The actual recording of PV on June 28 shows that all 4 pillars of the dam have been completed. Roof areas, machinery storage facilities, and bridge connections have also been formed. The water level of the Bang River is also more stable thanks to the regulation of the dam's water surge.
Previously, in May 2023, the People's Council of Cao Bang province issued Resolution No. 20 approving the investment policy for the Cao Bang city dam construction project.
The investment goal of the project is to raise and stabilize the water level for the Bang River, create a landscape in the city center and facilitate the exploitation of surface water for production and daily life in the riverside area.
After the dam is built, it will create an open, spacious water surface space to regulate the climate, improve the ecological environment, develop services, tourism on the river and on both sides of the river.
The water-upprising dam helps reduce the increase in the river water level, increase the stability of the riverbank, reduce the flow rate, and minimize landslides.
Regulate water levels in the dry season by using flat valve gates and returning flood drainage aperture almost to the natural river, ensuring flood drainage capacity.
The project belongs to group B project with a total investment of 150 billion VND from the local budget supplemented by development investment expenditure invested by the Cao Bang City Investment and Construction Project Management Board.
According to information from the People's Committee of Cao Bang City, the locality set a target of completing this project by April 30, but then could not do so in time. On the occasion of April 30, the project was only put into trial operation and since then the construction has continued.
"Up to now, the dam body has been 99% completed, now the contractor is carrying out the cleaning and renovation, and may later deploy some additional decorative items" - said the investor representative.
Mr. Hoang Van Quang (Cao Bang city) - shared: "The dam will perform a good function of flood drainage, avoid flooding, stabilize people's lives and if there are real boat docks on the river, this will be a new development direction for the locality".
