📋 Tender Overview
The 220kV line project connecting Nghia Lo - Viet Tri 500kV substation is in a sprint stage, with contractors speeding up the construction progress, striving to reach the finish line as soon as possible. According to the plan, this is one of the projects launched by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) to speed up the completion schedule in 2025.

The project has a scale of 2 circuits with a length of nearly 94 km, passing through Yen Bai and Phu Tho provinces. Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh - Deputy Director of CPMB said: Up to now, the project has completed handing over 256 foundation locations, handing over 112/256 column spaces (corresponding to 40/96 corridor anchor spaces). Regarding the construction progress, 253 positions have been cast in foundations, 175 positions have been erected, 256/256 poles have been handed over to the construction site and wire pulling is being organized. Currently on the route, there are many teams and construction teams synchronously erecting poles and pulling ropes. According to CPMB, during the implementation process, the project encountered difficulties mainly in site clearance compensation (BTGPMB). The merged communes have just come into operation, so the local procedures and unit prices for land clearance compensation are waiting to be re-issued. Along with that, localities are having difficulty with human resources in implementing procedures for BTGPMB. CPMB is coordinating closely with local authorities to step by step remove specific problems to ensure construction site availability. Accordingly, CPMB also requested units participating in the project to increase compensation staff to coordinate with localities to inventory and consider land origin to prepare compensation plans for approval; Organize to mobilize households to hand over the foundation site; Increase human resources and equipment to focus on constructing poles and pulling wires simultaneously at all positions and current pole intervals. CPMB has submitted a written report and registered to work with the leaders of Lao Cai Provincial Peoples Committee to give direction and remove obstacles to speed up the progress of the construction work for the project. A representative of the construction unit said: Recently, the area has been continuously affected by stormy weather, which has had a great impact on the construction work. At the same time, human resources are scattered due to the construction of other urgent key projects of the Electricity industry. However, the unit has mobilized a sufficient number of teams and machinery to speed up construction, determined to complete the project to meet the investors requirements. High determination, great efforts to bring the project to the finish line. Once completed, the project will help release capacity from small and medium-sized hydroelectric plants in the Northwest region. In addition, it also helps reduce capacity loss in the transmission grid, strengthen regional power system connectivity, improve safety, reliability and stability when operating the regional and national power system, meeting the load needs of industry, commerce, services, daily life and other activities of the Northwest region. At the same time, the project contributes to strengthening power system connectivity, increasing safety, operational flexibility and stability of the national power system; Strengthening electricity security for the North as early as 2025. RELATED NEWS At a recent project progress review meeting, Mr. Truong Huu Thanh, Deputy General Director of EVNNPT assessed that despite many efforts in recent times, the construction site has not met the overall progress target of the project. To ensure the project completion schedule according to EVNs requirements, EVNNPT Deputy General Director Truong Huu Thanh requested the entire construction site to be highly determined and make great efforts to bring the project back destination. Specifically, EVNNPT leaders assigned CPMB leaders to regularly stay at the construction site, focus on directing and operating to ensure completion of foundation casting for the entire line no later than October 20, 2025. Complete column erection for the entire line no later than October 25, 2025; Complete pulling the entire line no later than November 10, 2025 to conduct acceptance and energization in November 2025. Difficulties and problems must be resolved promptly at the construction site. Along with that, CPMB needs to proactively follow up and coordinate with local authorities, relevant departments and branches to remove obstacles in the BTGPMB, organize propaganda to mobilize households to agree with the project. Deputy General Director of EVNNPT requested CPMB to meet with each construction contractor of the project, based on specific progress milestones to urge construction management. At the same time, contractors are required to carry out construction simultaneously to ensure the required progress milestones. At the same time, they are assigned to construction contractors to mobilize all resources with full human resources, construction machines, etc. to construct simultaneously, erect pillars in parallel at positions, pull wires at anchor intervals, and ensure energizing the project according to requirements. EVNNPTs specialized departments regularly grasp the construction situation on the construction site to work with CPMB to resolve problems; Timely reporting and consultationLeadin
