KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak-based infrastructure and marine engineering specialist Hock Seng Lee Bhd (HSL), in consortium with Matrik Bestari Sdn Bhd received the go ahead to construct an access road linking Technology Park Samarahan to Tanjong Bako in Kuching, Sarawak from Public Works Department (JKR) at a contract sum of RM72.5 million. HSL has 90% share in the consortium.

In its filing on Bursa Malaysia on June 9, the payment for the project will be made half in kind, in the form of land, and half in cash.  The project will be completed by Dec 2012.

HSL has RM179 million reclamation and infrastructure works for the shipping industrial estate in Tanjung Manis, RM136 million Sibu Flood Mitigation works, several road works throughout the state, building construction projects including educational institutions and additional reclamation works for industrial estates, among other on-going projects.

“It is an exciting time for Sarawak and with roads into the interiors to be built, the development of hydro-power facilities and rapid urbanization requiring water management, flood mitigation and sewage systems,” Yu said.
