KUALA LUMPUR: Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Bhd’s (KPS) subsidiary, SmartPipe Technology Sdn Bhd (SPT), has secured a RM20 million contract from Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) to replace existing pipeworks in Hulu Langat and Kuala Lumpur.
In a statement today, KPS said the key scope includes supplying and installing mild steel (MS) pipes, ductile iron (DI) pipes and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe fixtures.
It said the contract, to be completed within 15 months from its commencement date of July 9, 2018, is expected to contribute positively to the KPS group for the financial years ending Dec 31, 2018 and 2019.
KPS Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Fariz Hassan said this contract reinforces the Selangor state government’s commitment to reducing its non-revenue water rates and attaining better water management in order to safeguard Selangorians’ well-being.
“In comparison to the traditional asbestos cement pipes, the right use of MS, DI and HDPE pipes in the right locations would highly reduce the potential occurrence of water leakages while being cost-effective at the same time,” he said.
SPT is an engineering company offering integrated solutions to water and other utility companies for the maintenance of their pipeline assets.
