Deep Geological Drilling Underway for Thu Thiem - Long Thanh Metro Project

Geological survey work is actively underway for the planned Thu Thiem - Long Thanh metro line in Ho Chi Minh City. Construction teams are currently drilling boreholes along Song Hành street in Bình Trưng ward, with depths reaching 70-80 meters. These efforts are crucial for gathering soil and rock samples, which will inform the design and subsequent implementation of the ambitious metro project. The survey data will help engineers understand the subsurface conditions, including soil bearing capacity, essential for constructing the 48-kilometer line. Each borehole takes approximately two to three days to complete, ensuring a thorough assessment of the geological strata along the route. The Thu Thiem - Long Thanh metro is envisioned as a vital transportation artery, connecting the bustling center of Ho Chi Minh City with Dong Nai province and the new Long Thanh International Airport. Dai Quang Minh Investment Joint Stock Company is the investor tasked with developing the feasibility study for this strategic infrastructure project. The line, spanning approximately 47.7 kilometers, will feature 19 stations, including two underground and 17 elevated platforms, linking key areas in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai province, ultimately aiming to shorten travel times and support sustainable urban mobility.
