SKK Group is a Singapore-based civil engineering contractor, operating through its subsidiary SKK Works, that specializes in subsurface utility construction and maintenance. The company installs underground power and telecom cable conduits, water pipelines, and sewer systems using two primary methods: conventional open-trench excavation and horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a trenchless technique used to bore under roads, waterways, and railways with minimal surface disruption. SKK Works' two primary customers are the Public Utilities Board (PUB) and Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel), with over 80% of revenue won through competitive public tenders. The company acts as main contractor on over 90% of its revenue base, with projects typically running two to three years. SKK Works reports two main service lines: cable and pipe laying works, and pipeline and sewerage repair and maintenance. The company operates on a cost-plus-markup pricing model, bidding fixed-price or unit-rate contracts and subcontracting earthworks and specialized tasks while managing overall project delivery. Owning its fleet of 15 HDD rigs, 22 excavators, and 35 vehicles is central to its operations, enabling rapid multi-site deployment without reliance on equipment rentals. SKK Works is one of five key HDD contractors in Singapore, and positions its 28+ years of management experience and owned equipment fleet as differentiators in a fragmented market of roughly 200 competitors. The company is currently pursuing a BCA Grade L6 certification, which would remove its current per-project contract value cap and allow it to bid on larger public infrastructure projects.
