Description
Changi WRP is the largest wastewater treatment plant in Singapore. Most of the 800 ML/d facility is situated underground and some of the process units stacked to reduce footprint. The project was a traditional design-tender-construct delivery involving 22 construction and equipment contracts. The project boasts many innovative features, and was fully designed and modeled in 4D; the model contains all attributes of the various components and forms an integral part of the O&M and asset management systems. CH2M HILL and CPG Consultants were the design consultants and provided construction management for the project.
