Zheng, S and Tiong, R L K (2010) First public-private-partnership application in taiwan's wastewater treatment sector: Case study of the nanzih BOT wastewater treatment project. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 136(8), pp. 913-922. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Taiwan has been promoting public-private-partnership (PPP) projects in the wastewater treatment sector with the aim of improving its sustainable environment and increasing its wastewater treatment rate. The Nanzih Wastewater Treatment Project is the first PPP application in Taiwan's wastewater treatment sector. It provides important experiences and lessons for both the public and private sectors. This paper presents a detailed study of its tender process, concession agreement, financial structure, payment mechanism, and risk management. It explains the key features of the project and provides conclusive findings on the lessons learned. These observations should be useful for practitioners and academia who are interested in the development of future PPP wastewater treatment projects in Taiwan.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
