Systra and Meinhardt have won two reference design consultant (RDC) contracts for MyHSR's Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

The deals represent the start of an engineering collaboration initiative between the two companies, and will see them provide multiple services for the HSR project.

Systra CEO Pierre Verzat said: “We are proud to have been awarded these contracts. This is a very prestigious project that all the world’s major engineering companies want to work on and we are honoured to have been selected.

“Together with our partners, we look forward to working with MyHSR Corporation to deliver this transformational project.”

The first contract is named RDC01 and comprises civil reference design works for the two international stations within Malaysia, namely Bandar Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur and Iskandar Puteri.

"This win gives a major impetus to our collaboration with Systra to leverage our complementary skill sets, capabilities and local presence across the transportation sector."

The second contract is known as RDC03 and will involve works such as the civil reference design for the first 38km from Bandar Malaysia Station to the state border between Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.
