KTA – Consulting Engineers – Jurutera Perunding – Sarawak Malaysia

Marine Engineering & Water Management

As one of the leading consulting engineer firms in the region, KTA (Sarawak) has been responsible for the planning, design and construction of various marine engineering and water management projects, some of which require very specialised skills. One example of this is the Sapangar Bay Naval Base in Sabah, with submarine docking and repair facilities. Another example will be the Samalaju Industrial deep sea port, successfully completed in 2016 which comprised long breakwaters, extensive dredging, 4 handymax berth, a bulk cargo conveyor handling system complete with onshore and offshore port facilities.

Water Resources & Management

We have worked with various authorities and agencies to provide clean potable water, treated waste water for safe release, discharge storm water in controlled manners, regulate river and tidal levels, as well as to harness hydroelectric power, i.e, renewable energy.

AERIAL VIEW OF THE SAMALAJU INDUSTRIAL PORT

This port with a total of 7 berths currently with a provision for another 7 or 8 more berths serves the Samalaju Industrial complex to the south. It is carved out of shallow waters with no natural protection from waves up to 4.5m from the South China Sea. Breakwaters formed from natural rocks and concrete tetrapods were designed and constructed to make it an allweather deep sea port.

SUNGAI SARAWAK REGULATION SCHEME

Sungai Sarawak regulation scheme, Kuching, with a barrage and lock, with an integrated bridge over them, are part of the Sarawak River Regulation scheme, which serves to regulate the river level, provide an important link across the opposite banks of Kuching, blocks saline intrusion to the water supply intake and reduces sediment deposits along Damai beach.
