BINTULU: Naim Land Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naim Holdings Bhd, one of Malaysias leading developers and contractors, signed a contract with Sinohydro Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd, for the Chinese company to do sub-structure works for Bintulu Paragons Phase 1A here yesterday.

Sinohydro Corporation is a Chinese state-owned hydropower, engineering and construction company.

Bintulu Paragon, the largest integrated development to impact Bintulu, will integrate residential, business, retail and hospitality components.

Upon completion, it will provide 1.4 million square feet of retail space, Small Office Versatile Office (SOVO) and office suites, condominium towers, corporate office towers and two hotels.

In a press statement, Naims deputy managing director Christina Wong explained that the sub-structure works were those in relation to Bintulu Paragons Street Mall, Small Office Versatile Office (SOVO) and hotel development components, which were within the Phase 1A section of the development.

Since the launch of Street Mall and SOVO units, we have received encouraging response from the Bintulu community, recording average take-up of more than 50 per cent. Initial piling works for these components are progressing on track, she said.

Wong further elaborated that under the contract with Sinohydro, the scope of works involved construction of the lower ground RC podium structure comprising pilecaps, upper ground slab, pipe sleeves, openings, pits and earthing works.

All works are expected to take around seven months to complete, she said.

She also added that Naims collaboration with Sinohydro demonstrated Naims commitment in maintaining its standing as a developer and contractor of quality.

We have previously collaborated with Sinohydro for three projects, namely the Bengoh Dam in Padawan, the 275KV Overhead Transmission Line from Bakun Hydroelectric Dam to Samalaju Industrial Zone in Bintulu and the construction of Sibu-Julau road.
