Section 5 UEM Edgenta Berhad STRATEGIC BUSINESS 90 BUSINESS REVIEW Initiatives and Outcomes Throughout the year, the Infrastructure Services division undertook a series of transformative initiatives to drive operational excellence and strategic growth. These initiatives are detailed in the table below: Initiative Outcome Continuation of Growth Strategy for Existing Business Strengthened our presence in Peninsular Malaysia through the continuation of the Selangor State Road (Zone 2) concession and securing contracts in new state. We remain committed to expanding our business throughout East Malaysia and Indonesia. Acquisition of Advanced Pavement Machinery The acquisition has enhanced our project execution capabilities, allowing for more complex infrastructure projects to be completed with greater precision and efficiency. This has also contributed to extending the longevity of road surfaces, ensuring long-term value for stakeholders. Alignment to EoTF2025 Pillar Collaboration with PLUS (MyRSA) in 45 Locations The collaboration is aimed to foster a sense of ownership from the Management and Operations Teams. This includes monthly and planned visits by appointed leaders to Rest and Service Areas (“RSA”) and Mainline Layby. This initiative enhanced our capability to maintain desired service levels for customers comfort and safety. Development of Hot Premix Plant with a Recycling Facility The introduction of the Hot Premix Plant has markedly reduced the carbon footprint associated with road construction and maintenance. By recycling milling waste into RAP, the division has lowered its consumption of raw materials, demonstrating leadership in environmental stewardship. Implementation of Road Asset Management System (“RAMS”) RAMS has dramatically increased the lifespan of road assets through optimised maintenance schedules and reduced repair times. This system has enabled better resource allocation and cost savings, contributing to a sustainable and fiscally responsible approach to asset management. RAMS has also played a pivotal role in enhancing real-time monitoring and management of road conditions, leading to improved response times to incidents and maintenance needs. This has translated into a more reliable and efficient transportation network.
