The water seepage phenomenon has been basically handled.

As for the cracks in the dam body, the technical team has driven in Melaleuca piles and reinforced soil bags at the landslide locations. Up to now, the water seepage phenomenon has been basically handled, the main cracks have been temporarily fixed, ensuring the initial safety of the dam body.

Authorities have also broken the overflow threshold and continued to install additional siphon pipes to speed up the rate of lowering the water level in the lake.

At the same time, the authorities broke the overflow threshold and installed additional siphon pipes to speed up the lowering of the water level in the lake.

Units continue to reinforce the dam body with soil bags.

Also on November 8, specialized units located chemical injection drilling locations to fill gaps in the dam body, preventing the risk of water leakage. It is expected that on November 9, 48 chemical injection drillings will be carried out to reinforce the dam body, ensuring the tightness and stability of the lake structure.

Units apply technical measures to quickly lower the water level at Cay An Lake as soon as possible.

Currently, the work to fix the problem at Cay An Lake is being carried out urgently and synchronously, in the spirit of "constructing and completing the paperwork at the same time". The forces are determined to complete the problem handling in the shortest time, ensuring absolute safety for the project and people in the downstream area.
