The dirt road leads to column 368, located in500kV transmission line projectCircuit 3 passing through Nghi Van commune, Nghi Loc district became muddy and collapsed after the heavy rain on June 25. However, the road surface has many footprints of workers constructing this pole position.

Regardless of the hot or rainy weather of Nghe An, ensuring the progress of this key project is always the top priority of the construction teams of the Electricity industry.

After following the personal protection regulations: wearing a hat, gloves, shoes and a seat belt, holding the necessary items in hand, the nearly 100 meter high crane slowly lifted Mr. Nguyen Cong Duong - a construction worker at column 368 up. At the 5th section of the column, Mr. Duong clung to the steel bar, holding a large wrench to tighten each fist-sized screw to ensure it was as secure as possible.

Mr. Duong shared: Column 368 started construction on June 12, coinciding with the timehotThis is a record in the area so the brothers worked very hard. For the past two days (June 24-25), there have been heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms, so they could not climb the poles regularly, and the pole erection work was interrupted. However, with a high spirit of determination, whenever the weather was favorable, the brothers proactively made up for it, encouraged each other to try to complete the task, and bring the project to the finish line on time.

The position of column 368 is 70 meters high, the ground area is about 400m22including 11 trunk sections. Up to now, the construction units have completed the assembly of 5 trunk sections, striving to complete the erection of the poles and proceed with the wire pulling before June 30. This is one of the important pole positions in Nghi Loc district as well as the 500kV line 3 through Nghe An.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan,Nghe An Electricity CompanyConstruction workers at this column location said: For more than 10 days, about 20 workers here have been working with the spirit of overcoming the sun and rain.

Every day, everyone has to hang on the "giant" steel truss, concentrating on completing the column. This is a job that requires meticulousness, high technique, and making sure everything is done properly. The higher the height, the stronger the wind, and the more difficult the reassembly. There are times when the wind is strong or there is a thunderstorm, so we have to climb down and cannot continue construction because we have to ensure the safety of the workers.

Mr. Doan Van Dung - Chairman of Nghi Van Commune People's Committee said: In the commune, there are currently 11 pole positions passing through the 500Kv line project, circuit 3. Understanding the hardships and difficulties of the workers, in the past time, the local government and organizations have had activities to support and encourage the workers such as supporting drinking water, food, accompanying the units and workers in implementing this national key project. Hoping that the workers will work safely and the project will be completed on schedule.
