The design for lowering the water and sewer rising mains falls under the scope of our design consultant. They are currently in the process of engaging with EGW and completing the necessary designs. The finalised design will be provided before the contract award date.

At this stage, we expect the tenderers to include the construction cost for lowering the water and sewer rising mains in their proposals, along with the necessary liaison and approvals from relevant authorities.
