Selected project examples
Bank protection and flood control program, Bangladesh
Prompted by the frequency of flooding events, the Bangladesh Water Development Board has, with financial support from the World Bank, instituted the “River Bank Improvement Program” for flood control. Fichtner is helping the government water agency to prepare for and implement this program. In an initial project phase, we prepared a technical feasibility study, an economic analysis, environmental and social impact studies, a relocation concept, an O&M concept, the monitoring/evaluation framework and a finance administration system. We also prepared the detail planning.
