In July this year, the Cambodian government presented the Shanghai Construction Group (SCG) with an “Outstanding Contribution Award” in recognition of its remarkable contributions to Cambodia’s infrastructure development over the past 20 years.
Over the last two decades, SCG has constructed nearly 2,000 kilometers of national highways, provincial roads and urban ring roads in Cambodia, along with four pier platforms and more than 100 bridges, including nine major bridges.
Notable projects include Phnom Penh’s Third Ring Road, which integrates the southwestern road network of the capital city, and Cambodia’s National Highway No 8, significantly enhancing transportation and logistics efficiency between Cambodia and Vietnam. Additionally, the rural road assistance project has connected remote villages with the national highway system, while the Krouch Chhmar Mekong River Bridge has ended the reliance on ferries for cross-river travel.
Through these meticulously crafted projects, SCG has played a crucial role in the development of Cambodia’s national road network, contributing to the country’s economic growth and reinforcing the bond of friendship between China and Cambodia.
SCG has embedded the concept of sustainable development into every aspect of its construction processes. Throughout the process, SCG has implemented environmentally friendly practices, including wastewater treatment, air quality management and noise pollution control, ensuring harmony between development and nature and promoting sustainability.
SCG has also introduced advanced Chinese technology to Cambodia. Over the past 20 years, the company has employed approximately 30,000 local workers, including engineers, construction managers and equipment operators. Through training programs, including seminars on Chinese construction standards and skills assessments, SCG has trained over 15,000 people, creating thousands of job opportunities in Cambodia.
The company actively fulfills its social responsibilities, with more than 30 SCG employees honored with the Sino-Cambodian Friendship Cooperation Medal for their contributions.
