Striving to complete the Nam Mo river embankment project in January 2025

According to the Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Agricultural Works and Rural Development, Nghe An Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Nam Mo River embankment construction project is focusing on completing the final items.

According to the reporter's records, on January 20, there were many machines and workers constructing embankment items on the Nam Mo River such as installing reinforced concrete slopes, reinforcing the embankment top surface, and reinforcing the wall base with sturdy stone gabions to prevent landslides and erosion... at an urgent pace, especially as Tet is approaching.

Mr. Thai Van Hung - Deputy Director of Nghe An Agricultural and Rural Development Construction Investment Project Management Board said that up to now, the overall progress of the Nam Mo river embankment project has reached over 90% and the unit has also requested contractors to increase machinery and equipment, take advantage of favorable weather conditions to work overtime, increase shifts to speed up the progress, striving to complete in January 2025.

According to research, on March 15, 2024, the Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 567/QD-UBND approving the project adjustment and adjusting the contractor selection plan for the project: Nam Mo River embankment through block 4, block 5, Muong Xen town. The total length of the embankment is 2,420m, of which the right bank embankment is 1,118m long, the left bank embankment is 1,302m long. The project is divided into 4 construction packages 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D with a total construction value of over 87 billion VND.

This is an extremely necessary and urgent project to limit the consequences of natural disasters and floods, especially landslides, contributing significantly to ensuring the safety of life and property for households in Block 4 and Block 5 of Muong Xen town, protecting economic and social infrastructure works in the area; at the same time, contributing to the successful implementation of 3 national target programs in the poor mountainous district of Ky Son.

According to the original plan, the project was expected to be completed on December 31, 2024. However, in reality, this project was forced to move to 2025. The reason is that during the construction period, the project encountered many unfavorable weather conditions, especially in September, October, and November, when there was a lot of rain in Ky Son, the river water rose, and the hydroelectric plants had to regulate water, causing the construction to be affected...

However, up to now, the weather difficulties have been overcome, the project is completing the final stages, people living along the Nam Mo River, Ky Son district are very excited in the first days of the new year because from now on, they will have less worries about landslides during the rainy and stormy season.
