ADB Project: 53261-001 | Cambodia: Sustainable Coastal and Marine Fisheries Project

The Sustainable Coastal and Marine Fisheries Project began as a preparatory phase project. JEB participated
in this phase under Landell Mills (lead consultant).

This was a $1.23 million contract supporting the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF)
with strategic plan development for the sustainable management of coastal and marine resources
in Cambodia’s four coastal provinces of Kampot, Kep, Koh Kong, and Sihanoukville.

JEB, in the role of local technical expert was tasked with producing designs for fishery landing sites
and fishery administration buildings.

To produce the designs, we conducted technical studies on nine (9) sites that consisted of site audits, topographic and bathymetric surveys, meteorological and hydrological studies, soil investigations, and existing building structural studies.

Following the surveys, we developed concept designs for six harbors and detailed engineering designs (structural, MP, and architectural) for three fishery administration buildings. Our designs fit the project constraints, met stakeholder needs, and were value-engineered to ensure construction costs would not exceed the established budget.

All designs were presented to the client and approved. Upon completion of the projects preparatory phase, the Cambodian government and ADB launched a bidding process to award a firm with the Lead Detailed Design Consultant (CS-03) scope of work. JEB and its dedicated project team of 17 experts were awarded the CS-03 package.

As the lead detailed engineering design consultants for the Sustainable Coastal and Marine Fisheries Project we directly support the Cambodian Government with the development of sustainable coastal and marine infrastructure across Cambodia’s coastal provinces. Our work is performed in close collaboration with the Fisheries Administration under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. The project is aimed at building 19 landing sites and associated buildings to enhance the local fishery industry, develop sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure, and provide governmental assets for modern fishery monitoring. As the detailed design consultants, we are responsible for conducting technical feasibility studies, producing detailed engineering design, and submitting tendering packages for the construction phases.

Associated Buildings:

  • Bunk rooms, sanitary, and cooking facilities
  • Landing sites, jeeties, breakwaters
  • Mooring facilities
  • Access Roads and Parking
  • Local Markets
  • Hygienic Storage, Freezing
  • Production and Warehousing
  • Child care areas
