SINGAPORE: China Jingye Engineering Corporation Ltd (Singapore branch) has been chosen to build the Universal Studios Singapore theme park in Singapore by Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS).
The project is worth S$705 million to China Jingye, a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of China's biggest construction conglomerates, the Metallurgical Corporation of China(MCC) Group.
The Universal Studios Singapore is part of the attractions at the S$6 billion RWS development.
RWS, in a statement said, China Jingye would undertake the general building works of the theme park. This includes structural buildings, facades, walkways and an amphitheatre.
