ST Engineering says wholly-owned subsidiary ST Synthesis has been awarded a three-year contract worth about $6.5 million by the National Environment Agency (NEA).

The contract, which will start on March 1, entails the provision of management, operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical equipment for the Tuas Marine Transfer Station and Semakau Landfill.

The mechanical and electrical equipment includes diesel engine generators, transformers and switchgears, electrical distribution system, mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning systems as well as lightning protection system, earthing system and fire alarm, and detection and protection systems.

Under the deal, ST Synthesis will also provide facilities management services for both the Tuas Marine Transfer Station and Semakau Landfill.

Semakau Landfill is an offshore landfill located 8 km off the southern coast of Singapore. Being Singapore’s only landfill, the Semakau Landfill is part of the nation’s sustainable solid waste management system. It has been designed and managed to ensure a pleasant environment where the island’s natural habitats and rich biodiversity are preserved.

Tuas Marine Transfer Station serves as the collection point for ash from waste-to-energy plants and non-incinerable waste before these are transported to Semakau Landfill.
