AWC wins 36-month rail upgrade job for Ampang Line

SUBANG JAYA: Main market-listed leading engineering services group, AWC Bhd, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trackwork & Supplies Sdn Bhd, signed and accepted a letter of acceptance (LoA) issued by Prasarana Malaysia Bhd for the replacement of aluminium composite power conductor rails for the Ampang Line rail track.

The contract involves the replacement of the existing aluminium composite power
conductor rails and all associated supply, installation, testing and commissioning requirements in accordance with Prasarana’s technical specifications.

The contract period is 36 months from the commencement date.

Group CEO and president Datuk Ahmad Kabeer Mohamed Nagoor said this win underscores the rail division’s proven project delivery and strong expertise, supported by more than 25 years of experience in the sector with involvement in most of the major rail projects in Malaysia.

“For us at AWC, securing this contract is undoubtedly good news as it strengthens
our order book and provides clear earnings visibility while demonstrating that our key divisions continue to build solid momentum in securing new jobs.

“Our total contract wins in FY26 now stand at around RM330 million. More importantly, we want to continue contributing to the government’s agenda to enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of public transportation, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in nation-building,” he said in a statement.

As of the end of September 2025, AWC’s order book stands at RM528 million.

This excludes five contracts secured after the close of the quarter under review
amounting to around RM318 million.

To recap, AWC’s rail division provides railway construction and maintenance
solutions. It supplies and maintains track construction machinery, including
tamping machines, ballast regulators, ballast cleaning machines, ballast hopper
wagons, flatbed wagons, track trolleys, and locomotives.

The rail division also undertakes specialised track works, including thermit welding and preassembly of turnouts.

It is a registered supplier with the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB), with more than 25 years of track record and involvement in most major rail projects in Malaysia.
