Hai Duong industrial zones overcome storms and floods, stabilize production

Dai An Joint Stock Company proactively develops plans to prevent flooding in industrial parks.

Together to overcome difficulties

Typhoon No. 3 (Yagi) has just passed, the clean and green roads of many industrial parks in Hai Duong province are no longer shaded by trees as before. Many factories have had their roofs blown off, their surrounding walls collapsed, and the risk of flooding due to prolonged rain after the storm is evident. However, the staff, workers, and laborers have unanimously repaired and cleaned up the factories to have a place to work and produce.

Suntel Vina Co., Ltd. (Dai An Industrial Park, Cam Giang) is an FDI enterprise from Korea, specializing in manufacturing electronic components for export. The enterprise is focusing on completing over 10 orders. Storm No. 3 damaged over 400 m2 of the factory roof. Most production departments had to be rearranged to ensure continued operations.

Workers of Suntel Vina Co., Ltd. focus on cleaning the factory.

According to the representative of Suntel Vina Co., Ltd., heavy rain and rising floodwaters have made it difficult to travel and move materials, and it may take the company a month to complete repairs. The factory lost its roof, so the production space was narrowed, many machines were wet and broken... The company has encouraged employees to overcome the situation and work together to overcome it. The company is striving to do its best not to greatly affect the jobs of all 300 employees.

By noon on September 11, rainwater had accumulated and flooded some internal roads in the Dai An Industrial Park expansion (phase I), affecting the production of all 44 enterprises renting the land. Water began to overflow into the yards of some enterprises, and workers and laborers gathered to pump and drain the water.

According to Mr. Luong Thanh Phong, Deputy Manager of Dai An Industrial Park, Lot XL18 is the lowest land area, so it collects water from the whole area. The flood and storm prevention team of Dai An Joint Stock Company has focused on pumping to drain and prevent flooding from this "water source".

Dai An Joint Stock Company - the investor of both Dai An and Dai An expanded industrial parks, with a total area of ​​551 hectares, currently has 87 projects investing in building factories and organizing production. The company's on-site force has sent 60 people to directly pump out water, overcome the consequences, and replant trees, while 40 people are on standby ready to perform the task.

“At the Dai An Industrial Park expansion, 10 factories had their roofs blown off, causing damage at different levels. Some of them were factories that we built for rent. We are working closely with business owners to repair these factories in order to quickly restore production,” Mr. Phong added.

The investor of Cong Hoa Industrial Park, Vietnam Rubber Urban and Industrial Park Development Joint Stock Company, has implemented many measures to support enterprises leasing land to ensure stable production. The company's technical team has proactively dredged the streams and lowered the buffer water in the drainage system. Plans to provide lighting with backup generators have been deployed for a number of enterprises affected by the storm. In low-lying areas where water is likely to overflow and flood the roads, the company has used sandbags to create water-retaining walls; arranged security forces to guard the entrances and exits of the industrial park and put up warning signs at deeply flooded areas, and closed roads at some intersections with ponds covered by water hyacinths...

Don't be subjective or negligent.

Many businesses use mini pumps to pump water in yards and factories.

Mr. Pham Trung Thai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Rubber Urban and Industrial Zone Development Joint Stock Company, said: “We have prepared proactive plans to prevent heavy rain and strong winds. The top priority now is to effectively support customers who rent land to build factories and organize stable production.”

Vietnam Rubber Urban and Industrial Zone Development Joint Stock Company requested the People's Committee of Hai Duong province to have a plan to arrange the construction of a forced flood drainage pumping station for the areas of Cong Hoa, Van Duc, Hoang Tan wards, including Cong Hoa industrial park. The People's Committee of Chi Linh city urgently directed the local government to coordinate with the investor to handle problems related to dredging the flow of canals and ditches outside the industrial park, proactively responding to incidents caused by nature.

Many industrial zones use water pumps to prevent flooding.

According to the report of the Hai Duong Industrial Park Management Board, after storm No. 3, 58 enterprises in the industrial parks were affected by damage. Many enterprises had their factory and warehouse roofs blown off, and their rolling doors, glass doors, lamp posts, etc. were damaged. Some roads in Phuc Dien Industrial Park were blocked due to insufficient drainage, causing billions of dong in damage to enterprises. The industrial park infrastructure investor has proactively implemented many remedial measures, but there are still many difficulties.

By September 12, most industrial parks such as Lai Vu, Kim Thanh, Phuc Dien, Dai An... were flooded on the roads leading to them. Many places had water inundating the factory yard. Industrial park infrastructure investors have placed warning signs of dangerous areas for workers to move safely.

Although storms and floods caused damage and difficulties for many businesses, most production activities still took place normally.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang, Deputy Head of the Hai Duong Industrial Park Management Board, immediately after the storm, the board organized an inspection of the damage situation in industrial parks in the province and grasped the flooding situation. At the same time, it requested infrastructure investors to proactively have flood prevention plans, not to be subjective or negligent in the face of the storm and flood situation. The board requested the electricity sector to actively coordinate with enterprises investing in the construction of industrial park infrastructure, enterprises with projects in industrial parks to overcome incidents, ensuring power supply for enterprises to stabilize production. Enterprises proactively take measures to block rising water to protect production areas, prioritize protecting people, and minimize property damage.
