Bakun Hydroelectric Power Plant Project

A big bug
Overall Bakun Site
Azommi (surveyor) and me at Control point
Powerhouse under construction
Here are some pictures taken at the site while I'm fooling around with those working contractor guys. They are helpful since as long as I'm working with the consortium... Hehe.. Had a great experience watching how do workers work especially seeing how the China's Chinese contractors working around inside the construction area with harsh environment, working at heights without wearing harnesses, walking through narrow wood going inside and how efficient they worked without overtime (I think so..)

Its quite hard to live here if you don't have any transportation. The canteen at my residential area is not yet under operation, well they (the sub-contractor) said it will started by the end of this month (Aug) and some said at the mid of next month. Arrggg... Now, we have to drive down the off-road hill (not very nice to travel), 10 minutes to reach the Bakun Resort which they has a restaurant for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. And have to travel back up hill with a full stomach with sausages, rice, eggs and orange juice. You can imagine how they managed the restaurant if they monopolized the food there. The beef burger with cheese, fish-and-chips only things that I "qualified" to eat. Managed by the client (Sarawak Hidro Sdn Bhd) which sub-con to Malaysia China Hydro Joint Venture Bhd. Hmm... I'm doubtful how the cook.. As for myself, I've made an enquiry online to the Federal Islamic Department about their HALAL status of those restaurant. Other hawkers? Well, its looked doubtful too... Well, Azommi, the surveyor guy, together with his wife, also working with the same company, took an alternative to cook inside the room. What a happy couple they are!

I met Mubasher, a Muslim Indian representing Alstom draft tube supervisor, who is now working alone, currently one-man project at the site. Very friendly guy and hyper. Always smiles. His story was, he missed his marriage after the company sent him here. Pitty him. I remembered he told that he have been here for more than a year now. Well, he looks happy. No comment about that. Hmmm.. what about me? Less than a month... Huhuhuuu..

I missed all my friends wedding, An, Russdy and Farid Bala (had an accident here). Sorry about that guys.

Hey... If you guyz can help us or give some ideas to put up a "Real Peninsular Flavor" hawkers here? Its about 3 to 4 hours driving by 4x4 from Bintulu town. Its better if you have to travel at one shot. Well, hehe. Make sure your vehicle comsume diesel where its cheap here. Still alot of land spaces here to put up your stalls.


OK... i think thats all for now.. It will be continue... Insya Allah

Salam..En. Ahmad, need to know, the environmental there, its it ok to live there, means working for 2 or 3 years there, cause i'm just sign the contract with Mecomb berhad, as PM post, and will be sign on duty at site, maybe on this 20th of May 2008, togerther with my QA/Qc engineer. Thanks for your future info. . and thank again for your fotopage. help me a lot. Sat 26-Apr-2008 15:15

Previously, I've been working with IMPSA, hydro-turbine supplier for the Turbine Pit No.1,2,3 & 4. I've stayed they for full 3 months, including a month of Ramadhan. Its depends on your company's policies of how affordable they can give. For instead, my company build a semi-permanent residential area for the staffs and contractors. It OK and I can considered it luxurious.

For the foods, for Muslim brothers, beware because some are the locals stalls/restaurants served foods with contaminated non-halal foods. Better ask first.

The nearest town (I meant have banks, cinema, others) is 3 hours driving, is Bintulu town.

However, the nearest, I say/feel it established village is Kampung Sungai Asap.

Hope that this info will help.

Cheers!
