The Rajshahi WASA Surface Water Treatment Plant project in Bangladesh, undertaken by Hunan Construction Engineering Group, a subsidiary of Hunan Construction Investment Group, has continuously made progress since July 2023, with the construction progress exceeding 20% of the total.

The proposed SWTP comprises construction of an intake, conventional treatment plant, treated water transmission mains, booster pump station and primary & secondary distribution network in Rajshahi.

After the completion of the project, it will effectively solve the problem of safe water use in the Rajshahi area, promote local economic and social development, and improve people’s livelihoods.

At the construction site, more than 400 Chinese and Bangladeshi employees were working hard, with large machines such as excavators and cranes carrying out precise lifting and transferring. With the pile foundation construction work progressing, the project team has scientifically optimized construction time and reasonably allocated resources to overcome unfavorable factors such as long rainy seasons, ensuring the continuity of construction work.

This project carries expectations for the water security of the citizens in Rajshahi. As of now, the project department has completed the construction of temporary buildings of the water treatment plant, the first phase of the water plant, and sand backfilling of the booster pump station. Meanwhile, it has obtained the owner’s authorization for the construction of a 6KM water pipeline, accelerating the on-time delivery of the overall project. 

In the next stage, the project department will devote all efforts to the following construction work and complete the established goals with high quality and efficiency.
