
PULAU BESAR, MELAKA is located about 15km south east
of Melaka city and can be reached by ferry or speed boat. As the
name suggests, it is a large island (168 hectares). However, there
are approximately only 300 populations with most of them studied
in Tahfiz Centre in Pulau Besar.

Pulau Besar daily consumption is 30,000 GPD. However, the largest

land owner of Pulau Besar, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Melaka
(PKNM) mooted the idea to develop the area as tourism attraction
by constructing hotels in line with State Government of Melaka to
flourish further their tourism sector which had contributed largest
income to the state’s coffer.

Introduction

The treated water source from Duyung Lama Reservoir
(Cap: 2 MG, TWL: 41.46 m, BWL: 36.46 m) deliver the water
via DN600mm mild steel pipes laid from Duyung, Pekan
Ayer Molek, Kampung Bukit Lintang, Taman Telok Mas
and Jalan Pernu before cross from the mainland in Pernu
to Pulau Besar via DN400 HDPE submarine pipes. The
water will then store into Pulau Besar Reservoir (Cap: 0.22
MG, TWL: 24.30 m, BWL: 20.30 m). The existing submarine
pipes was laid back in 1994.
SAMB had carried out short term measures to preserve
the conveyance of treated water to Pulau Besar.
It was reported four (4) major leaks occurred in the
existing submarine pipeline, on 25 April 2017, 4 August
2017, 13 March 2018, 26 November 2018. With a whooping
cost of nearly RM 2.5 million spent, it becomes unbearable
to address the issue without implementing long term
measure to resolve the leaks problem once and for all.
● A study was made to study the feasibility to extract
groundwater in Pulau Besar. The study comprises
investigation and hydrogeological survey and construction of
production well and constructing compact packaged plant
or desalination plant.
● The study had cost SAMB RM 0.453 million. Over the long
run, treatment and production cost by desalination process
is high at RM 2.40/cu.m in comparison to only RM 1.14/cu.m
by normal conventional treatment process. With logistic and
access will remain become problems for operation and
maintenance, groundwater extraction and conventional
treatment plant in Pulau Besar was found not a sustainable
option.

Introduction

● Subsequently in year 2020, a Seawater Reverse Osmosis

(SWRO) plant cost SAMB RM 3.1 million was completed in
Pulau Besar with design production capacity of 20,000
litre/hr (0.48 MLD @ 0.1 MGD).

● Yet, over the years, the production is decreasing due to parts

need to be replaced.

● Even after replacement of parts, yet the results are not

encouraging and satisfying. SAMB still received the
complaint of brackish water produced. Worsen with
barnacles growth has clogged the pipes interior affecting the
flow of pipe.

● This leave the option to lay new submarine pipeline as a long

term measure to resolve the problem.

Proposed Project Objective
The Project is in tandem with SAMB’s continuous efforts in
restructuring, improving and enhancing the water supply
distributions in Melaka State particularly Pulau Besar.

increase the delivery and distribution of treated water to
Pulau Besar.

❖ The pipes shall conforms to MS 1058 equivalent to ISO 4427

from SPAN approved supplier.

❖ With bigger pipes, amount of at least 1 – 1.3 MGD will be

distributed, cater the rise up in water demand especially
during festive and holiday season and also anticipated future
development in Pulau Besar.
