MUMBAI: Sembawang Engineers & Constructors, a subsidiary of Punj Lloyd Group, has bagged a contract valued at Singapore $400 million from Marina Bay Sands, to construct the North Podium of Marina Bay Sands integrated resort comprising the casino, theatres and retail arcade in Singapore. The project commences this month and will be completed by April 2009.

The project is to build the substructure and superstructure of this mega resort which will have four upper levels and a four-storey basement. Sembawang is well placed to handle this project as it is also constructing the new downtown line bay front MRT station in Marina Bay which will connect directly to the resort's meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions centre. With this, Punj Lloyd total order backlog has gone up to Rs 17,132 crore.
