គម្រោងព្រលានយន្តហោះសៀមរាបត្រូវពន្យារ Siem Reap’s US$1bn airport delayed
Wednesday, 06 June 2012 May Kunmakara
No ground was broken in May on the New Siem Reap International Airport (NSRIA), a US$1 billion Korean investment, and officials say no definite date has been set for work on the project as the developer looks for new partners.
NSRIA Co Ltd, an equal joint venture by Camco Airport Co Ltd and Lees A&A, would not begin construction on the mega-project, for which a ground-breaking ceremony had been scheduled in May, Tek Reth Samrach, chairman of the airport steering committee, said yesterday.
The two companies, which last year were embroiled in a fraud scandal in Korea, were struggling with the project that would be the largest airport in Cambodia if completed, according to Tek Reth Samrach.
NSRIA has declined to formally notify the Cambodian government of its plans for the project, which was hoped to have a capacity of as many as 15 million passengers a year.
“We sent them a letter in early April but they replied unofficially, saying the company is facing some internal problems,” he said. “They are seeking a new partner now.”
The government has largely been left in the dark regarding details on the nature of the company’s ailments.
Tek Reth Samrach said he didn’t know which of the two companies would be seeking a new partner, or if one of the companies would be pulling out of the project.
Construction was expected as early as April, the Post reported in March.
At the time, the airport steering committee expressed confidence in the Korean company’s ability to see a timely start to the project despite a key Korean player being jailed in his home country.
Attempts to reach Camco Airport Co Ltd and Lees A&A yesterday were unsuccessful.
The companies yesterday appeared not to have websites.
NSRIA has yet to announce any new plans for groundbreaking this year, stoking some worry on possible long-term delays, the likes of which other Korean projects such as Camko City and Gold Tower have seen in the past three years.
“For huge investments such as this one, if they get suspended for two or three months, that doesn’t matter. But delays should not last more than a year,” Tek Reth Samrach said.
“On the government side, we already offered them the land for the development. We hope they can seek a new partner and start soon.”
The airport design has been submitted to Cambodian officials, the Post reported in March.
The government granted NSRIA a 500 hectare land concession in 2010. The site is 60 kilometres from the city of Siem Reap.
In March, NSRIA chief executive Lee Tae-hwan was sentenced to seven years in prison for involvement with fraudulent loans at Busan Savings Bank.
The scandal, which shook Korean financers and investors in mid-2011, put the brakes on Camko City, a $2 billion satellite city project in Phnom Penh.
Much speculation also surrounds the future of Gold Tower, a Korean investment in the centre of the capital, which has been a more than 30-storey stack of concrete and rebar since 2010.
Investors Yon Woo have routinely declined to comment on their plans for the project and government officials in the Ministry of Land management, Urban Planning and Constructionhave said they are unaware of the company’s plans.
A bigger airport would be needed to cater to the seven million annual tourists the Cambodian government hopes to receive by 2020, Ang Kim Eang, president of the Cambodian Association of Travel Agents, said yesterday.
Phnom Penh International Airport has a maximum capacity of three million passengers per year, he said.
“If we look at the target of the Ministry of Tourism, of course we need an airport with a big capacity so that we can attract more tourists to come to the country. We could welcome long-haul flights from the United States, Europe, Australia and so on,” Ang Kim Eang said.
Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport can receive 40 million tourists a year and Vietnam is now expanding its capacity to 15 million passengers, he added.

A medical centre made from plastic bottles
When it comes to 21th century, people start to care about the environment as the world natural resources have been decreasing noticeably. Researchers have been working hard to find new alternative resources. While researching works on new alternatives are undertaking, reusing recycling and renewing method is also being used. Treak Village Medical Centre is a good example for this method.
Treak Village Medical Centre is a project of a Cambodian non-profit NGO, HUSK for communities, formed by the owners and senior manger of The Villa Siem Reap and Sojourn. The medical center main wall construction material are plastic bottles in which green waste and wet rubbish are put. The plastic bottle is called Eco Block. According to HUSK website, the idea of Eco block is invented by Pura Vida.
The wall of this medical center is made by bounding the Eco blocks between layers of chicken wires which are attached to the metal frame. They use concrete up to 3 layers of cement mixed with sand to apply to the outside of the bottles. Process of making the wall is easy and the Eco block is green and cost efficient.
How do you think about this idea? Have you considered building your house with these Eco blocks?

Siem Reap International Airport
In late 2010, new Siem Reap Int'l airport was a hot story in local and international medias. The new airport is expected to cost $1 billion and be finished in 2015. Company behind this huge project is NSIA, a joint venture between Camco Airport Co. and Lees A&A Co, both are Korean firms. The new airport will be built 50 kilometers from the existing one and will be large enough to allow larger aircraft in.
Media also reported that the proposal has been green-lighted by Cambodia Development Council but awaits Prime Minister's approval. So far, we have not received any updates about the progress of this project.
Projects Cambodia would like to show some photos we got from SAMWOO Architects and Engineers, Korean company which was commissioned to design this new airport.
Do you think this project will be built?
Siem Reap International Airport in Cambodia
The Angkor Wat of Cambodia as a representative of the World Cultural Heritage has been in steady growth in tourism and the air travel demand is expected to increase. Considering the impact on the Angkor Wat by the operations of the existing airport’s runway, the necessity of construction of the new airport has been raised. The airport design is considered as the gateway to Cambodia, and reflects the appropriate image of Angkor Wat. Cost saving can be accomplished through the smooth and reasonable step-by-step plan of construction to respond to the rapid growth in air traffic demand. With the difference of the topographical level, the APC regional plan can reduce the amount of civil engineering about 333,600m2. By the difference of PTB(Passenger Terminal Building) level and the
APC(Airport Plaza Complex) level, an hierarchy of facilities is naturally formed.
