MRT 3 a boon for contractors

“The tender will be separated into five main packages, including two turnkey contractors for elevated works, one turnkey for underground works, one for integrated systems and a project management consultant to work alongside MRT Corp as the project developer,” Wee told reporters at a briefing on MRT 3.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Mass Rapid Transit Line 3 (MRT 3) Circle Line, which is estimated to cost between RM31bil and RM50bil, will be a boon for the construction sector that has been quiet for the past few years.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the contracts for the MRT 3 project will be dished out in quarter four this year and will see four turnkey contractors involved in the project.
