    Downer EDI Limited (Downer EDI) today announced new contracts in Singapore to provide engineering consultancy services, including detailed studies, design and construction management, to a major
    environmental infrastructure project in Singapore, and the design and construction of a transmission cable tunnel.

    The total value of the projects to be undertaken is an estimated A$510 million (S$566 million).

    Downer EDI's recently acquired subsidiary, CPG Corporation (CPG), has
    been engaged to provide engineering consultancy services for the
    construction and commissioning of a major environmental project in
    Singapore, which has an estimated project cost of A$450 million
    (S$500 million).

    CPG's scope of works will include detailed engineering studies,
    design and construction management.

    In a parallel development, Downer EDI's engineering division has been
    awarded a contract by PowerGrid (a subsidiary of Singapore Power) for
    the design and construction of a 2.65km (5.4 metre internal diameter)
    transmission cable tunnel from Harbour Drive to the Labrador 400kV
    substation in Singapore.

    Valued at A$60 million (S$66 million), work on the project will
    commence in May 2003 and the tunnel is scheduled for completion by
    the end of July 2005.

    This project follows on from recent tunnelling work for power
    companies, including Energy Australia and Vector Energy (NZ).

    Commenting on the successes, Managing Director of Downer EDI, Mr
    Stephen Gillies, said the new contracts in Singapore were a welcome
    launch of the company's integrated services capabilities following
    the CPG acquisition.

    "As we consolidate our Singapore based operations, prospects for
    further growth in Singapore are very encouraging," Mr Gillies said.
