Recently, the project team of Penang 275 kV transmission line project in Malaysia built by CHEC, rescued two individuals who fell into the sea.

The incident occurred when a man and a woman fell into the sea near the first Penang Bridge, Malaysia, at 7:30 PM. Upon receiving the news during nighttime construction, the project team quickly sailed to the rescue, successfully saving the two individuals and a passerby who participated in the rescue. The rescued individuals were transported to the pier and then transferred to a hospital by ambulance.

The project department had previously conducted several emergency drills in collaboration with Penang's maritime authority. This rescue operation demonstrates the practical effectiveness of the project's emergency drills.

The Penang 275 kV transmission line project spans the Penang Strait, connecting Butterworth to Penang Island, with a total length of 9.6 kilometers. It is Malaysia's first large-scale cross-sea transmission line with towers exceeding 100 meters in height.
