South Korea’s Heerim Architects & Planners announced on Friday that it has been awarded a project management consultant (PMC) contract worth 14 billion won ($10.9 million) by the Cambodia Airports Investment Company (CAIC) for the Phnom Penh New Airport.

Under the contract, Heerim will provide construction supervision, project cost management, schedule management, quality management, design management and safety management for the ongoing construction of the Phnom Penh New Airport until October next year.
