Tuju Setia bags RM318m contract for new medical block at Gleneagles Hospital

CONSTRUCTION services company Tuju Setia Berhad has secured a RM317.6 million contract to design and build a new medical block (Block C) at Gleneagles Hospital in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

The letter of acceptance was awarded by Ampang 210 Sdn Bhd, it said in a statement today.

The new 19-storey medical block will be built on a 2.5-acre site adjacent to the annexed building (Block B) at the hospital complex.

It will feature 280-bed wards, an imaging department, a pharmacy, a maternity unit, a haemodialysis centre, specialist clinics, offices, a food court, retail spaces, and other specialised units and amenities.

Additionally, four stories of the medical block will be dedicated to aged care.

The group recently completed the Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin Women & Child Hospital in Kajang, Selangor, bringing the total year-to-date contract wins to RM775 million.

“This new win for our hospital and healthcare construction division is a testament to our track record in the delivery of hospital projects. The three-dimensional Building Information Modelling software will be utilised to enhance our capabilities in the design and implementation of this Design and Build project,” its MD Wee Eng Kong said.

The construction project will be carried out by Tuju Setia in collaboration with GPQ Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Terengganu Incorporated Sdn Bhd, which specialises in construction works, including hospital construction. — TMR
