Consultancy Services for Environmental Safeguard Monitoring and Environmental Quality Test for Construction of Gas Transmission Pipeline under River Crossing at Little Feni, Muhuri, Dakatia, and Khalidas Rivers where HDD works will be done under Construction of Chittagong-Feni-Bakhrabad Gas Transmission Parallel Pipeline Project

The project will consist of about 181km, 36-inch gas transmission pipeline from Chittagong to Bakhrabad, southeast of Bangladesh. The gas transmission pipeline route will traverse the districts of Chittagong, Feni, and Comilla covering 11 subdistricts. The safeguard monitoring studies will cover Construction of Gas Transmission Pipeline under River Crossing at Little Feni, Muhuri, Dakatia, and Khalidas Rivers where HDD works will be done and that will traverse the districts of Comilla and Feni covering upazilla of Laksham in Nangalkot and Feni Sadar
