In the first days of the new year, in Pha Long commune, the working atmosphere at the construction site of Pha Long Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary and Secondary School is still urgent.
Mr. Tran An Ninh, Construction Site Commander, shared that due to harsh weather conditions, the construction unit arranged flexible shifts according to each favorable time frame. Heavy tasks such as excavating foundations, tying steel reinforcement, pouring foundation concrete, steel processing and preparing materials are deployed in parallel, ensuring that the construction site maintains continuous pace and is not interrupted.
According to Mr. Ninh, the arrangement of shifts is carefully calculated to concentrate construction forces, ensure project progress, and ensure the health of workers.
In the dormitory area, rows of brick foundations are gradually becoming clear. In the classroom area, workers are installing steel reinforcement to prepare for concrete pouring.
