OKP HOLDINGS' order book has just doubled -- from S$153 million to S$296.8 million, and extends out to year 2019.

That has come about with the award by the Land Transport of two design and build contracts (ER442 and ER443) worth S$60.9 million and S$82.9 million, respectively, for sheltered linkways.

The projects are part of the island-wide Walk2Ride programme introduced in January 2013 to enhance the comfort of people who walk to ride on the public transport network.

Work on these two contracts will start in 4Q2015 and will complete progressively by 2018.

Contract ER442 includes the construction of sheltered linkways within a 200-metre radius of 38 Light Rail Transit stations such as Teck Whye and Punggol Point.

Contract ER443 includes expanding the coverage of the sheltered linkway network to a 400-metre radius from its present 200- metre radius at 29 MRT stations including those in central areas such as Raffles Place and Orchard.

It also covers sheltered linkways within a 200-metre radius of a bus interchange.
