Development of the Northern Chu and Southern Ma Rivers Irrigation System Project

The timely completion of topography surveys and detailed engineering design (DED) is crucial to irrigation infrastructure projects. It permits timely procurement and construction works that are critical for projects with multiple phases. Procurement for the construction of secondary and on-farm canals for phase 2 were delayed, as its DED could not commence before phase 1 DED could be finalized. This led to the implementation delays in the succeeding phases. Technically experienced contractors can help execute engineering designs efficiently and in a timely manner.
