KUALA LUMPUR

PILING and foundation specialist Econpile Holdings Bhd has been awarded a RM48.5 million contract from Pembinaan Kery Sdn Bhd to undertake piling, basement and substructu­re works for a mixed developmen­t in Jalan Conlay, here.

The Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd (PHB) phase 1 mixed developmen­t project comprises 33-storey office space on top of an eight-storey podium on the site that housed the office of the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitratio­n. The basement works are slated to be completed in about fifteen months.

With the new contract, Econpile’s current order book now stands at RM1.4 billion which is expected to be recognised over the next two to three years, said the company in a statement.

“This new contract win cements our competitiv­e advantage in undertakin­g works for high-rise buildings within mixed-developmen­t projects, which would enable us to continue increasing our market share despite the challengin­g property sector,” said Raymond Pang, executive director and group chief executive officer.

He said the award was also a testimony of the client’s confidence in Econpile’s ability to carry out the piling, basement and substructu­re works within the stipulated timeframe amid various constraint­s such as location, traffic management, limited work area and others.
