Background
On 22 June 2026, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport convened a project-team meeting to review updates to the scope of work for the Urban Infrastructure Development Project (UIDP). The session was held at the ministry headquarters and was led by Secretary of State Heng Non in his capacity as project director.
Participants examined the proposed scope for feasibility studies (FS) and detailed engineering designs (DeD) to be prepared by Kunhwa Engineering & Consulting Co. Ltd for four provincial municipalities: Kampong Chhnang (Kampong Chhnang Province), Prey Veng (Prey Veng Province), Doun Keo (Takeo Province), and Kampong Cham (Kampong Cham Province). Attendees included the deputy project director, project managers, members of the project management unit, representatives of ES International Consultants and Yooshin Engineering Corporation, and relevant technical officers.
Key Developments
The meeting focused on clarifying the consultant deliverables and the detailed scope roles assigned to Kunhwa Engineering within the FS and DeD stages for each city. Coordination among multiple consulting teams and the project management unit was highlighted to ensure consistent technical inputs across the four municipal locations.
Institutional Role
MPWT functions as the lead ministry overseeing the UIDP and organizes project management units to manage consultant engagement, technical review, and inter-agency coordination. The presence of multiple technical consultants at the meeting reflects the multi-contractor approach used for engineering and design work in large urban infrastructure projects.
Operational Implications
Updating and documenting the scope of work establishes the technical tasks and deliverables that will guide the feasibility and design phases of the UIDP for the four cities.
