FROMTHEDESKOFGROUPMD

2013 is not merely a new year, but more importantly, a new chapter for all of us.

I see 2013 as a year of new ventures, new challenges, stronger team spirit and new victories. In short, 2013 is about CHARTING NEW FRONTIERS.

Q1 was indeed an exciting time. We launched our iconic Bintulu Paragon integrated development, the largest integrated development ever undertaken by our group. This landmark development sets a benchmark not only for Bintulu, but also for Sarawak, as it will introduce new development concepts to this part of the world. The launch was a resounding success and we have not looked back since. Those involved have worked very hard to make things happen – once again, we have proven that we are able to rise to the challenges and win.

In pursuant of our triple bottom line, we have also intensified our corporate sustainability programmes. For Q1, our efforts were aligned to areas such as sports and community, all of which aimed to contribute towards nation building, whilst making a positive impact to target beneficiaries within the community. Our heartiest congratulations to Nerosha

Keligit, a Naim sponsored athlete who has made Sarawak proud with her achievements in bowling.

In this edition of ‘Insight’, we have also featured how a local Iban boy climbed up the corporate ladder and made his mark in a highly specialised area of construction of dams. We are very proud of our homegrown dam specialist, Jeffery Dickson Sandom, Naim’s Project Manager and we look forward to many such success stories in time to come.

BELIEVE WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART THAT YOU CAN DO IT, AND DO IT WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.

Go Team Naim!

Q: Can you tell us about yourself?

Jeffery: I’m an Iban from Sg. Mujok, Julau. I went to SRK Ng. Maong Julau for my primary school and later went to Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Hj Bujang, Miri. I graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from University of Malaya in 1997.

Upon completion of my studies, I worked as a Site Engineer in Klang and was involved in high rise condominium construction.

In 2003 to 2005, I worked as a Project Manager for 46km coastal road projects from Pusa to Sesang in Seratok. I was also involved in drainage and irrigation, schools, residential, police facilities and marine base projects in Sarawak.

I joined Naim as a Construction Manager for the Bengoh Dam project in 2007 and was promoted to Project Manager in 2012.

Q: Can you share with us your experiences in undertaking the project?

Jeffery: There are few ways to achieve the projects’ goals but most importantly is the ability to plan ahead and identify the risk that may affect your implementation. The ability to adjust to the changes throughout any project period is equally important plus, of course the teamwork.

Q: Before, we only heard that most big projects of this nature would be led by foreigners. But now a local person has been given the chance to do it. So can you tell us whether the challenge would spur you to be more confident in doing bigger jobs in the future?

Jeffery: In my early working days, I never dreamt that one day, I would be involved in building a dam. Even during my study years, I never thought seriously about doing any dam construction. As such, I’m very fortunate to work for Naim for the Bengoh Dam construction. Although I have little knowledge of dam construction at that time, my willingness to learn and the support from my superiors and colleagues have made me strive to ensure the success of the Bengoh Dam construction.

Given the chance to lead this project was an honour for me. I must thank also all the parties involved such as our client JKR Sarawak, our consultant, KTA Sarawak Sdn. Bhd, all sub-contractors especially Sino-hydro Corporation Malaysia Sdn. Bhd, the suppliers, the government agencies, the local people and last but not least the dedicated NAIM team.

Now, having the experience and knowledge of this vast and complicated project, I’m confident and ready to undertake any similar projects in future.

THE BENGOH DAMSUCCESS STORY

The Bengoh Dam project is actually a success story of a Sarawakian who has been able to take the task of developing a specialised project

that would normally be given to foreigners to take the lead.

An Interview with Jeffery Dickson Sandom

However, with the Bengoh Dam project, a local engineer, Jeffery Dickson Sandom, an Iban from Julau has carved a name for himself in this project that will benefit Sarawakians residing in Kuching and Kota Samarahan in the years to come.

The following are excerpts of the interview with Jeffery.

There are few ways to achieve the projects’ goals but most importantly is the ability to plan ahead and identify the risk that may affect your implementation. The ability to adjust to the changes throughout any project period is equally important plus, of course the teamwork. ”

FEATURES

Generally, to complete projects on time, it should start with sound planning and the plan must be strictly followed. We must also be able to anticipate any risk throughout the construction cycle. The dedication, positive attitude and teamwork are also important. We must be able to adapt to any changes if required and also to adopt new technology and approaches. Q: What about the quality of work of the dam, say for instance how long will it last and its safety aspects and features, etc?

Jeffery: The Bengoh Dam is a Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) gravity dam with a height of 63 metre. It is the first of its kind in Sarawak and second in Malaysia after Kinta Dam in Perak to use this technology.

In other words, although RCC is not a new method for dam construction, it was new in our country. The third dam in Malaysia to use this method was the Murum HEP Dam. We were very fortunate that our specialist dam sub-contractor, Sino-hydro Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd from China, was one of the leading RCC dam constractors in the world.

They were involved in the RCC dam construction around the world. Working together with them was very tough especially the language barrier, but our team manage to put our efforts together and successfully completed the task.

Works in relation to the dam’s foundation excavation, foundation grouting, river diversion, dam body to the completion were smoothly carried out. The construction the team worked 24 hours almost throughout the project.

The dam was built to design specifications. All aspects relating to the design, safety, construction and post-construction were monitored closely.

Our consultant, KTA Sarawak Sdn. Bhd. (with collaboration with Halcrow from UK) had a full team on site to ensure that quality was met with the specs. Beside that, the client, JKR Sarawak appointed their own peer review consultant led by a dam specialist from the UK to audit the construction on regular basis. Based on this peer review comments, our dam QAQC was amongst the best in the dam construction so far.

As for the dam safety, monitoring equipment has been installed in the dam body to monitor the dam safety.

Amongst the instruments were vertical pendulum, seepage weir, piezometers, survey station, crack meters, thermometers etc. Besides that, the SCADA system will be installed to synchronize the operation with Batu Kitang Water Treatment Plant.

When the dam is operational, it will be operated by trained personnel and dam safety audit and inspections will be carried in regular basis. An Emergency Response Plan has been designed and will be implemented where required.

Dam safety-related issues have been taken into consideration seriously and carefully.

Q: Is the dam purely for water catchment area or could it be tapped for electricity?

Jeffery: The dam is designed for water catchment for Kuching and its surrounding areas, but there are studies that had been carried out on the power generation from this dam. It can produce about 4.5 MW of electricity and this can still be incorporated into the dam.

Q: Any words of advice to readers?

Jeffery: Never be afraid to learn new things and never be afraid to fail. You must believe that you can do it, and do it to the best you can. Success comes to those who dare to believe and persevere.
