Brunei contract is its largest environmental engineering projects to date
Singapore, 14 July 2010 – ST Marine, the marine arm of ST Engineering, and its Brunei consortium partner QAF Limited today officially signed the S$66.5m contract to design and construct a modern Integrated Waste Management Facility in Brunei. The contract was announced by the Brunei Economic Development Board on 11 June 2010. Today’s signing ceremony was witnessed by Guest of Honour, YB Pehin Orang Kaya Indera Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Suyoi bin Haji Osman, Brunei’s Minister of Development, Singapore’s High Commissioner to Brunei, Mr Joseph Koh, and Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) CEO, Mr Andrew Tan. The ceremony signifies another milestone in collaboration between the two countries.
The project is the largest environmental infrastructure project to be secured to date by ST Marine’s environmental arm, STSE Engineering Services Pte Ltd (STSE), and it comprises an engineered landfill at Sungai Paku, a state-of-the-art waste transfer and logistics station plus three years of operations and maintenance of the Facility. STSE received some technical support and advice from NEA, which manages the Semakau Landfill and previous landfills in Singapore. The design and construction of the Facility is expected to commence in late 2010 and will take about 18 months to complete.
The engineered landfill at Sungai Paku, designated to serve as a permanent waste disposal site for Brunei, will be designed and constructed to the highest environmental standards of the USA Environmental Protection Agency. The landfill will be prepared using Heavy Duty Liners, a Leachate Treatment Facility, an Environmental Monitoring System, Gas Extraction, Harvesting and an Odour Control System. The waste transfer and logistics station in Bandar Seri Bengawan will be constructed opposite the current closed landfill site in Sungai Akar and will serve as a hub to consolidate, pack and transfer waste efficiently and productively using large containerised vehicles from the city to Sungai Paku treatment plant.
