Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction is preparing to operate a 10 billion dong tide barrier project to protect the city from flooding.
Officials from the Traffic and Infrastructure Management Center are inspecting drainage systems, culverts, and canals in the project area to ensure the barrier works effectively. The department will install new valves on discharge gates and repair or replace broken ones.
The Department of Construction will coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Environment to ensure that private businesses raise dikes and install tide valves on their land. This cooperation aims to close the entire protective line. Once the project is handed over, the Traffic and Infrastructure Management Center will operate the valves, pumping stations, and gates based on approved procedures.
The project aims to solve tidal flooding for an area of approximately 570km2 in southern and central Ho Chi Minh City. The investor, Trung Nam Group, will provide staff for training and operate the facility for 3 years with an additional 36 month warranty. The system is designed to handle 85.36mm of rain in 3 hours at a tide level of +1.32m.
