KUALA LUMPUR: Pekat Group Bhd
has secured three subcontracts worth a combined RM57.18mil for earthing and lightning protection works for a hyperscale data centre project in Johor Bahru, Johor.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Pekat said its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Pekat E & LP Sdn Bhd (PELP), had executed the three subcontract agreements with a Malaysian contractor.
The contractor is principally involved in engineering, construction services and investment holding. Pekat said it was unable to disclose the contractor's identity due to confidentiality obligations.
The first subcontract, valued at RM27.21mil, involves the supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of an earthing and lightning protection system.
The works commenced on July 6, 2026 and are expected to be completed by September 2027.
The second subcontract, worth RM4.64mil, covers the supply and installation of an earthing and lightning protection system for a substation. The works commenced on March 24, 2026 and are expected to be completed by February 2027.
The third subcontract, valued at RM25.33mil, involves the design, supply, installation and testing of earthing and lightning protection services, including associated civil works. The works commenced on Jan 30, 2026 and are expected to be completed by February 2027.
In a statement, chief executive officer Tai Yee Chee said the latest contract wins would further strengthen the group’s position in the earthing and lightning protection segment.
He said the three subcontracts, with a combined value of RM57.18mil, represented a meaningful addition to the group’s project pipeline and reinforced its capabilities in delivering specialised earthing and lightning protection solutions.
“In particular, the RM25.33mil subcontract involves the design, supply, installation and testing of the earthing and lightning protection systems, together with the associated civil works. This is a good opportunity for us to demonstrate our technical capabilities and execution strength on a larger-scale package.
“We will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to project execution while pursuing opportunities that complement our core capabilities and support the group’s long-term growth,” Tai said.
