PETALING JAYA: Prinsiptek Corp Bhd is partnering with QSE Construction Sdn Bhd to develop the Langat 2 water treatment plant and water reticulation system in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Prinsiptek told Bursa Malaysia that its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Esa Pile Sdn Bhd had on Sep 19 entered into a joint venture agreement (JVA) with QSE Construction for the project, which was awarded by Pengurusan Aset Air Bhd in a letter of award dated June 25, 2019.
