On the afternoon of September 10, at the construction site of the drainage line, there were 2 teams of workers installing drainage pipes on 1/5 Street, Phu Hai Ward and Nguyen Thong Street branch.
After digging the ground, large pipes are lowered into the trench, supports are installed, the connectors are aligned and concrete is poured into the joints.
The Binh Thuan Province Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Project Management Board has mobilized a large number of workers to speed up the construction. Because when it rains, the drainage system is not yet complete, a large amount of rainwater from Vo Nguyen Giap Street will flow down to Nguyen Thong Street, bringing sand, causing red sand floods to continuously flow down the street on September 3, 4 and 5. Although the locality has implemented temporary solutions such as building stone embankments, they only temporarily block the flow.
Mr. Nguyen Minh Nguyen, Deputy Director of the Management Board of Investment and Construction of Civil and Industrial Works of Binh Thuan province, said that to speed up the construction progress by dividing into 2 construction teams and these 2 teams will be connected together, the construction progress time will end on September 30, 2024, to facilitate the settlement of drainage route No. 1 for people in the downstream area and Nguyen Thong street area.
Although the construction was urgent, according to records, the details placed in the sewer were all measured correctly by workers.
"There is still a short section left, we will try to finish the construction by the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, connect to construction point number 2 and complete the drainage line," a worker at the construction site shared.
As Lao Dong reported, heavy rain and water from the high hills on Vo Nguyen Giap Street (706B) overflowed, carrying red sand from along 706B Street down to Nguyen Thong Street, causing local flooding. The strong floodwaters carried a large amount of red sand onto the road.
The reason is that the stormwater drainage system in the area has not been connected to the drainage line of exit 1, road 706B, so the overflowing water carries red sand and mud from the high hills down to the lowlands. Therefore, the units are speeding up the construction to complete the drainage line as soon as possible to end the situation of sand flooding during heavy rains.
