Royal HaskoningDHV이 베트남 서부 Ba Ria Vung Tau 지역 마을에 두 개의 새 수처리 플랜트 및 이송관을 시행하는 280만 달러 규모 계약에 서명했다. 이번 프로젝트는 지역경제에를 위한 물 공급을 늘림으로써 10만여 명의 주민에게 깨끗한 식수와 경제개발 부흥을 가져다 줄 것으로 기대된다.

현재 프로젝트 지역에 거주하는 인구 중 단 30%만이 안전한 식수에 대한 접근권을 가지고 있는 것으로 드러났다. 대부분의 인구는 우물이나 표층수에서 얻은 안전하지 않은 물을 사용하고 있으며, 이는 곧 건강에 해로운 영향을 줄 수 있다.

이번 프로젝트는 원수 취수, 수처리, 이송망, 2만5천여 가정 및 사업장 연결 등으로 구성되는 두 개의 완전한 물 공급 시스템을 포함한다. Royal HaskoningDHV는 프로젝트 관리와 필수 장비 및 부품 공급을 책임지게 된다. 프로젝트는 2016년 3월 완공될 예정이다.

 

 

 

Royal HaskoningDHV, an international engineering and project management consultancy, has signed a 2.7-million-euro ($2.8-million) contract to implement two new water treatment plants and distribution networks in the province of Ba Ria Vung Tau, South Vietnam.

 

The project will provide 100,000 people with clean drinking water and boost economic development by increasing water supply to local businesses. Currently, only 30 percent of the rural population in the project area has access to safe drinking water. The majority of people use unsafe water from wells and surface water, which can adversely affect their health.
 
The project includes two complete water supply systems consisting of raw water intake, water treatment, distribution networks, and 25,000 home and business connections. Royal HaskoningDHV is responsible for project management and the supply of critical equipment and components. The project is scheduled for completion in March 2016.

 

The contract was signed with the Center for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (CERWASS) of the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Further, the project is being co-financed by the Facility for Infrastructure Development, which is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to encourage public infrastructure enhancement in developing countries.

 

"The implementation of the Ba Ria Vung Tau Rural Water Supply project plays a crucial role in our objective to supply clean water to 97 percent of the rural residents by the year 2020," said CERWASS Director Nguyen Van Tri. "It is an important and truly meaningful project, which will contribute to the realization of Vietnam's rural clean water supply and sanitation strategy."
 
Tim Jeanne, Royal HaskoningDHV's director of Water Technology for the AESAN market, added, "Through this project, we are really improving the lives of the mainly poor people in the rural districts of Xuyen Moc and Dat Do. Within a couple of years, these people will have sufficient and safe drinking water delivered to their houses. We will also be increasing water supply to businesses and SMEs, thus encouraging economic development.
 
"We have already delivered the complete design and engineering, socio-economic reporting, EIA, and feasibility study for the Ba Ria Vung Tau water supply system," Jeanne continued. "We are now responsible for the construction management of the water treatment plant and distribution system and supply of equipment and components like pumps, valves, sludge scrapers, instrumentations, and the electrical and automation system."
