Shanghai Urban Environment (APL Phase III)

closed

The objective of the Third Phase of the Adaptable Program Loan for the Shanghai Urban Environment Project is to improve Shanghai's resource and environmental sustainability in the core and suburban areas through strategic priority investments and selective institutional reforms in the water and wastewater sectors. There are four components to the project; the first component of the project being water supply and management component. This component includes the construction of the Nanhui raw water conveyor, which is one of the nine components of the Qing Cao Sha Raw Water Project (QCSRWP). The remaining eight components of the QCSRWP are being funded by Shanghai, and are not part of the Third Phase of the Adaptable Program Loan (APL3). The Nanhui raw water conveyor, which will have a capacity of 1.28 million m/day, will supply raw water to the rapidly growing metropolitan areas in southeastern Shanghai, including the new container port development, and the high tech industry and logistical complexes around the Pudong international airport. The second component of the project is the wastewater component. This component supports construction of the Puxi trunk sewer, which is one of two sections of the extension of the Bailonggang southern trunk sewer system. The Puxi trunk sewer will collect about 390,000m/day of wastewater in the Xuhui district, and consists of 6.66 km of DN 3000 mm trunk sewer, 1.10 km of Diameter Nominal (DN) 3000 mm river crossing, 0.45 km of DN 2200 mm connecting sewer, and a 7.96 m/second pumping station. The third component of the project is the district environment management program component. This component will support the District Financing Vehicle (DFV), a subsidiary of Shanghai Chengtou Corporation, which is dedicated to financing environmental investments in Shanghai's suburban areas. Finally, the fourth component of the project is the institutional strengthening and training component.
