In our role as General Consultant, the SMEC RITES JV will oversee the management and implementation of the project, whilst adding knowledge transfer and capability to the client team.

Leveraging our joint history of collaboration, the team will deploy customised reporting tools to improve interface management and minimise risk.

Project funding has been secured from the Asian Infrastructure Bank, with detailed alignment review and land acquisition already underway.
