Appointed Owner's Engineer in Vietnam's Integrated Wind and Solar Project

K2 Management has played a pivotal role as the owner’s engineer in the final phase of a groundbreaking renewable energy project in Vietnam.

This project, a joint venture between AC Energy and BIM Group, is located in Ninh Thuan Province and combines wind and solar power to supply electricity to Vietnam’s largest salt production facility. Spanning an impressive 2,500 hectares, this innovative project not only powers the salt facilities but also feeds clean energy into the grid, providing electricity to thousands of homes.

The Ninh Thuan wind farm project presented several unique technical and environmental challenges. Constructing a wind farm within a large-scale salt production hub required innovative engineering solutions to address issues related to salt corrosion, environmental impact, and complex land use.

Our experience was essential in navigating the complexities of this project. Over a period of two years, we provided end-to-end owner’s engineer services that included, technical specifications and design reviews, multi-contract negotiation and management, bankable reporting and construction follow up. 

Our approach was sensitive to the environmental impact of the project. We designed and implemented construction methodologies that minimised disruption to the natural salt farms and rice fields, preserving the ecological balance of the region.

Patrick Architta, President – Asia Pacific, K2 Management, said: “We are thrilled to have been able to play such an important role in the development of this particular wind project, and to have had the chance to add value through our end-to-end owner’s engineer services. K2 Management worked on a design, a layout and construction methodology adapted to the complicated sea salt aggression in respecting the environment of the natural existing salt farms."

“These power assets will not only provide green power to thousands of homes, but will also preserve natural sea salt and rice production, two industries that are vital to local economies in Vietnam, and decarbonising them is a huge step forward."

“It shows that with strong vision, a clear technical plan and outstanding delivery, co-located wind and solar farms can provide clean energy to homes and businesses – securing the long-term health and prosperity of local people and the planet.”
