Infrastructure for the people

Gamuda has helped progress the socio-economic development of the country through infrastructure developments. Today, Gamuda is Klang Valley’s prime builder and operator of major intra-urban highways in the Klang Valley. These developments have improved the everyday lives of Malaysians in the way they commute and live.

Having started off as a Class A contractor involved in the construction of major roads, the company has since undertaken significant projects that not only eased traffic congestion, but spurred new growth corridors due to better connectivity, for example, the six-lane Kota Bridge in Klang, Selangor which, upon completion in the early 1990s, relieved traffic congestion in the Klang town centre. The company was also involved in the construction of the North South Expressway from Simpang Pulai to Gopeng, in Perak as well as a road from Simpang Pulai to Pos Slim.

Gamuda’s other major infrastructure projects since the 1990s that served as catalysts in urbanising the Klang Valley include the Shah Alam Expressway, the Damansara-Puchong Highway and the Western Kuala Lumpur Dispersal System (SPRINT). The company also built the four-lane Kuantan Bridge spanning 423.9m, which was completed in 2009. These new connections spurred new developments and bigger populations, which in turn led to the introduction of new modes of public transportation such as the MRT and Light Rail Transit to serve these new growth corridors.

Through its JV partnership, Gamuda went on to build the 329km Electrified Double Track from Ipoh to Padang Besar, making it one of Malaysia’s largest rail infrastructure undertakings.

Its JV partnership with Naim Engineering was recently awarded a package for the Pan Borneo Highway from Pantu Junction to Batang Skrang worth RM1.57 billion.
