“The project will finance for sanitation subprojects in the city of Siem Reap, which is the UNESCO Heritage city of Angkor Wat, as well as in the three towns of Battambang, Kampong Cham and Sihanoukville,” Mr Nils Gärdek from the International Water and Climate Resilience Department said in Ramboll’s announcement.

“Activities include a new wastewater treatment plant and new sewers in Battambang, a septage management system in Kampong Cham, expansion of the existing wastewater treatment system in Sihanoukville as well as a new trunk sewer in Siem Reap,” he added.

According to Ramboll, the project new facilities are scheduled to finish by 2022.

In this development project, Ramboll will act as a supporter and an advisor to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) on management and implementation.
