According to reporters' records on May 5, the 9-story hotel next to Hoan Kiem Lake is being demolished.
The entire facade of the project is surrounded by two large layers of tarpaulin extending from the roof to the foot of the project. This "armure" layer both isolates the construction site from crowded areas and limits dust and materials from spilling into the surrounding environment.
Inside, demolition activities began to be carried out from the top floors. On the roof of the building, excavators with hydraulic hammers continuously chiseled large concrete slabs. After being loosened, the materials were collected and then pushed downwards, forming large piles of waste in the construction site.
At the bottom, machinery continues to level and collect waste, and the water spraying system is maintained to reduce dust.
Accelerating the demolition progress of this project is one of the important steps to complete site clearance for the Hoan Kiem Lake East square and park project - a project with a scale of more than 2.1ha with a total investment of trillions of VND.
