SINGAPORE: National water agency, PUB, has awarded a close to $6 million contract to a unit of locally listed firm, OKP Holdings, an infrastructure and civil engineering firm, to carry out desilting works for the two-kilometre Bukit Timah Phase II Diversion Canal.
The site is located around Whitley Road, across from Catholic Junior College.
OKP's wholly-owned subsidiary, Eng Lam Contractors will do excavation and dredging works on the canal as well as constructing additional access openings along the existing canal.
Since the start of this year, OKP has secured three other public sector projects worth some S$40 million.
As of May this year, the group's gross order book stood at about S$306 million.
This is based on secured contracts, with some projects completing in 2013.
Moving forward, the company says it wants to grow its presence in the oil and gas sector and explore overseas business opportunities.
