KUCHING: Serba Dinamik International Ltd (SDIL) has secured a contract worth US$250.3 million (RM1.05 billion) for the construction of a chlorine processing plant and an independent power plant in Uzbekistan. In Malaysia, its sister company Serba Dinamik Sdn Bhd (SDSB) has won two operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts from Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd. These two contracts are based on a ‘call-out’ basis whereby the work orders will be awarded by the client. Both SDIL and SDSB are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd.

The Uzbekistan contract is
for the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) of a 90-ton per day chlorine processing plant at Hazarasp Free Economic Zone at the Khorezm Region and a 26MW per hour steam turbine independent power plant, Serba said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.

The contracts from Petronas Carigali is for the provision of maintenance services for a Weir gas compressor (duration from June 10, 2019 to June 9, 2020) and provision of maintenance of a Capstone microturbine generator (June 18, 2019 to June 17, 2022).
