Pantai 2 Sewerage Treatment Plant Case Study

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of The Study

This study is basically to study on the design, construction and cost of Pantai 2 Sewerage Treatment plant. As we begin a new millennium, the major challenges faced by public health / environmental engineers and professionals is the provision of sustainable water infrastructure in the rapidly urbanizing mega-cities mostly in developing countries and emerging economies.

Same situation as our country which have a deficit of trained manpower and personnel to implement appropriate urban water systems and are heavy reliant on developed economics for both development aid and technical assistance.

Malaysia’s sewerage industry has evolved over the last half a century. Prior to the country’s independence in 1957, there were no proper sewerage systems and no need for a proper sewage treatment one due to the low population densities and very limited urbanized developments.

Thus the governments have implementing to improve our country sewerage systems nationwide due to the rapidly increased of populations, urban developments and due to the wastewater contained increasing amount of household chemicals and detergents, and more toxic and other chemical waste from industry (Abu-Rizaiza and Sarikaya 1993).

The design of the new era of sewerage systems in our country also contributes to the cost

The data collection can be divided into two groups which is primary data and secondary data. The primary data is obtained through interviews and observation. Where the secondary data act as a support to the primary data which is obtain through reference of reports and records of the project itself. Based on the both of sources of data that were collected, the aim and objectives of the research will be clearer and the understanding on the research will be more
