KKB Engineering Bhd is investing RM20mil in a new steel fabrication plant to double its annual capacity to 30,000 tonnes in the first half of next year.
The proposed plant at Muara Tebas near here would have direct access to Sungai Sarawak. The project will incorporate jetty facilities for efficient logistical deployment of fabricated steel structures and related products.
Existing steel fabrication activities at Bintawa Industrial Estate would be relocated to the new plant, which is geared to cope with rising demand and future requirements. The existing plant has a current utilisation rate of between 65% and 75%.
KKB secured recently its first major project in Score – the RM196mil Samalaju water supply scheme to bring raw and treated water from Bintulu town to the Samalaju Industrial Park. The project is expected to be completed next August.
The group had bid for several projects, including infrastructure work, worth between RM280mil and RM350mil in both Sabah and Sarawak. The tendered projects include those identified in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (Score). The results of these bids are expected in the second half of this year.
The remaining 30% contribution came from the manufacturing sector, including the production of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, steel pipes and related products. The group operates nine plants in Sabah and Sarawak.
