Sembawang Engineers and Constructors (Sembawang), one of the leading engineering and construction companies in Southeast Asia and a subsidiary of global conglomerate Punj Lloyd Group, is pleased to announce that it has clinched a major contract worth S$180.6 million from PUB the national water agency of Singapore.
The Lower Seletar Waterworks (LSWW) project, awarded through a public tender by PUB, is to construct the new 60 Million Imperial Gallons of Water (MiGD) waterworks at Lower Seletar at the junction of Western Road Link (also known as Seletar West Link) and the Seletar Expressway (SLE).
Mr Richard Grosvenor, President and CEO of Sembawang said, “We are pleased to be awarded this important contract by PUB. Sembawang has an established track record in handling major waterworks projects and is one of the few EPC companies in Singapore capable of providing comprehensive solutions for environmental projects such as the Lower Seletar Waterworks, ranging from design and construction to management services.”
The scope of work includes construction, testing and commissioning for the waterworks and ancillary facilities. In addition, Sembawang will also provide a year's maintenance service after the completion of the construction work for some of the plant and equipment/systems.
The LSWW will receive and treat water from the existing Lower Seletar Reservoir (LSR) and will deliver drinking water to PUB's Island Service Reservoir along the SLE. The site for the proposed LSWW is a 7.2-hectare plot of land along the newly constructed Western Road Link off the Seletar Expressway. A new Raw Water Pumping Station (RWPS) is to be constructed adjacent to an existing RWPS at Lower Seletar Reservoir.
The LSWW waterworks project is scheduled to be completed by April 2013.
Sembawang has completed several past projects for PUB including contracts for Changi Water Reclamation Plant, one of the world's biggest wastewater complex, in 2008 and 2007; Jurong Sewage Treatment Works (Civil Works with M&E - Phase 3) in 2004; NEWater Service Reservoir at Tampines in 2004 and Chestnut Avenue Water Treatment Works in 2003.
