Working overnight to bring the fishing boat anchorage project in Co To to the finish line

Contractors constructing the storm shelter for fishing boats in Co To island district (Quang Ninh) are working through the night with the determination to finish on schedule.

Construction crews work through the night

On the afternoon of December 7, although it was a weekend, on the route connecting the fishing logistics service area with the route leading to Co To wharf, large trucks were still busy transporting soil and rocks for leveling; rollers and graders quickly leveled the ground.

Up to now, the embankment system along the road has been completed, the road surface has been rolled and compacted about 2/3.

The route connecting Co To port to the wharf is gradually coming into existence.

Next to the road is the dike project to protect the water area, which has also taken shape with a length of about 100m.

In the area where components are cast for the construction of the breakwater, machinery, equipment and human resources are also fully mobilized.

Located on the other side of the big Co To island, the Truong Xuan anchorage and docking area in Dong Tien commune, the construction directions and points are also being rapidly deployed by contractors. Standing on the far shore, one can see the cranes on barges diligently dredging the shipping channel, water area and digging the foundation.

The construction atmosphere is urgent at the site, deploying 3 shifts and 4 crews to speed up progress.

Mr. Luong Van Phong, a road roller driver for Sa Vi Consulting and Construction Joint Stock Company, the construction unit of the shared road, said that Phong is from Dien Bien and has been working on the island for more than a month. Seeing his fellow drivers working hard day and night, Phong also tried to keep up with his colleagues.

"Before coming here, I worked on a project inland, so I haven't been home for 4 months. Although I miss my family, the contractor's overtime policy is very good, so I decided to focus on working so that I can come home during Tet to take care of my family," Phong boasted.

Mr. Vu Van Phap, an officer of the Field Laboratory of the Civil and Industrial Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company, is carrying out technical operations with his colleagues to serve the construction and said: The contractor works day and night, and the testing department is always on site to ensure progress.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Phuong, an officer of the Project Management Department (PMD) under the Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Agricultural and Rural Development Works (PMB) of Quang Ninh shared that this is the construction area of ​​the Storm Shelter Anchorage Area project for fishing boats in Co To island district.

The area of ​​Truong Xuan lagoon is 48.49 hectares with a dredging volume of 1.15 million m3. Here, contractors are arranging 1 dredger, 4 sand suction vessels, 2 grab buckets, 2 rock transport barges, 1 bottom discharge barge, 2 concrete deck excavators... As a result, 37.3% of the project's workload has been achieved.

"At this time, the weather is favorable, so contractors are focusing on maximizing human resources and equipment to work in 3 shifts and 4 teams to speed up the construction progress. The project will be implemented in 24 months, starting in early December 2023. With the current construction speed, the project will definitely be completed on schedule," Mr. Phuong shared.
