Advancecon Holdings Bhd has secured a RM121.66 million subcontract to undertake earthworks and related infrastructure works for an off-river storage (ORS) facility that will support the water supply development for a data centre in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the construction and civil engineering group said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advancecon Infra Sdn Bhd, had accepted a Letter of Award (LOA) from the project’s main contractor for the subcontract.
The scope of works includes the construction and completion of earthworks, site preparation, and other associated infrastructure works for the ORS facility under the proposed water supply scheme. The project is designed to provide a production capacity of 65 million litres of water per day, supporting the growing water requirements of a data centre development in Linggi, Port Dickson.
Advancecon said the subcontract will be carried out over a 30-month period, commencing from the date the company receives the written instruction to begin mobilisation and physical construction works.
The company noted that the main contractor has over 30 years of experience in Malaysia’s construction industry, having successfully completed several large-scale infrastructure developments. These include the PKNS Cyber Valley development, the raw water pipeline project for the Rasau Water Treatment Plant, as well as finishing works for the MRT Line 2 project in Cyberjaya.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Advancecon expects the subcontract to contribute positively to the group’s earnings throughout the duration of the project. The company added that the project will be financed through a combination of internally generated funds and external borrowings, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its portfolio of infrastructure and water-related projects.
