On May 11, Mr. Vuong Quoc Thiet, Director of the Irrigation Investment and Construction Management Board 8 (Board 8, under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), confirmed that he was sending forces to inspect, clarify the cause and fix the cracks at bid package No. 13 (dam item No. 1), belonging to the Krong Pach Thuong reservoir project.
Mr. Thiet added that the above package is under construction, has reached about 90% of the volume and has not been accepted. The package has cracks due to the construction by contractor HD.

Regarding the cause of the cracks, Mr. Le Khac Tuyen, Deputy Director of Department 8, said that the construction unit was a bit slow in cutting the joints (dividing the concrete slabs into individual cells) during the concrete pouring process, causing the cracks. "The Department has inspected, made a report and will handle and replace the cracked slabs in the near future," Mr. Tuyen said.
Previously, people had reported to the press that at the Krong Pach Thuong reservoir project, many cracks appeared in the concrete part of dam No. 1.
Cracks on the dam face
According to Thanh Nien 's records, horizontal and vertical cracks appeared at the concrete slabs at Dam No. 1, some of which extended several meters into the middle of the dam. According to observations, many cracked concrete slabs had been filled with asphalt. In addition, many other places also had long cracks, hairline cracks, and had not been filled with asphalt.
According to the documents, the Krong Pach Thuong reservoir project was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in May 2009, aiming to provide irrigation water for 14,900 hectares of agricultural land and domestic water for 73,000 people in the districts of Ea Kar, Krong Pak and M'Drak of Dak Lak province.
However, due to funding difficulties, the project had to be delayed and extended many times. Up to now, the total investment of the project has been increased to 4,400 billion VND, with Board 8 as the investor.
