Yongnam Holdings, the structural steel contractor and specialist engineering solutions provider, has won its ninth contract for the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.

With the addition of the new contract valued at $38.7 million, Yongnam says it has clinched a total of over $340 million worth of contracts for the iconic development.

Under the terms of this latest contract, Yongnam will supply and construct structural steelworks required to support the roof and façade of the North Crystal and South Crystal Pavilions. Both Pavilions are located in the waters of the Marina Bay Reservoirs, at about 25 metres away from the shorelines of the Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza.

In addition, Yongnam will also be responsible for the double glazing system, aluminium louvre system and reinforced concrete works for all floors above the first level, as well as the finishing works for all levels for both Pavilions.

Since November 2007, the group has been winning contracts for Marina Bay Sands.

Currently, the group is working on contracts for the SkyPark, South Podium, the Museum, Casino and Theatre Podium, the corridor bridges and canopies at the North View, South View, Bay Front, retail works and the arch beam structure at the East End of the North View Corridor, as well as the Lion Garden Bridge and a cooling tower structure.

All six contracts are to be completed on schedule.

The contract is expected to have a positive impact on the group’s financial performance for the financial year ending December 31, 2009.
