With its state-of-the-art technologies, Sika is making a significant contribution to challenging infrastructure projects. In large-scale projects top technologies are essential to ensure that concrete shows the required performance and can be properly processed. The Ulu Jelai hydroelectric power plant in Malaysia is a major project that has been realized with Sika products.
The Ulu Jelai hydropower facility is situated in the Malaysian state of Pahang, some 200 km north of the capital Kuala Lumpur. With an investment volume of more than half a billion Swiss francs, the plant is an impressive feat of engineering: The project involved the construction of a 90-meter high dam, a tunnel system extending more than 25 kilometers, as well as various caverns, operating buildings and access roads. Thanks to the significant drop height of the water in the impoundment the plant boasts an impressive energy yield. The annual output of 326 GWh of electricity increases Malaysia’s share of renewable energies while at the same time reducing its annual emissions of CO2 by 250,000 tons.
