Milestones

Sembawang Engineers and Constructors (Sembawang) was established in 1982 to undertake various key national development projects by the Singapore government.

Sembawang’s history weaves like a tapestry through that of Singapore and our footprints can be found in every aspect of the development of Singapore. From the construction of Changi International Airport to the road networks, the Mass Rapit Transit Systems (MRTs), the Light Rail Transit Systems (LRTs), the Deep Tunnel Sewage System (DTSS), the Underground Storage Caverns, iconic buildings, leisure and industrial developments, Sembawang has planned, managed and constructed them all. Today, it has grown to become one of the largest Engineering and Construction contractor in Southeast Asia.

In May 2006, Sembawang, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, was acquired by Punj Lloyd, a leading engineering, procurement, construction specialist. This acquisition enhanced the Group’s portfolio and today it comprises Punj Lloyd, headquartered in India, Sembawang in Singapore and Simon Carves in UK. Punj Lloyd is listed on the National and Bombay Stock Exchange.

Sembawang operates a fully integrated, multi-discipline design organization with a complete range of engineering skills. Services range from feasibility studies, through front-end design, to complete detailed design and procurement. In addition, we also offer services ranging from preliminary scheduling and assistance in meeting public agency requirements, to construction and site development. In short, Sembawang is able to take customer’s projects from conception to completion.

Today, Sembawang’s strategy is to focus on and further develop its core competencies in the Buildings, Utilities and Infrastructure sectors. With over 25 years of professional experience, staff strength of over 3000, and support from Punj Lloyd Group, Sembawang is capable of undertaking jobs of all sizes and complexities.

With its comprehensive track records and resources, Sembawang is well-positioned to serve the high-growth markets of Asia Pacific, Middle East, South Asia & The United Kingdom.
