According to the investor of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway Component 1 project, the unit has reminded 4 contractors about the slow construction. After March 20, if the mobilization of equipment and personnel is not guaranteed, they will be warned and handled according to the contract.
Many contractors lack equipment and personnel on site.
Mr. Ngo The An, Director of Dong Nai Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway component 1 project has only achieved 22% of its output so far, behind schedule. The reason for the delay is due to previous land acquisition issues.
In recent days, the locality has been actively involved in speeding up site clearance to hand over to the investor. Therefore, the Project Management Board has asked contractors to increase equipment and human resources to speed up construction, making up for the slow progress before. However, according to him, many contractors are slow to mobilize, even procrastinating, despite being reminded many times.
The Project Management Board has reminded and requested 4 contractors to speed up construction of the section through Bien Hoa City when more land is being handed over than before.
"The Project Management Board is reminding four slow contractors: Construction Corporation No. 1 (CC1), Trung Nam Company, Hoa Binh 479 Company and Hai Dang Company. We urge the remaining contractors to implement the spirit of "3 shifts, 4 shifts", taking advantage of the dry season weather to make up for the slow progress. By March 20, any contractor who fails to fix the problem will be warned," said Mr. An.
Previously, Dong Nai provincial leaders, along with the Department of Construction and the Project Management Board, made surprise inspections of the construction site many times. The most recent was on March 4, when the inspection showed that many contractors had not met the requirements on progress, and the number of equipment and human resources was limited.
Dong Nai province authorities are increasing manpower to speed up site clearance and handover to investors and contractors.
Component project 1 of Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, section from Km 0+000 - Km 16+000, is divided into package 18 (through Bien Hoa city, more than 6km long) and package 21 (through Long Thanh district, about 10km long).
In package 21, Lizen Joint Stock Company has the best progress, having paved about 2km, some sections are being reinforced with cement concrete. Next, Construction Joint Stock Company 368 is still constructing 3 main bridges and 1 overpass, basically meeting the requirements.
The section constructed by Truong Son Company has basic machinery and equipment that meets requirements, but the functional unit has requested reinforcement to speed up progress.
At package 18, at the time of inspection, Truong Son Construction Corporation had sufficient machinery and human resources according to the bidding documents. However, to ensure the progress of the project before December 31, the investor requested additional equipment and workers. The unit committed that if the site was fully allocated in March 2025, it would complete the project on schedule.
Construction Service and Trading Joint Stock Company 68 has completed the K95 earthworks, with 4 excavators, 2 bulldozers, 1 grader, 9 road rollers and 10 dump trucks at the time of inspection. The inspection team requested to add at least 15 more road rollers to increase the construction.
Hoa Binh 479 Joint Stock Company is constructing bridges on the main route, but at the time of inspection, it was noted that it had not yet started construction and there was no machinery at the construction site. Currently, the company has only constructed the bridge girder casting yard at Km 5+069 with 1 excavator and 10 workers.
The Project Management Board has sent two documents to the contractor to review the possibility of performing the contract, recover the advance payment and jointly report to the Department of Construction. According to the investor's report, the work of this unit is behind schedule. At the time of the inspection, the representative of Hoa Binh 479 Joint Stock Company was absent from the construction site.
What do contractors say and promise?
Contractor leaders said that the main reason for the delay is that the site has not been handed over enough, making it difficult to implement on the ground.
Mr. Vo Cong Giang, Deputy General Director of Hoa Binh 479 Joint Stock Company, explained that the difficulty for contractors is that they are still stuck with land acquisition at important locations, and have to work while waiting for land acquisition.
"Many people have not been relocated, and there are also high-voltage power lines. The unit has brought drilling machines to the site and mobilized personnel, but has only deployed a few piles and cannot do it all at once. We are committed to speeding up construction once we have the space," said Mr. Giang.
The section constructed by CC1 Company was also warned because it did not meet progress requirements, and the construction site did not have a "3-shift, 4-shift" atmosphere.
Similarly, Mr. Tran Van Pha, Director of Construction and Installation Division of Construction Corporation No. 1 (CC1), said that currently, the locations that need to drill piles to treat weak ground are still facing many obstacles, making it impossible to mobilize equipment for simultaneous construction.
A representative of Hai Dang Joint Stock Company also informed that within a 1.3km radius, the construction unit still has more than 100 households that have not yet handed over the site.
Although the unit has a good construction speed, the representative of Lizen company also said that due to the land issue, the construction cannot be accelerated. If the land is handed over in March, the unit's work will be completed in June.
Site clearance work through Dong Nai is being accelerated to speed up construction, making up for slow progress.
In addition to the site, contractors also reported a lack of earthen materials, making construction difficult. Some units such as Trung Nam Construction and Installation Joint Stock Company mobilized construction equipment, concentrated at Km 5+700, but did not have enough earthen resources even though the unit searched for many different sources.
"There will be land this week, we are bringing in more motorbikes for construction, trying to finish the dry season to complete the main work. Besides, the contractor also hopes to receive support for filling stone soon because the stone distribution is still small, difficult to meet the demand at this stage", Mr. Tran Van Pha suggested.
According to the reporter's records, up to now, over 83% of the expressway land through Bien Hoa city has been handed over, and over 93% of the section through Long Thanh district. In Bien Hoa, there are still nearly 400 households that have not been relocated, while in Long Thanh district, there are only over 100 households. Compared to about a month ago, the amount of land cleared for handover to investors has increased significantly.
Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway is about 53.7km long. Of which, the section through Dong Nai province is about 34.2km; Ba Ria - Vung Tau province is nearly 20km. Currently, component 1 and component 2 projects through Dong Nai have only reached over 20% of output and are still facing difficulties with land and embankment. The section through Ba Ria - Vung Tau alone is over 74%.
