SMEC's first project in the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea is funded by the Kuwait Fund for
Arab Economic Development. SMEC is hopeful that this project will mark the
beginning of an Australia ongoing contribution to the economic
reconstruction of the DPRK.
Pyonyang's population of 3 million
persons is 86% urban. The water supply system is in a state of general
disrepair and the water purification plants and pumping stations are
only partly functional. The city's stormwater drainage system is
experiencing problems with sedimentation leading to lack of capacity and
frequent flooding of roadways. This feasibility study will
identify measures to normalise water production of existing plants and
increase their production capacities, upgrade and normalise the
operation of pumping facilities, strengthen leak detection, introduce
gauging for water production and supply systems, repair stormwater
drainage systems and strengthen capacity for maintenance and management.
