EarthTech and GSTC Work Together to Improve Water Quality     

On November 13th, 2007 the Guangzhou Xi Lang Wastewater Treatment Plant was officially opened.
   Xi Lang is an important first for China: the country's first wastewater treatment plant delivered using a Public-Private Partnership (P3) and a new, highly-effective model for improving water quality across China. Earth Tech, as a global provider of consulting, engineering, construction and operations services, served as the designer, construction manager and financer of the plant and will also act as the plant's operator.  
   The new Xi Lang plant is located in the Fang Cun area of the Li Wan district of Guangzhou and was built through a joint venture between Earth Tech and the Guangzhou Sewage Treatment Company (GSTC). The plant, which has the maximum capacity to treat 260 000 m3 of wastewater a day, was built six months ahead of schedule, under budget and consistently meets or exceeds Chinese wastewater standards.
