#throwback Educational Visit to Sibu Water Board
On 6th December 2024, Kolej Laila Taib organized an educational visit to the Sibu Water Board, providing a unique opportunity for students to gain firsthand knowledge of water treatment plant construction. The group comprised 30 students from the Civil Engineering and Quantity Surveying departments, accompanied by three dedicated lecturers. This initiative was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, aligning with the college’s commitment to producing industry-ready graduates.
The main contractor for the project is Perbena Emas Sdn Bhd. This project aims to upgrade the capacity of the Salim Water Treatment Plant from 150 million liters per day (MLD) to 300 MLD to meet the increasing water demand within the Sibu Water Board supply area until Year 2036. This enhancement will also increase the reserve margin of the water treatment plant to 30%, contributing to the Sarawak Water Supply Grid Programme for the central region.
Additionally, the project also brings numerous benefits, primarily by providing access to clean water, which will significantly enhance public health, foster environmental conservation, and support economic growth in the region. Furthermore, it is expected to cater to an estimated population of 350,000 people up to the year 2036, benefiting communities across Sibu District, Kanowit, Selangau, Maradong, and Rassau. This initiative underscores the importance of sustainable water management in driving both social and economic development.
