Surbana Jurong’s Southeast Asia’s Water & Environment team has secured a milestone win with first-time sewerage projects in three cities in Indonesia and one of the nation’s first sewerage schemes in years.
The team will provide consultancy services for Metropolitan Sanitation Management and Investment Project (MSMIP) in Indonesia. Appointed by the Directorate General of Human Settlements under the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the project will see sewerage systems to be built for the first time in Indonesia’s three major cities, Makassar, Jambi and Pekanbaru.
In partnership with MWH Global and leveraging local expertise at PT SMEC Denka, the team will provide design development, tender preparation and evaluation, and construction supervision of the sewerage systems. Design development will cover areas such as the wastewater treatment plants and networks associated with the cities’ business districts. The MSMIP will heighten the environmental value of the cities, which presently depend on poor standard holding tanks to collect and dispose of household effluent.
Brian Hayden, SEA Division’s Water Manager, said, “There have been a number of water supply schemes in Indonesia over the past 20 years, but this is the first sewerage scheme hence it is a great win for the team amidst strong competition. There will be some major engineering and construction challenges on this project which can be associated with first-time sewerage schemes in very populated cities. The social and environmental aspects of this project need to be closely managed throughout the term of the project as well.” He added that this is a significant win for both SMEC and the growing Indonesia team whose water infrastructure capabilities continue to develop. The project will take 40 months.

Singapore, 12 July 2016 – Surbana Jurong has signed a MOU with Public Utilities Board (PUB) during the Singapore International Water Week 2016 to provide closer business collaboration and knowledge transfer.
As Singapore’s national water agency, PUB will be providing capacity building programmes for Surbana Jurong staff and clients in water-related areas. It will also allow cooperation with various development agencies, knowledge institutes and cooperation promotion outfits. PUB will also cooperate on a project advisory basis for Surbana Jurong’s water-related projects.
“A report by the U.N. University Institute for Water, Environment and Health estimates that almost US$1.8 trillion is needed over the next 20 years to re-divert water flows to water stressed regions around the world. The business of managing floods and water shortages around the world will continue to grow as a result of climate change. As Singapore becomes a recognised world leader in water management, Singapore Inc companies will do well to foster closer collaboration in order to provide integrated water solutions. Surbana Jurong’s expertise in urban planning, infrastructure development and Smart City solutions, in partnership with PUB and other water management companies, will enable us to provide end-to-end solutions to our clients who are looking to solve their water problems.” said Mr Wong Heang Fine, Group CEO of Surbana Jurong Private Limited.

Witnessing the signing were Surbana Jurong’s Group CEO, Mr Wong Heang Fine and PUB’s CEO, Mr Ng Joo Hee. The event was graced by Minister for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifli.
