WCT lands another LRT3 project worth RM640mil


Loud and Clear message against corruption. More than five million commuters a month on the Kelana Jaya-Putra Heights LRT Line will see the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission's 'Big or Small We Will Catch You' slogan painted on the LRT coach. The effort is in a collaboration between MACC and Prasarana Malaysia Berhad which saw two LRT coaches painted and decorated with anti-corruption slogans and posters. ROHAIZAT MD DARUS/STAR

KUALA LUMPUR: WCT Holdings Bhd, which earlier this year secured two work packages from Prasarana Malaysia Bhd worth RM1.03bil, won additional Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) works valued at RM640mil (excluding GST) on Wednesday.

It is one of three listed companies that announced on Thursday they have won contracts for construction works for LRT3, which stretches 37km from Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, to Johan Setia, Klang. The others are Sunway Construction Group Bhd and Gabungan AQRS Bhd.

WCT said the latest win by its unit WCT Bhd - Package GS02 - involved building a 2.9km guideway from Merchant Square to Suria Damansara with two stations.

The guideway adjoins the guideway being built under an earlier-clinched package (Package GS03) that continues from Suria Damansara to Temasya Glenmarie, stretching 2.8km long. Thus the total length under both packages is about 5.7km with four stations.

WCT said the works under the latest contract were expected to be completed within 35 months.
