Sichuan Urban Development Project, Sichuan Province, People’s Republic of China

E & E is conducting a four-year, $3-million (US) project to provide technical assistance for China’s World Bank-financed Sichuan Urban Development Project (SUDP), a $180-million project funded by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

We are providing a Chief Resident Engineer, Deputy Chief Resident Engineer, and other senior western technical specialists to assist the SUDP Management Office in reviewing designs, preparing bid documents, managing contracts, and supervising construction of infrastructure facilities in the four cities of Mianyang, Suining, Yibin, and Panzhihua in Sichuan Province.  Construction will include local access roads, bridges, sewerage and wastewater collection systems, drainage aids, river embankment erosion control improvements, and general landscaping.  The overall objective of the SUDP is to improve core urban functions by removing identified infrastructure bottlenecks hampering land development, transport, and environment in the four cities and to support the implementation of urban infrastructure investment through capacity building in the areas of urban planning and management.
