xổ số miền trung FECON OFFICIALLY OPERATES TBM “TAO BAO”, ACCELERATING TUNNELING PROGRESS FOR METRO LINE 3 PROJECT – HANOI

On February 3, 2025, FECON Corporation, in collaboration with xổ số miền trung Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) and xổ số miền trung Hyundai - Ghella Joint Venture (HGU), officially launched xổ số miền trung second Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), named "Tao Bao," for xổ số miền trung underground section of xổ số miền trung Nhon – Hanoi Station urban railway pilot project (Metro Line 3).

Previously, TBM 1, named "Than Toc," began drilling at xổ số miền trung end of July 2024. Currently, it has completed 985 meters of tunneling.

Like TBM 1, TBM 2 starts operating from S9 Station (Kim Ma) at a depth of 17.8 meters. xổ số miền trung TBM 2 will accelerate to a standard speed of about 10 m/day to reach xổ số miền trung next stations.

According to xổ số miền trung plan, xổ số miền trung total duration from xổ số miền trung commencement of TBM 1 to xổ số miền trung completion of TBM 2 is 16 months. Upon reaching S12 Station, xổ số miền trung TBMs will be dismantled, and xổ số miền trung auxiliary equipment system will be pulled back and dismantled at S9 - Kim Ma Station.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Bao, Deputy General Director of FECON, stated: "FECON has meticulously prepared all necessary resources, including materials, equipment, technical expertise, and workforce, while also conducting thorough safety and technical assessments to ensure xổ số miền trung successful operation of TBM 2 following xổ số miền trung project schedule. By concentrating our efforts, we aim to collaborate closely with all parties to maintain xổ số miền trung tunneling progress, contributing to xổ số miền trung project's timely completion." 

xổ số miền trung operation of TBM 2 marks a significant milestone and serves as a great encouragement for FECON and xổ số miền trung entire project. 

As a subcontractor directly operating xổ số miền trung tunnel drilling by TBM, in addition to xổ số miền trung experience accumulated and learned from xổ số miền trung Ho Chi Minh City - Metro Line 1 Project (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien), at xổ số miền trung Hanoi urban railway pilot project, Nhon - Hanoi station section, FECON subcontractor has technical support from xổ số miền trung team of experts from Tunnel Pro, a leading TBM construction unit from Italy and a team of experts from xổ số miền trung International Underground Construction Association. 

To ensure adherence to xổ số miền trung project timeline, FECON has proactively allocated resources and implemented continuous work schedules, including during holidays and xổ số miền trung Lunar New Year. During xổ số miền trung recent Tet holiday, FECON’s project management team deployed over 15 engineers and workers, working in three shifts across four teams, to expedite construction progress and keep xổ số miền trung project on track.

As of now, xổ số miền trung overall construction progress of Package CP03 – Tunnels and Underground Stations has reached 53.46%. Specifically, xổ số miền trung underground access ramp is 75.66% complete, Station S9 is 50.48% complete, and xổ số miền trung ventilation shaft has reached 24.09% completion.

Throughout xổ số miền trung construction process, FECON has worked closely with experts, xổ số miền trung general contractor, and consultants, employing a geotechnical monitoring system to track and monitor ground movement and subsidence. Tunneling operations are carried out with utmost caution and strict supervision to ensure xổ số miền trung safety of existing structures and maintain xổ số miền trung quality of xổ số miền trung works under construction.

xổ số miền trung underground section is expected to be completed by 2027, after which xổ số miền trung entire urban railway Line No. 3, Nhon – Hanoi Railway Station section, will be operational. This will transform xổ số miền trung urban traffic landscape of xổ số miền trung capital, improve connectivity between areas, and promote green, sustainable development.
