PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd has marked a significant milestone in its international portfolio, securing its tenth infrastructure project in Taiwan.
The group bagged the Kaohsiung Metropolitan Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Xiaogang-Linyuan Line civil works and electromechanical facilities project, valued at RM3.3 billion (NT$26.39 billion).
The project was awarded by the Taiwan Kaohsiung City Government Mass Rapid Transit Bureau, an MRT division established under the Taiwan Kaohsiung City Government.
This latest win solidifies Gamuda’s prominent role in Kaohsiung’s rail transformation, building on the group’s ongoing delivery of the Kaohsiung MRT Yellow Line Package YC01 and its foundational success with the city’s MRT Orange Line Package C04.
The new project was awarded to an unincorporated joint venture between Gamuda, which holds a 70% stake, and Taiwanese-based Shang Ting, which holds a 30% stake.
With its majority stake, Gamuda’s share of the contract value is RM2.31 billion (NT$18.47 billion).
The project has a duration of seven years and four months.
As the main contractor, the joint venture’s scope of works includes three underground stations, one elevated station, 3.88km of underground twin-bound railway track, and six units of cross passages.
Coming less than a year after the group secured its ninth contract, the Kaohsiung Port Intercontinental LNG Terminal – wharf and connecting roads (bridges), this milestone highlights a period of rapid momentum and a deepening footprint within the Taiwanese market.
Since entering the Taiwanese market in 2002, Gamuda has evolved into a trusted partner for the nation’s infrastructure development.
This tenth win reinforces the group’s expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary infrastructure, ranging from railway systems to large-scale marine works.
The group’s portfolio in Taiwan also includes projects such as the Xizhi Donghu MRT and the Taoyuan City Underground Railway.
Beyond rail, Gamuda has Guantang Marine Bridge, Seawall-Taipei Port and the 345kV Gangfeng-Zhongke, Zhongke-Hengshan Underground Transmission Line (Third Section).
Gamuda’s partner in this joint venture for Xiaogang–Linyuan Line, Shang Ting, is a reputable Taiwanese private limited company with a paid-up capital of NT$3 billion (RM380 million).
