The Solid Waste Component of the Program North II covers the densely populated provinces Ha Tay with 2.6 M inhabitants and Bac Ninh with 1 M inhabitants. They are surrounding the capital Hanoi.

Special attention is paid here to the cities of Ha Dong and Son Tay in the province Ha Tay (Ha Tay province is accordingly divided into a southern and a northern part) and to the city of Bac Ninh in the respective province. The project areas are characterized by intense agricultural land use and a rapidly growing industrial sector.

The objective of the project was to protect public health and the environment in the project areas by introduction of an improved Solid Waste Management system.

The project was divided into 2 phases, namely the site selection phase and the feasibility phase
Objective of the site selection phase was the determination of an appropriate site for a waste treatment centre and the approval of that site by the related authorities. 
The feasibility phase was divided into 2 steps. The first step was the elaboration of a concept study for a time horizon of 20 years. Out of the concept design a German-Vietnamese investment project had to be defined and scrutinized in more detail in the second step, the feasibility study.

Major results of the consultancy are:
  • Site selection reports
  • Concept study reports (on master plan level)
  • Feasibility study (construction design level)
