What Roadcare (m) Sdn. Bhd. does

Roadcare (M) Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian private limited company (Sdn. Bhd.) founded in August 1999 and operating as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under parent company HCM Engineering Sdn. Bhd., within the listed Protasco Berhad group on the Main Board of Bursa Saham Malaysia. The company has been the designated concession holder since 2001 for federal road maintenance in the Central and Eastern Zone of Peninsular Malaysia, covering approximately 7,200 kilometers of federal roads across four states: Selangor, Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan. The concession was extended until 2026. Roadcare holds G7-grade contractor registration with CIDB Malaysia and is accredited to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards.

The company's service portfolio spans three core categories: routine maintenance (pavement repair, road shoulder maintenance, grass cutting, road furniture, bridges/culverts, drainage, and routine inspection); periodic maintenance (mill and pave, reconstruction, micro-surfacing, Cold-in-Place Recycling, interlocking block, regulate and overlay, pile embankment, road marking, signage, and guardrails); and emergency works (landslides, embankment failure, road subsidence, bridge collapse, flooding, chemical spillage, fallen trees). Its technical differentiator is Cold-in-Place Recycling (CIPR) — an on-site pavement rehabilitation process that reuses existing pavement layers mixed with cement and stabilizing additives — supplemented by advanced pavement evaluation services delivered in partnership with IKRAM Paves Sdn. Bhd., utilizing vehicle-mounted IKRAM Road Scanner, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), coring, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP), Clegg's Hammer, and Field Density Tests. Service delivery is managed through a network of 25+ branch, area, regional, and mini offices across the four operating states.

Roadcare's revenue model is a managed-services concession structure under direct contracts with the Ministry of Works (KKR) and Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR). Revenue derives from government-funded road maintenance allocations (routine, periodic, and emergency works) plus coordination fees on the G1-G4 Bumiputera Contractor Empowerment Program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as it is determined through government procurement rather than market-rate billing. The company has secured consecutive 5-Star JKR performance ratings for Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan (2022–2024) and a 4-Star rating for Selangor, and operates with no alternative customer base beyond the federal government.
