Royal Haskoning Wins Contract for Vietnamese Project

Royal Haskoning and its partners, Deltares and DHV, have acquired a project in a series of Dutch-Vietnamese initiatives to improve flood control in the Mekong Delta.

“It is exciting that with this project we are embarking on a long-term relationship with Vietnam in the field of integrated water management to the benefit of a city with seven million inhabitants,” said Divisional Director of Water René Noppeney.

This project aims to reduce flooding in and around Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The project team will develop partnerships and identify funding sources for the implementation of future projects and strengthen the technical and management capabilities of relevant Vietnamese agencies. The project team will also promote partnerships between Dutch and Vietnamese educational, scientific, water and environmental institutions, and between governmental and non-governmental organizations in the water management field. Moreover, it will investigate opportunities for collaboration under ongoing programs for the exchange of knowledge and experiences on delta technology, climate change and water management.

The project, which has a contract value of €2 million, is funded by both the Dutch and Vietnamese governments. Royal Haskoning will act as the lead partner of the project’s consortium. The contract between the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the consortium was signed on Sept. 16 in Ho Chi Minh City.
