Gamuda JV Bags a Whopping RM3.05 Billion Contract for the Ulu Padas Dam!

Hold onto your hats, folks, because Gamuda's got a big one! They've just landed a massive RM3.05 billion contract to build the Ulu Padas Dam in Sabah. This joint venture with the local construction company, WCT Holdings Bhd, is a huge win for both companies, and a major step towards Sabah's energy independence.

Let's break it down: The Ulu Padas Dam is a key component of the Sabah Water Department's (SWD) Kadamaian Water Supply Project. This project is designed to solve Sabah's chronic water shortage by diversifying water resources and boosting water supply capacity.

Here's the deal: Gamuda and WCT will be responsible for the design, construction, and commissioning of the whole darn thing! That includes the dam itself, hydropower plant, intake structure, tunnel, and penstocks. It's a massive undertaking that will be completed in 42 months.

This is a big deal for a couple of reasons:

• It's a vote of confidence in Sabah's future: This project will provide reliable water supply to a large population in Sabah, and it's a major investment in the state's infrastructure.
• Gamuda's back in the game! After a few quiet years, this massive contract is a huge win for Gamuda, demonstrating their continued expertise in major infrastructure projects.

Looking ahead, the Ulu Padas Dam will play a crucial role in securing Sabah's water future and promoting sustainable economic growth. The joint venture between Gamuda and WCT will surely deliver a world-class project that benefits Sabah for years to come.

And who knows? Maybe this project will be the catalyst for even more investment in Sabah's water infrastructure. The future looks bright!
