Malaysian Sewer Project to Utilize Trenchless Technology
Hock Seng Lee Bhd (HSL), the contractor for the RM452mil Kuching city centralised wastewater management system package I project, has invested RM22mil in specialised equipment to reinforce its position to bid for future sewage projects in Sarawak, according to an article on the Star Online.
Corporate affairs manager Sonja Gan said the marine engineering specialist last year spent RM22mil to buy four advanced tunnel boring machines to carry out trenchless installation of an underground sewage pipe system for the state capital.
She said sewer lines deeper than 2.5m would be installed by these machines which would ensure minimal environmental destruction as no open-cut trenches had to be dug.
