Mr. Duong Quang Dien – Deputy Permanent Director of the Project Management Board – said: “Currently, the construction progress of the bid packages is very good. During the holiday, the contractors coordinated with the Project Management Board to arrange the appropriate construction frequency. On the occasion of the April 30-May 1 holiday this year, engineers and workers still stayed, working on the construction site…”.
Long Thanh Airport Passenger Terminal has completed the underground and embankment.
Accordingly, the contractors have mobilized nearly 5,000 cadres, engineers, and workers along with thousands of equipment and machinery to construct the project’s bid packages. On the construction site, workers and engineers still work in 3 shifts and 4 teams, spread across many items such as the passenger terminal, connecting roads, runways, taxiways, and aircraft parking aprons.
The passenger terminal project has completed the underground part, backfill, foundation, and spread the bedding sand according to the design documents. In addition, this item has also closed the tunnel cover, completed 100% of the 1st floor pillars, and is currently implementing the installation of formwork, steel, and concrete floor for the 1st floor.
At the construction site of the connecting road T1, T2, engineers, and workers are focusing on constructing bridge piers, producing super T-beams, mixing crushed stone, and making a civil underpass. For this item, the contractors have mobilized 630 personnel and 196 machines to work throughout the holiday.
According to the plan, the project will complete the installation of super T-beams before October 2024 and complete the pavement, lighting, and handrails before July 2025.
