Royal HaskoningDHV in Vietnam has signed a € 9.5 million contract with the Ba Ria Vung Tau Urban Sewerage and Development Company (BUSADCO) to implement a complete wastewater solution for over 175,000 residents of Phu My New Urban Area near Ho Chi Minh City.
The project will deliver sanitation for residents and industries whose wastewater is currently discharged untreated, resulting in high levels of environmental pollution. The Dutch Government is financing the project as part of its Facility for Infrastructure Development (ORIO programme) in developing countries.
The sewage plant will use Royal HaskoningDHV's Carrousel® technology – a proven, cost-effective, reliable and highly efficient system – applied in some 1,500 wastewater treatment plants across the globe – for the biological treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. The new plant will have a treatment capacity of almost 30,000 m3/day.
The project also includes the construction of four pumping stations, over 100km of pipeline network and the connection of 15,000 households and over 1,000 small-and medium-sized enterprises. During the operation and maintenance phase the team will also provide technical assistance and staff training.
Dr. Hoang Duc Thao, the Chairman cum General Director of BUSADCO said:
"The construction of a complete wastewater collection and treatment system for Phu My New Urban Area has become an urgent issue and the first priority for economic and social development of Ba Ria Vung Tau Province."
The wastewater solution for Phu My is the third ORIO funded project in Vietnam that Royal HaskoningDHV will implement. Together these projects will improve the living conditions of some 400,000 people. ORIO, the Dutch Governments Facility for Infrastructure Development encourages public-infrastructure development in developing countries.
The project also adds to the company’s growing number of environmental improvement schemes in Vietnam; of which ten are ongoing.
The project is expected to be completed by December 2019.
