These factors make it an ideal location for a coal seaport serving KLPC and other power plants in Mekong Delta Area. Nam Du Deep Water Seaport Project with the estimated investment of 800 million USD is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (2010-2013) with the throughput capacity of 12MT (coal) and 5MT (other cargoes), receiving ships of up to 80,000DWT; Phase 2 (2014-2020) with the throughput capacity of 50MT (coal) and 12MT (other cargoes), receiving ships of up to 150,000-200,000DWT. Nam Du Deep Water Seaport will make a major contribution to the development of the whole Mekong Delta Area by supporting the export of rice, seafood and aquaculture products and the import of coal, raw materials, equipment, fertilizer, etc., reducing transport cost and product price as well as motivating competitiveness. In long term, Nam Du Deep Water Seaport will be the future gateway to ASEAN countries of Vietnam, supporting the development and integration of ASEAN countries as well.

RHK wins Strengthening Water Management and Irrigation System Rehabilitation Project in Vietnam
Introduction (1000 / 894)
Royal Haskoning has been selected by the Asian Development Bank to assist the Government of Vietnam in preparing a USD 130 million loan package with the purpose of strengthening water management in Viet Nam and the rehabilitation of the Bac Hung Hai irrigation and drainage scheme. The loan is likely to be co-financed by the Government of France.
The project objectives are:
- Improved service delivery in the Bac Hung Hai Irrigation and Drainage Scheme by improved governance and management and by constructing new infrastructure and upgrading of existing irrigation and drainage systems infrastructure.
- Increase the number of qualified engineers and technicians in agriculture related water management by expanding infrastructure and teaching equipment, materials and methods at the Water Resources University (WRU) in its campus in Hanoi and the new campus in the Chuong My District of Hanoi.
Bericht (2000 / 1989)
The first part of the project consists of a feasibility study for the Bac Hung Hai scheme which is a combined system for both irrigation and drainage. The Bach Hung Hai scheme is one of the oldest and largest irrigation and drainage systems in Vietnam. Situated in the Red River Delta, the scheme covers an area of about 200.000 hectares and takes water mainly from the Red River. This part of the project is carried out by experts of the Water and Coastal & Rivers division in Asia. Main issues are 1) Urbanisation and industrialization in Bac Hung Hai system changes the land use patterns and therefore the irrigation and drainage requirements for the future, 2) Decreasing water levels in the Red River affects the capacity of the gravity intake structures.
An additional study is executed to analyse what causes the changing water levels in the surrounding rivers of the BHH scheme. The decrease is most likely the result of morphological changes due to e.g. the large quantities of sand mining and sediment retention in Hoa Binh reservoir disturbing the dynamic equilibrium in the river system. This study is executed by experts from Deltares, The Netherlands
The second part of the project concerns the review of the master plan and designs for a new campus for the WRU at the outskirts of Hanoi that will eventually provide educational and supporting facilities for some 17.000 students. This task is carried out by the Architecture and Building Division of Royal Haskoning. Together with the Investment Department of the University, Royal Haskoning will determine the scope of the project, review the designs and cost estimates and prepare the justification and outline for the investment program.
Haskoning has associated with UNESCO IHE of Delft, the Netherlands to also review the university’s strategy and curriculum development so that once the new campus is operational it will be able to implement a state of the art educational program on water resource management. |

Royal Haskoning approved as Green Building Consultant in Dubai
Royal Haskoning is now formally registered as a Green Building Consultant in Dubai. Recently new legislation was introduced, in which all new buildings require a green building review by an approved consultant. With our registration in place, we are one of the few companies that are entitled to execute this review.
The review is based on the American LEED system, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. In this system the location, water and energy use, type of materials and environmental quality are taken into account.
Royal Haskoning Dubai has appointed a multidisciplinary team to tackle these assignments. This team includes specialists from the divisions Environment, Architecture, Building Services and Water. It is especially our multidisciplinary character that puts us in a strong position to do this job. The first assignment, for a review of a townhouse project in Jebel Ali, has already started. |

Royal Haskoning Vietnam held a mini-seminar on sustainable buildings and integrated health care design last Monday on 20 October 2008
Peter Luscuere and Bing Yu from the building services divisions were in Vietnam and gave presentations on those topics to an audience of investors, clients and consultants at the Duxton hotel in Saigon. The presentations were successful and received good response from the listeners. Although still in the very early stages of development, sustainable design is receiving an increasing amount of attention by private investors in Vietnam. Also investors are looking into the health care sector and considering large investments in hospitals in Vietnam.
But foremost, the seminar provided an excellent PR morning for the Royal Haskoning operations in Vietnam. And through sessions only for the office staff in the afternoon and the next days, it also proved a very learning opportunity for the staff of Royal Haskoning in Vietnam. |
