In June 2011, SYS was engaged by Vale Malaysia Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Vale SA, the world’s largest iron exporter, to construct a Material Handling Quay (MHQ) at Teluk Rubiah, Lumut, Perak. This RM 37.7 million project, plays a pivotal role in Vale’s maritime terminal in Malaysia, supporting large-scale iron exports. The quay was designed to accommodate 250-ton cranes and included the construction of essential facilities such as access trestles, finger piers, and a Ro-Ro ramp, facilitating the efficient handling of large vessels and cargo.

The project featured extensive marine structures, including two large quays, finger piers, and a small craft landing platform for crew vessels. Major works involved the installation of steel and concrete spun piles, the use of precast and in-situ concrete, and reinforcing steel to ensure the quay’s long-term durability.
