Dataran secures sewer contract in Malaysia

United Envirotech’s (UEL) Malaysia subsidiary Dataran Tenaga has secured an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.

The value of the contract is approximately MYR45m ($14m).

As part of the deal, Dataran will build a sewer network in the southern area of Johor Bahru, consisting of a sewage pumping station, 3km of sewer pipeline and a sewage treatment plant.

The contract is claimed to be the first module of a three module project, which has been designed to include the sewer network and treatment system, with a 250,000 population equivalent.

Dataran will start the project immediately, with an anticipated completion date of 2015.

The completed sewer network will provide services to the high-end residential and commercial developments, which are being carried out along the southern coast of Johor Bahru.

UEL noted that the agreement is the largest EPC contract won by Dataran to date, and is a reflection of the buoyant economic situation in the Johor region.

UEL acquired Dataran for MYR5m ($1.5m) in 2006.
