China Firm Wins Resorts World Steel Deal

Source : Weekend TODAY, September 29, 2007

China Jingye Construction Engineering Contract Company was yesterday awarded a $60-million contract to supply, fabricate and deliver structural steel to Resorts World at Sentosa.

The contract covers the supply of 23,000 tonnes of structural steel, with the first batch to be delivered in February next year.

The rest of the steel is to be delivered over the next 18 months.

The resort, slated to open in 2010, will use the steel to construct its hotels and attractions, including Universal Studios Singapore.

Mr Michael Chin, senior director of projects, said: “Although price was a criterion in awarding the contract, China Jingye’s ability to handle the size of this project and its commitment sealed the deal.” — ESTHER FUNG
