Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh Dung, Deputy Director of the City Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that the project has a total investment of nearly 240 billion VND from the city budget with a total area of about 8,800 m2.
Construction started in December 2022 with the scale of building a tidal culvert at the head of Cau Sap canal connecting to Can Giuoc river. This is an open culvert made of reinforced concrete with a width of 15m, opened and closed by hydraulic cylinders, combined with prestressed sheet piles.
When the tide rises, the SUS 304 steel gate operated by a hydraulic cylinder closes, preventing water from the Can Giuoc River from overflowing into Cau Sap canal, causing flooding in residential areas. When the tide falls, the gate is opened to regulate the water.

In addition, the project will build a dike line running along the left bank of the tidal sluice from Cau Sap canal to Can Giuoc river, closing the dike at the head of the canal from Can Giuoc river to Nguyen Van Linh street.
According to Mr. Dung, this is a project to prevent high tides and flooding in Ward 7, District 8 and Phong Phu Commune, Binh Chanh District. These localities have natural characteristics of many rivers and canals, low terrain, so flooding often occurs, affecting people's lives and travel.
Furthermore, the project is also synchronously connected with the project to solve tidal flooding in Ho Chi Minh City area taking into account climate change factors (phase 10 with a budget of nearly 10,000 billion VND to solve flooding for an area of 570km² with about 6.5 million people, on the right bank of the Saigon River and the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
