According to local residents, recently, along the beach in Quang Cu ward, Sam Son city ( Thanh Hoa province), the railing system on the breakwater has rusted and broken, posing a potential risk to safety and aesthetics in this tourist area.

Nearly 1km of iron fence on the seawall through Quang Cu ward is rusted and damaged, causing loss of safety and aesthetics.

Actual records show that, for nearly 1km along the breakwater, there is a shabby image of the protective railing system and iron walking stairs. Many places have broken railing bases, leaving exposed screw joints, creating dangerous gaps.

There are many rusty pieces of iron falling off and looking messy. The steps up and down the beach are oxidized and corroded, making them unsafe for people and tourists.

The project has a total investment of more than 250 billion VND from the central budget supported by the Climate Change Response Program (SP-RCC), the provincial budget and other legally mobilized capital sources of the People's Committee of Sam Son town.

The stairs connecting the top of the embankment to the beach were corroded by sea water, creating a large hole.

In the design, the railing has a hot-dip galvanized steel structure, then painted with 3 layers, the railing segment is 150cm long. The railing column is made of square steel (100x100x2.8)mm, the top of the column is sealed.

The horizontal bar of the railing is made of 34 square steel (40x80x2.8)mm welded to the railing post. The vertical bar of the railing is made of square steel (20x20x1.5)mm welded to two horizontal bars. The decorative flowers are made of solid square steel (12x12)mm welded to the vertical bar and horizontal bar.

It is known that the monument "The Ship Gathering to the North" will start construction at the end of August 2022 and be completed in early September 2024.

It was noted that at the monument's grounds, the protective railing system was powder coated, but after a short time, signs of rust and corrosion appeared at the welds and screw bases.

Speaking with Giao Thong Newspaper, Mr. Mai Thanh Dong, Head of the Economic , Infrastructure and Urban Department of Sam Son City, said that it is true that there is damage to the iron railing system at the breakwater in Quang Cu ward.
