  1. JASPERS in the Environment, Energy and Municipal Sectors Water and Wastewater Sector Hans van Os Environmental Engineer Prague, 28th November 2007

  2. Observations in other countries Critical issues in preparation/implementation of Environmental projects: • Cost-overruns • Extension of Implementation period (in almost all cases!) • Inconsistencies between projects (technical assumptions, cost estimates, materials used) • Co-financing rates

  3. Feasibility/Application stages Jaspers support in two main project development stages: 1. Feasibility: • Option (alternative) Analysis • Definition of the project. Technical scope. Least cost solution. 2. Application: Set of documents, according to E.C. requirements. Reflect the project as it has been designed. • Cash-flow forecast (time, size) • Implementation schedule (procurement plan, Red/Yellow) • Capacity of Beneficiary. PIU structure. Technical Assistance • Operations

  4. Project Concept: Overall Screening of Feasibility Study General Aspects of Feasibility Study: • Objectives to be reached (e.g. Urban Wastewater Directive, quality standards) • Problem Definition • Definition of Technical Scope of the project (analysis of alternatives!) • Compliance with requirements of the Operational Programme (eligibility)

  5. Example of a typical Wastewater Project Extension Sewage Network and Wastewater Treatment Plant: • Capacity Extension, usually related to network extension • Tightening of Discharge Standards: Tertiary Treatment (N and P) Verify and check: • Demand Analysis and connection rates • Sludge Management: Sludge Digestion and Energy production (biogas) • Industrial Water

  6. Sewage Network Aspects • Pipe Material used, size (Ceramic, Plastics), Capital, Maintenance and Replacement costs • Gravity vs. Pressure pipes • Infiltration and Stormwater Rates • Reconstruction and maintenance needs (capped rates, e.g. in Hungary)

  7. Concluding Remarks: Experience with screening of Cohesion Fund Projects, focus point: • Option Analysis • Least-cost solution (cost-effectiveness) • Application documents conform the requirements
