Ahmad Zaki wins RM225mil campus job

PETALING JAYA: Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd (AZRB) has secured a RM225.1mil contract from the Public Works Department (PWD) for the development of the Besut campus of Universiti Darul Iman.

The project, which is expected to commence on Aug 24 and be completed by Aug 21, 2011, will contribute positively to AZRB’s financial performance in the next two years, the company said in a stock exchange filing.

This latest award is the second that the contractor has bagged this month.

Last week, it was awarded a RM106mil project from the PWD to build an elevated junction from Istana Negara to Jalan Duta in Kuala Lumpur.

In May, it won a RM185mil contract from Saudi Oger Ltd of Saudi Arabia to build reinforced concrete structures for Tower H1-A of the Jabal Omar Development in Mecca.
