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.
