KUCHING: Hock Seng Lee Bhd (HSL) has secured a RM16.15mil contract from the Sarawak Industrial Development Ministry for a project in Samarahan Industrial Estate near here.
Corporate affairs manager Sonja Gan said the project would involve site clearing, earthworks and infrastructure.
“The contract period is 18 months. We are expected to possess the project site on Feb 14,’’ she told.
HSL was awarded a RM116mil contract for the phase one extension of the Samarahan Industrial Estate in 2008. This project is expected to be completed by March this year.
The RM16.15mil contract awarded last week was the first won by HSL this year. Last year the group secured 14 contracts, mostly road and infrastructure-related, boosting its order book to more than RM1.95bil.
Gan said HSL, whose core strength is in reclamation and sandfill jobs, was awaiting the outcome of several bids on road projects in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE). These projects include access roads to the proposed hydroelectric dam sites in Kapit and Limbang Divisions.
She said as both the Sarawak and federal governments had a clear plan on SCORE’s infrastructure and other developments, HSL expected a lot of job opportunities, especially in Tanjung Manis, Mukah Division where the company had completed several major projects.
Among the projects are the RM300mil Tanjung Manis deepsea port and ongoing projects for the RM64mil shipbuilding industrial zone (to be ready in two months’ time), RM47mil road project to link Tanjung Manis new township, the halal park and Kampung Rajang and RM83mil infastructure works for the proposed RM83mil Palm Oil Industrial Complex project.
Mukah is one of SCORE’s five growth nodes, and it will be developed into a smart city to serve as the corridor’s nerve centre. Tanjung Manis, which is home to Malaysia’s largest integrated timber complex, is planned as an industrial port and halal hub.
Gan said the proposed new Mukah airport and extension of the Tanjung Manis airport were among the major projects in SCORE.
She said HSL was actively pursuing additional packages of works in Sibu and Kuching.
Its RM136mil Sibu flood mitigation project is expected to be completed by June next year. HSL has completed about 30% of the RM452mil Kuching central wastewater management system (package 1) project.
