Equipping a nation's development

EQUIPMENT and machinery supplier JP Nelson will be helping to build one of the largest man-made structures in Singapore - Changi Airport's Terminal 5. The future terminal is expected to be about 10 times as big as the country's largest shopping mall; an impressive multi-billion dollar development that is likely to be five-storeys high with 10 million square feet of space.

It is the latest in a line of mega projects that JP Nelson has undertaken over the years. It was also involved in the construction of the sprawling Resorts World Sentosa, the challenging Marina Coastal Expressway that includes an undersea tunnel, and the MRT network's Circle Line.

Set up in 1992, the company leases, sells and services equipment for engineering, construction, oil and gas, and offshore industries. Its portfolio of machines includes diesel generators, cranes, boom lifts, vibratory rollers, rigs and lighting towers.
