Deputy Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee, Duong Duc Tuan, has signed and issued a decision to ensure order, safety, and environmental hygiene during the construction of projects across Hanoi.

This decision aims to maintain order, safety, and environmental hygiene throughout the construction, demolition, repair, and renovation of structures, as well as during the transportation of components, construction materials, and waste within Hanoi. It applies to all departments, agencies under the Hanoi People’s Committee, district-level People’s Committees, investors, contractors, and individuals involved in construction activities.

Hanoi outlines a general principle: construction activities must ensure the safety of people, equipment, and structures within the construction area and its surroundings. Measures must be in place to prevent, mitigate, and respond promptly to potential incidents.

Hanoi’s Old Quarter

Construction must ensure the safety of adjacent structures and surrounding technical infrastructure. Any damage caused to neighboring structures during construction must be compensated and rectified in accordance with regulations.

Environmental hygiene must be maintained throughout construction. Comprehensive measures must be implemented at each stage, including waste collection, packaging, transportation, treatment, and recycling, to minimize dust, noise, vibrations, and other pollutants that may adversely affect the environment and local residents.

All construction activities must comply with current technical standards, regulations, and legal requirements, as well as directives from relevant state management agencies regarding safety and environmental hygiene.

In addition to general regulations, the Hanoi People’s Committee requires investors to clearly outline construction timelines, transportation routes, and material storage locations in their construction plans for projects in the Old Quarter, historic streets, and urban areas. Investors must install fences, signage, and traffic signals, and implement measures to ensure traffic safety. Construction materials, vehicles, and equipment must not encroach on roads or sidewalks beyond permitted areas. Notably, construction projects in these areas must implement measures to reduce dust, noise, and vibrations, particularly between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM, and from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM, except in emergencies.

For projects near classified historical and cultural sites or landmarks, investors must develop specific plans to avoid impacting the site’s space, landscape, views, or architectural and aesthetic value. Construction methods must minimize vibrations, noise, dust, and other negative effects. On-site supervisors must coordinate with heritage management authorities throughout the construction process.

For technical infrastructure projects (water supply, drainage, electricity, telecommunications, lighting, and transportation), investors must ensure uninterrupted and safe operation of existing systems during construction. Upgrades and renovations must seamlessly integrate with the current technical infrastructure network.
