✦ Synopsis
Black & Veatch secures new projects in Asia Pacific region B lack & Veatch has won approxi- mately US$34 million of major new projects in the growing Singapore and Hong Kong water markets.
The company more than tripled the annual revenues of its water business in the Asia Pacific region during 2007 to approximately US$170 million.
In Singapore, Black & Veatch will undertake consulting engineering services for the Jurong Membrane Bioreactor Plant (MBR). With a capacity of 68 million litres per day (MLD), the plant will be the largest MBR facility in Singapore and one of the largest in the region.
Also in Singapore, SembCorp Utilities has selected Black & Veatch to carry out full engineering design services for the Changi NEWater Plant. The 228 MLD plant will be the fifth and largest NEWater plant in Singapore and incorporates a unique design that reduces land use and minimizes construction costs.
In Hong Kong, Black & Veatch has secured a number of key projects, which include the investigation study of the expansion of the Tai Po Water Treatment Works from 250 to 1200 MLD; the feasibility study of using the space below a future freight yard to accommodate part of a future biological sewage treatment plant on Stonecutters Island; and investigation, design and construction of village sewerage schemes in the North District, Tseung Kwan O and Tuen Mun of Hong Kong.
