Technical opening of the main eastern route of Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway in 2024

This is the commitment of VEC to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Canh, Vice Chairman of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises, during the site inspection of the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway Construction Project last weekend.

According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Canh, the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway construction project is a key transport infrastructure project, receiving special attention from the Prime Minister and Government leaders because this is a section of the North - South Expressway, connecting the Southeast provinces and the Mekong Delta.

Vice Chairman of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises Nguyen Ngoc Canh and the working delegation inspected the Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway Construction Project.

Therefore, in the role of investor - Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) needs to take advantage of favorable weather, speed up construction progress, ensure safety, quality and efficiency, especially strengthen the work of ensuring traffic safety, labor safety and environmental sanitation during construction.

Regarding the difficulties and problems of the Project, the Vice Chairman of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises said that he will report to competent authorities to promptly resolve them.

Specifically, for Package J3 - Construction of Phuoc Khanh Bridge and overpass through Can Gio District, the leader of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises, Nguyen Ngoc Canh, will work with the Japan International Cooperation Bank - JICA to adjust the Agreement, allowing Vietnamese contractors to participate in construction and installation, completing the remaining work of this Package.

“Regarding the remaining land issues, VEC is urgently working with Dong Nai province to completely resolve the land issues, so as not to affect the project progress,” Vice Chairman Nguyen Ngoc Canh directed.

Regarding the expansion plan of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway Project, Vice Chairman of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises Nguyen Ngoc Canh requested VEC to focus on completing the Project investment plan and submit it to the Government before March 17, 2024 for synchronous implementation with the progress of the Long Thanh International Airport construction project.

According to Mr. Pham Hong Quang, General Director of VEC, up to this point, the total output value of implemented construction packages has reached about 80% of the adjusted construction value of the Project.

In which, the western section using ADB loan, packages A2-1 and A3 have been completed and are undergoing acceptance and handover procedures. Package A1-1, the contractor has started to implement the remaining work volume of Package A1. Package A2-2 and A4, VEC has issued bidding documents to select contractors to construct the remaining work volume.

For the JICA-funded section, Package J2 has now been completed. For Package J1, the contractor has started burning K1 of the main span of the Binh Khanh cable-stayed bridge and is continuing to burn K2 as well as the remaining items of the approach bridge.

However, although the J3 Package has issued bidding documents to select contractors to construct the remaining work volume, it has not received any attention from Japanese contractors. Therefore, VEC has reported to JICA to allow the adjustment of adding Vietnamese contractors to participate in the bidding selection as independent contractors.

Regarding the eastern section using ADB loan capital, Package A5 has been completed. Package A7 has reached 84% of output, currently the contractor is implementing mass construction of asphalt concrete items on the Thi Vai bridge approach.

According to Mr. Truong Viet Dong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of VEC, the unit is resolutely directing the Advisory Board, Project Management Board and construction contractors to focus on human and material resources; put all efforts into speeding up progress and ensuring quality.

“VEC is determined to strive to put part of the route into operation before October 2024 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Corporation's founding (October 6, 2004 - October 6, 2024) and open the entire route to traffic in 2025,” Mr. Dong emphasized.

In his opening speech, Mr. Pham Xuan Duong, Rector of Vietnam Maritime University, stated that developing the Southern Coastal Economic Zone is a very important, urgent and correct orientation of Hai Phong in order to make the best use of opportunities, promote potential advantages, and create open development space for many years to come.

The workshop is an opportunity to look at and clearly assess the opportunities and challenges; identify the work that needs to be done to soon form the Southern Coastal Economic Zone. As one of the key national universities, Vietnam Maritime University identifies that participating in the process of building and forming the Southern Coastal Economic Zone is a responsibility and right that needs to be focused on. In particular, the university has specific programs and plans to contribute to training human resources to serve the needs of future economic zone development.

According to Mr. Le Trung Kien, the effectiveness of Dinh Vu - Cat Hai Economic Zone; the results of Hai Phong's investment attraction over the past 30 years, along with its important location in the dynamic region of the Red River Delta, located in 3 important economic corridors, the South Hai Phong Coastal Economic Zone plays a particularly important role in connecting with neighboring economic zones, forming a chain of coastal economic zones, driving the development of the whole region.

Ministry of Transport announces results of pilot project on using sea sand as roadbed

The Ministry of Transport has just issued Official Dispatch No. 2499/BGTVT-KHCN&MT to the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to announce some results and main contents of the pilot project on using sea sand as roadbed.

Pilot use of sea sand for the DT978 restoration section of the Hau Giang - Ca Mau section component project.

Previously, the ministry piloted the use of sea sand as roadbed on the DT.978 repatriation section of the Hau Giang - Ca Mau section of the North - South Eastern Expressway Construction Project in the 2021-2025 period and established a Ministerial Council to evaluate the implementation results.

The results show that the sea sand used for the pilot section has physical and mechanical properties that meet the requirements for roadbed materials according to TCVN 9436:2012 “Roadbed - construction and acceptance”. The report summarizing the construction work, inspection and assessment of construction quality, and environmental monitoring also shows that there is sufficient basis to use sea sand for roadbed construction in conditions similar to the testing area of ​​the Pilot Project.

However, according to the Ministry of Transport, because the pilot has only been implemented on a small scale, the design level is lower than that of the highway, the quality of sea sand has only been studied for one area (sea sand mine in Tra Vinh province), and the technical regulations and standards on salinity for crops and livestock are not complete.

Therefore, the widespread use of sea sand materials for highway construction needs to be further piloted and expanded in projects with higher scale and design levels, as well as piloted in different natural conditions, environmental conditions, and sources of sea sand materials to have a basis for comprehensive evaluation.

In Official Dispatch No. 2499, the Ministry of Transport stated that the Ministerial Council agreed to use sea sand as the embankment material for expressway roads with some conditions: only use sea sand that meets the material standards according to TCVN 9436:2012, use for embankments with density K≤ 95 in areas with saline environmental conditions similar to the testing area of ​​the Pilot Project. In the immediate future, it should be considered to use it for the subsurface area, K95 embankment, and the roadbed area located below the area affected by live load.

In addition, it is necessary to deploy environmental monitoring solutions to monitor the level of impact during implementation.

Along with the Ministry of Transport's pilot implementation of using sea sand at the DT.978 repaved section, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has implemented a project to assess mineral resources in Soc Trang province, in which it basically assessed the indicators of sea sand in the coastal areas of Soc Trang province to meet the requirements for roadbed filling materials according to TCVN 9436:20122.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has transferred to the People's Committee of Soc Trang Province documents and records to carry out procedures to exploit and supply materials for projects according to the specific mechanism specified in Resolution No. 43/2022/QH15, Resolution No. 106/2023/QH15 of the National Assembly.

On the basis of the above results, the Ministry of Transport requests the People's Committees of provinces and cities to base on the needs and practical conditions for implementing the local project to organize the pilot deployment of expansion and use of sea sand as a roadside for construction projects with natural conditions and environment similar to the pilot project.

In the course of implementation, units need to study the recommendations of the Ministry of Scientific Council at the ministerial level; have environmental monitoring solutions, organize supervision and assessment of impact levels during implementation; ensure compliance with the regulations on investment, construction and other relevant laws; synthesize data sent to the Ministry of Transport; At the same time, continue to survey, collect data and set norms according to the provisions of Article 21 of Decree No. 10/2021/ND-CP on management of construction investment costs.

Currently, the demand for materials used for leveling and embankment for transport projects in the Mekong Delta area is very large, particularly 4 key high -speed projects are implementing about 56 million m3, not to mention the demand for sand materials to build up the foundation for other projects as investors. Although the reserves of river sand materials have been identified by localities and basically arranged enough sources, however, the exploitation and supply capacity has not met the material needs according to the project implementation progress. In case of excessive exploitation increase, it will lead to river bank erosion, affecting social life in the area, besides the Mekong Delta area is an area affected by climate change.

Strive to energize the 220 kV lines of Nam Sum - Nong Cong before April 30, 2024

Nam Sum - Nong Cong 220 kV line project (part of the territory of Vietnam) is 129.95 km long, including 299 foundations - columns and 99 interval, passing through Que Phong and Quy Chau districts (Nghe An province) and districts such as Xuan, Nhu Thanh and Nong Cong (Thanh Hoa province).

Worth mentioning, according to the plan, the project must be completed in January 2024 but there are still 76 spaces and 42 column foundations that have not been handed over the ground due to difficulties and obstacles in compensation for site clearance and conversion of forest use purposes.

Therefore, the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) has just had a meeting with the People's Committee of Nghe An Province, the People's Committee of Que Phong District, Quy Chau District People's Committee, proposing to remove difficulties and obstacles in the site clearance for this project.

At the meeting with the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), EVN leaders also listened to supervision advice, construction contractors have specifically reported the progress, difficulties and obstacles of each position; At the same time, pledges to complete the project in accordance with the required investor schedule.

At the request of the EVN leader, the 220 kV Nam Sum - Nong Cong line project plays a particularly important role in serving electricity from Laos, ensuring electricity for the North, especially from the hot season in 2024.

Therefore, contractors need to thoroughly grasp the urgency and role of this project. Since then, strengthening human resources, cars, motorbikes, financial resources, the maximum effort to complete the project electricity is not later than 30/4/2024.

Nghe An province, People's Committees of districts have also pledged to be completed and handed over the ground soon, so EVN leaders also requested that the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) should direct the Project Management Board of Northern Power works to have breakthroughs in project management; More closely to localities to speed up the site clearance.

Consider whether or not to set up the infrastructure development fund in the Southeast region

In order to accelerate the construction of transport infrastructure projects connecting the area, especially the ring and highways, the provinces in the Southeast region are studying the plan to establish the Southeastern infrastructure development fund.

Ring Road 3, Ho Chi Minh City is currently being constructed in 4 provinces including Ho Chi Minh City, Long An, Binh Duong and Dong Nai. In the photo construction of Ring Road 3 section passing Ho Chi Minh City -Lanh: Le Toan

At the Conference on Exchange and Cooperation between the 4th Southeast region, the first quarter of 2024, the World Bank's research team and the Ho Chi Minh City Development Research Institute have launched 5 options for establishing the Southeastern Region Infrastructure Development Fund based on Vietnam's legal and practical framework.

In plan 5, there are two options. One is to establish infrastructure development fund in the form of an investment bank operating under the Law on Credit Institutions and current relevant laws. The second is to set up a national investment fund to develop regional infrastructure.

According to the research team, in essence, the 5 above options can be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (short -term, immediate solution) is to improve, upgrade and amend current institutions (local development investment funds and VDB). Group 2 is to establish a new regional infrastructure development fund (medium and long -term solutions).

The World Bank's expert group and the Ho Chi Minh City Development Research Institute agreed that two groups of solutions did not replace each other, but complement each other and need 2 stages for the regional infrastructure development fund model:

In the period of 2024 - 2026, the actions performed in the short term are both upgrading, improving and expanding the scope of activities of local development investment funds in the region.

In particular, the proposal to amend and supplement Article 2, Clause 1, Article 3, Clause 3, Article 15, Article 27 of Decree No. 147/2020/ND-CP of the Government stipulates the organization and operation of the local Development Investment Fund.

At the same time, research and promulgation of criteria applied to local development investment funds in expanding and upgrading investment activities in regional projects.

In addition, reviewing and evaluating HFIC's operating model to make improvements and upgrades in accordance with the scale and development strategy of the Southeast region.

In the period of 2026 - 2030, researching and building a new financial institution for the Southeast region such as: Project on establishing infrastructure development fund in the Southeast region or the National Fund for Investment Investment Infrastructure Development with the chairmanship of the Ministry of Finance and the direct participation of the World Bank expert group.

Currently, localities are discussing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each option before reporting to the competent authority in the second quarter of 2024.
