Speed ​​up the progress of flood and storm prevention projects

(Baonghean.vn) - AlthoughAlthough budget conditions are still difficult,districtNghi Loc has directed to speed up the progress of many projects, completing projects early before the 2016 storm season.

Currently, the district is implementing 21 projects, including 10 flood and storm prevention projects. The district People's Committee urges contractors to clearly identify priority and critical items for construction. For projects under construction, contractors focus on speeding up progress, making detailed plans to request support from superiors for funding, and completing the project soon. With funding, contractors take advantage of the sunny weather to mobilize human and material resources for construction.

Up to now, the project to repair and upgrade the left Cam River dike section through Nghi Hung commune has completed over 75% of the work. The right Cam River dike section through Nghi Thuan and Nghi Long communes has also completed 85% of the work. The projects to repair and upgrade the level III canal system of dams and pumping stations in 10 communes in the district have also reached over 50% of the work.

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Loc - Director of Nghi Loc District Construction Investment Project Management Board said: "The biggest difficulty in implementing construction projects is the lack of capital to pay contractors. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has Directive 07 on strengthening measures to handle outstanding debts in basic construction using public investment capital, Nghe An Provincial People's Committee has issued a document directing investors not to force contractors to construct when capital has not been arranged."

Therefore, to construct some weak projects while lacking capital, contractors mobilized their own capital and made efforts to complete the projects before the 2016 storm season.

Among these is the project to upgrade and expand the road from Nghi Kieu commune (Nghi Loc) to Dai Son commune (Do Luong). To implement the project, the district and Nghi Kieu commune authorities mobilized over 20 households living on both sides of the road to voluntarily donate over 2,000 square meters of garden land and over 1,000 meters of fence. Although only 2 billion VND has been allocated out of the total capital of 15 billion VND for the project, considering that this is a key project, meeting the urgent travel needs of the people of Nghi Kieu and Dai Son communes, the contractor, Thai Son Construction and Trading Company, invested 13 billion VND to construct the road. Therefore, in early May, the entire 3.3 km long road was completed and put into use, 7 months ahead of schedule.

The 2.5 km long road from National Highway 1A to the flood area of ​​Nghi Van commune has been upgraded since 2014 with a total capital of 24 billion 392 million VND. After more than a year of construction, the investor, the District People's Committee, has only met the budget of nearly 4 billion VND to rebuild Ngoi bridge on the route. Lack of capital has led to prolonged construction, causing public frustration. To overcome this situation, Hoang Son Construction Company Limited has also invested capital to construct the road, and by June 30, 2016, the road was completed as planned.

There is not much time left until the rainy season, so contractors and authorities at all levels are urgently speeding up construction projects in Nghi Loc district, striving to complete 7/10 flood prevention projects before the 2016 rainy season.
