-- Gamuda (KLSE:GAMUDA) unit Upper Padas Power received a Letter of Acceptance worth 5.98 billion ringgit from the Sabah State Water Department for Phase 1 of the Skim Bekalan Air Ulu Padas.
The project forms a bolt-on development linked to the Ulu Padas Hydroelectric Project and is designed to strengthen water supply for Sabah's west coast, according to a Wednesday Malaysian bourse filing.
Phase 1 involves the construction of a 350 million litres per day water treatment plant in Beaufort, along with about 200km of pipelines stretching from Sipitang to Kota Kinabalu.
The project marks a key infrastructure expansion alongside its hydroelectric development in Sabah, Malaysia, the company said.
