MRCB hopes to secure RM800mil incinerator job
Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) is hopeful of securing the waste-to-energy incinerator project, which is estimated to cost up to RM800mil, in Taman Beringin, Kepong here.
“We managed to pass the pre-qualification stage and are preparing the final submissions. (Only) now are we going into the full tender. After that you get short-listed,” said MRCB group chief operating officer Imran Salim (pic).
“We’re hopeful of winning the job,” he said.
Separately, Imran said MRCB’s current construction orderbook stood at between RM3bil and RM5bil that consisted of between 12 and 15 ongoing projects.
“We’re tendering for multiple projects from the Government and private sectors. We’re looking at a minimum of 10 tenders per month. We’re targeting anything above RM100mil,” he said.
Last month, the company secured a contract worth RM197.4mil from Johor Land Bhd for the construction of JLand Tower at Komtar JBCC in Johor Baru.
Imran said physical construction of the transport terminal in the Penang Sentral project had already begun.
“We’re targeting to launch in January,” he said.
The RM230mil terminal forms the first phase of the RM2.3bil integrated Penang Sentral project in Butterworth and is targeted for completion by the end of 2017.
Imran was speaking to reporters at a ground-breaking ceremony to kick off the construction of an overhead bridge from from the Old Klang Road to the New Pantai Expressway here. The event was launched by Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

The construction of the bridge will cost RM115mil and is estimated to take about 24 months to build.
The bridge, which is being built to help ease traffic congestion, is part of MRCB’s 9 Seputeh project situated on 7.04ha along the third mile of Old Klang Road. With a gross development value of RM2.6bil, the development will be undertaken by Gapurna Land Sdn Bhd (a member of the MRCB group).
The project will comprise signature retail and commercial components, residential units and small office home office suites. Imran said construction of the first phase should be completed by 2017.
