Centurion and Lian Beng to construct 7-000 bed, $200m foreign worker dorm

It is expected to be completed by mid-2016.

Workers in the process industry in Jalan Papan need not worry where they will stay while away from home.

According to a report by RHB, ajoint venture between Centurion Corporation Group and Lian Beng Group has begun construction on the S$200m foreign worker accommodation and training centre in Jalan Papan.

The dormitory is expected to be completed by mid-2016 and will have 7,000 beds, catering to workers in the process industry.

The Jalan Papan dormitory is a solid addition to Centurion’s dormitory portfolio as it will be situated at an attractive location right outside Jurong Island, just a 5- minute drive from the checkpoint.

In addition, it will be supported by the ASPRI association, with training courses provided for workers from the process industry, who are residents of the facility.

RHB adds that this JV is Centurion’s second long-term partnership with Lian Beng, and further strengthens the working relationship between the two companies.
