PWD Urged To Intensify Use Of Modern Technology In Mega Projects
KAPIT, June 27 (Bernama) -- The Public Works Department (PWD) has been urged to intensify the use of modern technologies, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twinning, in the implementation of major projects such as the Pan Borneo Highway and rural road construction.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the use of such technology is important to ensure the quality, efficiency and cost of implementation are at optimum levels.
'This technology is no longer an option, but rather a necessity. I call on the Sarawak Public Works Department and all relevant agencies to establish close cooperation with the Ministry of Works to implement the pilot project in Kapit,' he said at the 2025 Ngiling Tikai Gawai Dayak event here last night.
