The Company was appointed the LRT3 Project Delivery Partner in 2015 and awarded the MRT SSP-SY-204 Work Package in August 2016. Through these projects, the Group has built a formidable multi-disciplined management team of local and foreign experts, which gives George Kent the expertise and skills to undertake similar technology critical projects locally and regionally.
