Urgent construction of 500Kv line 3 project through Nghe An in harsh weather
After the heavy rain on June 25, workers in the Electricity industry fastened their safety belts and swung themselves at a height of tens of meters to carry out the construction task of the 500Kv line 3 project through Nghe An.
The dirt road leads to column 368, located at500kV transmission line projectRoute 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 location.
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 personal protection regulations: wearing a hat, gloves, shoes and a seat belt, and carrying necessary items in hand, the nearly 100 meter high crane slowly lifted Mr. Nguyen Cong Duong - a worker working at column 368 up. At the 5th section of the column, Mr. Duong held onto 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 timehotrecord 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 it was impossible to climb the pole 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, encouraging each other to try to complete the task, bringing the project to the finish line on time.

The location of column 368 is 70 meters high, with a ground area of about 400m2.2including 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 at this column location said: For more than 10 days, about 20 workers here have been working hard 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 firmly. The higher the height, the stronger the wind, the more difficult the reassembly. There are times when the wind is strong or there is a thunderstorm, forcing us to climb down and not be able to 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. Wishing the workers to work safely and the project to be completed on schedule.

The 500kV 3-circuit line project through Nghe An province has a total length of 99.99 km with 202 pole foundation locations and 88 anchorages. It includes 2 component projects: the 500kV Quang Trach - Quynh Luu line, approximately 82.33 km long, 168 pole foundation locations, and the 500kV Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa line, approximately 17.5 km long, 34 pole foundation locations. This is a key, urgent project, playing a particularly important role in national energy security.


According to the report of the Department of Industry and Trade, as of June 25, the project passing through Nghe An has completed the foundation casting of 202/202 positions. For the column section, 94 column positions have been completed, 79 column positions are being constructed, and 29 positions have completed the foundation casting, but have not yet moved to the column erection step.

For the wire pulling part, the province has completed the wire pulling at intersection 337 - 338 in Nam Dan district. The wire pulling is underway at column 409 - 419 in Dien Thai commune (VT 409), Dien Dong (VT 410), Dien Lien (VT 411 to 416), Dien Chau district; Tho Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district (VT 417,418,419). Strive to complete the project on schedule.
Given the importance and urgency of the 500kV line circuit 3, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh regularly requested Vietnam Electricity Group and the National Power Transmission Corporation to join in the spirit of "overcoming the sun and conquering the rain"; "eating and sleeping quickly"; "working in 3 shifts, 4 shifts"; "working through holidays and Tet", striving to complete the project in June 2024.
