Civil engineering specialist Sarawak Consolidated Industries
Berhad (SCIB) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with PT. Semesta Noor Berkarya (SNB) and PT. Envy Manajemen
Konsultansi (EMK) to explore the formation of a partnership in
relation to the construction of 4G telecommunications towers for
Indonesia's outermost regions.
Under the MoU, SCIB will anchor the formation of the partnership as
well as providing the corporate management setup. SNB, a
state-owned enterprise of the Republic of Indonesia is an
engineering, procurement and construction specialist with expertise
in handing large-scale domestic projects, will build and install
the 4G telecommunications towers, including site survey and
acquisition as well as other supporting infrastructure works. EMK,
which is involved in business advisory, consultation, project
management and other corporate management activities, will provide
project management services through operational and technical
supervision.
The project, which comes under Indonesia's Telecommunications and
Information Accessibility Agency (Bakti), is expected to take three
years to complete and involves the construction and installation of
4G telecommunications towers in 3,704 villages. Bakti is an agency
under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology
tasked to provide the telecommunications network.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SCIB, Encik
Rosland bin Othman, said, "We look forward to working with SNB and
EMK on the project, which is part of the push to provide internet
accessibility to Indonesia's outermost, remote and underdeveloped
areas as part of the country's national digital transformation
framework."
"SCIB is at a distinct advantage for this project as more than 60%
of the proposed sites of the 4G telco towers are located in
Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo, which provides optimal
opportunities to synergise our business as our three factories are
located in Kuching, Sarawak. The project supports our strategy to
diversify geographically by seeking opportunities for our
engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC)
business, and we will certainly take this opportunity to also
explore roles in the building of Indonesia's multibillion-dollar
new capital at Nusantara."
SCIB leverages on its manufacturing business producing building
materials as well as Industrialised Building System (IBS) to
complement the EPCC business. The Company is the largest precast
and IBS manufacturer in East Malaysia with the capacity to produce
500,000 tonnes of building materials annually.
