EVCC™ Pedas RSA has achieved a key construction milestone this week with the successful casting of 16.1-meter-high RC gutter columns, forming the vertical backbone of its iconic circular roof. This critical phase sets the foundation for one of the most ambitious rest area structures in Malaysia — a future-ready EV hub with architectural impact.
Strategically positioned at KM241 (Southbound) of the PLUS Expressway, the central circular hub is now visibly rising above the construction horizon. The 16.1-meter-high columns will support a stadium-inspired roof canopy that provides expansive weather coverage, maximized daylighting, and structural grandeur — all while embedding sustainable engineering features.
Engineered for Function, Form & Sustainability
These RC gutter columns are designed not only for vertical support but also for integrated sustainability.
They will support a roof structure that features:
Bi-facial solar PV panels for renewable energy harvesting,
RC gutter system at roof level for rainwater harvesting, channeled into a siphonic drainage network,
Elevated ceiling clearance to optimize natural ventilation and passive cooling.
The substantial column height also accommodates generous volumetric space within the building, aligning with GreenRE Platinum certification ambitions and creating a comfortable, naturally lit indoor environment.
Precision Execution, Structural Integrity
Casting 16.1-meter columns required precision coordination across engineering, formwork, and concrete teams. This milestone demonstrates:
LEVN Capital’s emphasis on quality construction and sustainability,
Robust vertical tolerance control during casting to ensure alignment and load-bearing integrity,
Future-proof capacity to support solar infrastructure, mechanical services, and long-span roofing elements.
As of July 2025, the podium structure continues progressing on schedule. Cranes and scaffolding support systems are now focused on upper-level elevation works, including mezzanine and roof slab preparation.
Reimagining the Highway Experience
EVCC™ Pedas RSA isn’t just a rest stop — it’s the nucleus of a new mobility ecosystem that includes:
Tesla Supercharger & Gentari DC chargers,
Modern drive-thru lanes (McDonald's, CBTL, Tealive),
Retail, dining, and F&B street-market elements,
Centralised surau & washroom facilities — all anchored by the circular building under construction.
With the 16.1-meter columns now cast in concrete, EVCC™ Pedas RSA rises as a symbol of innovation, sustainability, and mobility design excellence — leading the transformation of Malaysia’s highway infrastructure.
