Railway Construction Corporation affirms its brand on each project and construction.

Railway Construction Corporation continues to mark itself as a pioneer construction unit in the Phong Chau new bridge construction project, affirming its brand in the field of investment and construction.

Phong Chau bridge steel span screening, ensuring construction site for new bridge

On January 19, at the construction site of the new Phong Chau bridge investment project ( Phu Tho province), Railway Construction Corporation (RCC) mobilized human resources and equipment to successfully transfer the old bridge's steel truss span No. 5 to the temporary pier according to the planned schedule.

Informing Giao Thong Newspaper, Mr. Vo Van Phuc, General Director of RCC, said that the collapse of Phong Chau bridge due to the impact of storm Yagi caused great damage to people and property, disrupting traffic on National Highway 32C.

RCC mobilized human resources and equipment to move the old Phong Chau bridge steel girder span to the temporary pillar.

The urgent task of overcoming the consequences and accelerating the investment and construction progress of Phong Chau Bridge is to put the project into operation in 2025. To ensure the progress of the new bridge construction, the project of dismantling the remaining part of the old Phong Chau Bridge is very important, requiring urgent and urgent progress to have a site for the construction of the new bridge.

However, the relocation of the steel girder span is very complicated. The span is 66m long, while the construction conditions are on a fast-flowing river, the site is narrow, there are many construction sites at the same time, and the dismantling progress is urgent to serve the construction of the new bridge.

With experience in constructing many railway and road bridge projects, including the relocation of old bridges, RCC was entrusted to carry out this difficult project. The chosen solution was to level the span of the truss to the downstream side to create a flat surface for the construction of the lower structure of the main bridge, then remove the steel truss on the temporary piers of the platform.

"RCC has arranged a team of experienced engineers, skilled workers and the most modern construction equipment, organizing construction in 3 shifts/day to achieve the overall schedule of the project. Up to now, the extremely important part has been completed: Successfully leveling the span, ensuring safety in all aspects," Mr. Phuc said excitedly and informed that RCC will continue to focus on dismantling this steel girder span.

Affirming brand and reputation on railway and road projects

Mr. Phuc emphasized that the screening and dismantling of the old Phong Chau bridge's steel girder span is only a small task but it is of great significance to RCC, as it has contributed to an important and urgent project; at the same time, it continues to affirm RCC's capacity, experience and reputation in the construction of works and projects. Especially in railway construction in general, railway bridges in particular, with similar solutions in special construction conditions: organizing train operations while constructing.

Steel girder span No. 5 of the old Phong Chau bridge has been successfully transferred to a temporary pier, so that the construction contractor has a site to construct the new bridge.

The most notable project of RCC is the construction of Da Phuc bridge Km20+202 on the Dong Anh - Quan Trieu railway line. This is a special railway bridge project, the bridge girder is 110m long, 15m high, the girder weight is 550 tons, constructed under conditions of ensuring railway and waterway traffic safety at the same time. RCC chose the option of installing the girder on the yard, then launching the girder longitudinally across the river (moving longitudinally) on a temporary pier system, then placing the girder horizontally into the train running position (into the center of the line).

Or in 2021, RCC completed Package XL-CY-07: Construction of 13 local bridges from Thua Thien Hue (Km 681+884 bridge) to Quang Ngai (Km 939+419 bridge) under the project of Upgrading weak bridges and reinforcing anti-collision pillars of the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City railway line (7,000 billion VND project). In this package, there is the Km939+419 railway bridge, with a steel girder span of 67.4m, the construction conditions must ensure train safety. RCC has implemented the construction plan to install girders on the excavation floor, then level the girders and train running position.

Most recently, on December 22, 2024, RCC completed the horizontal screening of the 66.4m long, 263-ton steel girder span of Luong Muc bridge Km230+680 on the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City railway line into train running position.

These are just some of the RCC projects that have been successfully constructed over the years. Thereby, maintaining the leading enterprise brand in the railway and road construction market through typical projects.

These are the first-class railway bridge project: Thinh Ky bridge, Km42+272, Hanoi - Pho Lu railway line; special-class railway bridge: Da Phuc bridge, Km20+202, Dong Anh - Quan Trieu railway line; CP 3C package: Project to improve the safety of railway bridges on the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City railway line (ODA capital).

Package 12: Construction of the Babonneau tunnel reinforcement project, the project of reinforcing weak tunnels combined with opening new stations and renovating the upper-level architecture of the Vinh - Nha Trang section, Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City railway line. Package 11A: Construction of reinforcement of tunnels No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, Phu Cu, Chi Thanh, Vung Ro 1, Vung Ro 4 and Bai Gio; Project of reinforcing weak tunnels combined with opening new stations and renovating the upper-level architecture of the Vinh - Nha Trang section, Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City railway line...

Along with that, the road bridges: An Dong Bridge belongs to the coastal road project of Ninh Thuan province, the longest span length is 140m; Nhat Le 2 Bridge, Nhat Le 2 Bridge project in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province; Cua Viet Bridge, Cua Viet Bridge construction investment project, Gio Linh and Trieu Phong districts, Quang Tri province...

Prepare to enter the open railway market

RCC General Director Vo Van Phuc said that to achieve the current achievements and reputation, RCC has had a process of building and growing for more than 50 years associated with the history of railway development and contributed to the development of the country's railway and road infrastructure.

RCC is constructing many project packages worth 7,000 billion to renovate and upgrade the North-South railway.

Railway Construction Corporation, formerly known as the Railway Construction Union Enterprise, was established in 1973, with the task of constructing, renovating, repairing, expanding, and renewing bridges, roads, architecture, and signal information works in the railway industry. After the victory in the spring of 1975, the country was reunified, the unit participated in the construction and restoration of the North-South Reunification Railway and many other works, ensuring smooth railway traffic and serving transportation.

The period 1993-2018 was a period of strong transformation for the corporation. The company achieved outstanding business results, at times reaching over 1,000 billion in output; for many consecutive years, the corporation was in the top VNR 500 (top 500 largest enterprises in Vietnam). In 2018, RCC divested 100% of state capital. From here, RCC entered a new journey full of difficulties and challenges, but still maintained its leading brand in the railway construction and installation sector.

"On February 28, 2023, the Politburo issued Conclusion No. 49-KL/TW on the orientation for the development of Vietnam's railway transport to 2030, with a vision to 2045. On November 30, 2024, the National Assembly approved the policy of investing in high-speed railways on the North-South axis. The Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway construction investment project is being prepared for investment. Along with that are new investment railways according to the planning, urban railways...

This is truly a great opportunity, the railway construction market is wide open, but at the same time it is also full of challenges for businesses, including RCC. To be ready to participate in this market, especially with dynamic projects such as the high-speed railway on the North-South axis, requires a high level of technology and quality of human resources from management to direct construction. RCC determines that it must prepare from now.

"RCC aims to be a pioneer in providing effective solutions for works and projects, developing high-quality human resources through cooperation with partners. Sending staff to study and workers to practice abroad, acquiring technology from countries with developed railways such as Japan, Korea, China, Germany, Norway. Investing in improving the capacity of modern construction equipment.

At the same time, we will continue to restructure the enterprise, promote internal resources, innovate management and investment, increase labor productivity and production and business efficiency, and enhance competitiveness. The goal is sustainable development; building RCC towards a future that always firmly holds the number one position," RCC General Director Vo Van Phuc emphasized.
