Quang Ngai Construction Department Issues Ultimatum Over Delayed Landslide Project

A critical landslide mitigation project on the DT.624B route in Quang Ngai province, Vietnam, is facing significant delays, prompting an ultimatum from the provincial Department of Construction. Despite being over halfway through its planned construction period, the project has only achieved approximately 50% of its intended workload.

Mai Van Ha, Deputy Director of the Quang Ngai Department of Construction, stated that the department issued a formal notice to the contractor, design consultant, and supervision consultant. The notice demands an urgent acceleration of work on the project, which aims to repair negative slope erosion, the roadbed, and the road surface at Km14+500 in Dinh Cuong commune.

The contractor, Thanh Dat Construction Co., Ltd., has been instructed to maximize personnel and equipment deployment. They are to implement multiple construction fronts simultaneously, working extended hours and shifts to compensate for the delays. The project must be completed by the revised deadline of July 30.

(supervision) and Tam Anh ATP Co., Ltd. (project management) must increase site inspections and monitor progress and quality.
