CECI in Vietnam
In 1994, CECI was the first international engineering consultant chosen to assist in Vietnam's economic development when it was selected to carry out the design and construction supervision services of a highway improvement section on Vietnam National Highway No. 5. The ROC-IEDF loan financed project proved to be a major success to both the Client and CECI in which CECI was honored for its performance of services, and has since then led to CECI's further expansion of consulting services in both northern and southern Vietnam.
The economic development of Vietnam is presently progressing at a very rapid rate and throughout this exciting period of modernization CECI has been providing its technical assitance in a number of projects, and at the same solidified an especially strong and amiable relationship with our clients and partners in the region. Listed below is a brief summary of some of our major project experience.
