North Butterworth Container Terminal
The North Butterworth Container Terminal was a civil project pioneered by Gamuda Berhad in the early 1990s. Working with the Penang Port Commission, we constructed the container wharf and approach bridge, as well as container years, buildings and utilities – effectively raising the productivity and robustness of Penang Port, now a prime shipping port in Peninsular Malaysia.
In 2019, Gamuda-Dong Pi Joint Venture (JV) was awarded the construction contract worth RM521.71 million for the 1.23km-long Marine Bridge at Guantang, which was in 2022 extended by 376m with an additional sum of RM301.5 million, making it a total length of 1.61km.
The construction of the 1.23km marine bridge connecting a receiving terminal to a man-made island and a 284m long road embankment includes soil investigation, a foundation, a temporary bridge, and a working platform with environmental protection works was completed in 2022, while the extension was completed in 2024.
We engaged local specialists who collaborate with us, promoting knowledge, technology, methodology and value-added exchange, especially factoring natural disasters endemic to Taiwan, such as earthquakes and typhoons, into design and construction consideration.
In 2022, Gamuda received the Excellent Honour in Construction Golden Safety Award for the Guantang Marine Bridge in Taoyuan, making us the first Malaysian company to win this prestigious award from Taiwan's Ministry of Labour. We also made history as the first Malaysian company to win the prestigious Excellent Honour in Public Construction Quality Award in 2024. Awarded by the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs, this prestigious recognition reflects our dedication to excellence in construction and unwavering commitment to quality, safety and timely completion.
