Port Vila Urban Development Project

Preparatory studies of project design, which ensure technical feasibility during project preparatory phase, help reduce the effect of implementation delays that may arise due to changes in project scope or geographical conditions. As such, project master plans need to be properly supplemented by technical details to ensure suitable configuration of components. These need to cover the whole range of alternative technical options that are available. Also, the detailed engineering design of the chosen technical option could carefully consider site-specific conditions (agronomical, hydrological, among other things), which are crucial in the context of the Pacific region.
