[캄보디아] 프놈펜, 2천300만 달러 투자해 식수 생산량 확장

캄보디아 수도 유틸리티인 프놈펜수도공사(PPWSA)는 참카르몬(Chamkarmon) 수처리플랜트를 업그레이드하기 위해 프랑스 회사 Vinci Construction Grands Projects와 2천350만 달러 규모의 계약을 체결했다.

 
작업의 일환으로, 물 생산 능력은 하루 2만㎥에서 52만㎥로 확장될 것이다.

 
다음 달에 건설을 시작할 것으로 예상되는 이 프로젝트는 2014년 Niroth 2 수처리 플랜트의 두 번째 단계 이후 프랑스 회사와 체결한 PPWSA의 두 번째 계약이다.

이 4천만 달러 규모의 프로젝트는 메콩강(Mekong River)의 취수 시스템을 포함한 도시의 2005-2020 마스터 플랜의 일부였다.

유틸리티는 현재 하루 60만㎥의 식수를 생산하는 능력을 갖고 있지만 2025년까지 이 수치를 두 배 이상 늘릴 계획이다.

PHNOM PENH EXPANDS DRINKING WATER PRODUCTION WITH $23M INVESTMENT

Cambodian water utility Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) has awarded a US$23.5 million contract to French company Vinci Construction Grands Projects to upgrade the Chamkarmon water treatment plant.

As part of the work, water production capacity will be expanded from 20,000 m3/day to 52,000 m3/day.
 

Expected to start construction next month, this is the second contract PPWSA has awarded to the French company, after the second phase of the Niroth 2 water treatment plant in 2014.

This $40 million project was part of the city’s 2005-2020 Master Plan, which included a water-intake system in the Mekong River.

 
Ros Kimleang, head of PPWSA’s finance department was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying that existing treatment capacity is nearly at full capacity and that “the Chamkarmon Water Treatment Plan will become a significant part of our company’s production of water to supply to our customers.”

 
The utility currently has the capacity to produce 600,000 m3/day of drinking water but plans to more than double this by 2025.

 
PPWSA is often credited for its remarkable transformation. Following decades of conflict, the city was left with a weakened supply system. After refurbishing the network over a period of 15 years, the utility was able to provide all households with clean drinking water in 1998, with water losses reduced from 72 percent in 1993 to 6 percent 2008.

 
As well as Cambodia, Vinci Construction has secured water projects in France, Cameroon, Jamaica, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
