Our Expertise
From holistic and sustainable townships to innovative public infrastructure solutions, our expertise grows along with the needs of the industry.
Explore one of our three competency pillars below.
Building stakeholder trust is paramount to us in the countries where we operate. Our project advocacy and stakeholder engagements are crucial to getting buy-in and delivering our projects successfully and on time. Gamuda has the expertise to navigate unique challenges in delivering large-scale mega constructions in densely populated urban areas to harsh marine environments.
We take the lead in community and residential progress awareness, business and commercial partnerships, media relations, regional localisation, educational and career outreach, safety programmes, environmental and ecological rehabilitation, urban and infrastructure co-development, and socio-economic initiatives. Through these efforts, we create jobs, support local supply chains, solve urban problems and improve the quality of life for millions.
Stakeholder management was crucial to the successful planning and rollout of our MRT Kajang and Putrajaya Lines.
We navigated unique challenges during the rollout of the Pavilion KL-Bukit Bintang Station, Jalan Ipoh Station and HKL Station. This included devising a solution where properties would not be acquired via a Judicial Review, ensuring the continuity of local businesses and utility services. The busiest cross-junction in KL remained open throughout, while effective traffic dispersion ensured that main roads to the City Centre remained open and key areas routes (including Jalan Ipoh Secondary Girls’ School, Kuala Lumpur Hospital and Istana Budaya) were accessible. Additionally, the once-a-year Thaipusam chariot procession took place without hindrance.
Our international projects are a testament to the Group’s focus on generating multiplier value for the communities in which we operate. In Western Sydney, we have created more than 80,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as built solid partnerships with local businesses and stakeholders.
We have made significant investments in engaging recognised Aboriginal businesses and subcontractors, engaging over 100 Australian and New Zealand SMEs in the project supply chain. We are proud to have directly engaged 20 Aboriginal businesses on the project, while Aboriginal peoples make up 3.9 percent of our Australian workforce for this project (as at September 2023).
From June 2022 to September 2023, we undertook approximately 300,000 stakeholder engagements:
MRT Kajang Line
Connected with 9,000 stakeholders
720 engagement sessions
recieved 3,000 enquiries

MRT Putrajaya Line
Over five years,

with nearlly across 860

The key to our regional stakeholder engagements is localisation. We prioritise local hiring and local suppliers, which enables us to form close collaboration with the local authorities, media, businesses, NGOs, and public. Our engagements have evolved beyond communication to include education and upskilling programmes that uplift the supply chain and industries, with an emphasis on the human touch and building rapport on the ground. These proactive efforts drive socio-economic benefits to stakeholders as well as the wider communities.
