Swee Hong recovers from loss with $30.2m profit

Ongoing projects lifted the revenue up by 44%.

Engineering firm Swee Hong recovered from a $10.2m loss after it posted profits of $30.2m for 2017.

According to a press release, revenue also increased 44% to $58.9m thanks to progress in its ongoing projects.

Revenue from its Civil Engineering segment rose from $39.6m to $50.8m on YoY basis.

Its ER382 Project, a construction of new road between MacRitchie Viaduct and Adam Flyover, mainly boosted the revenue.

Revenue from Tunnelling segment also increased by from $1.1m to $8m, mainly due to an increase in the progress of the Nee Soon tunneling project.

Currently, Swee Hong has an order book position of $49.7m.

Swee Hong executive director Anil Agrawal said, “We are pleased with the progress and will continue to strive to further improve the operational and financial health of the Group by increasing the capabilities to capitalize on new opportunities in infrastructure development.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
