| Vinci wins two contracts in Vietnam Vinci, through Vinci Construction Grands Projets, has just signed a contract worth $72 million (€61 million) to build the new headquarters of Vietnam’s national television broadcaster in downtown Hanoi. The 33, 000 m2 five-level building will house around fifteen studios. Carried out in partnership with Japanese company Sumitomo Mitsui, work will begin in late December 2005 and last 28 months. Vinci Construction Grands Projets also signed at the same time a €27 million civil engineering contract to build a thermal plant that will supply the southern part of Vietnam. The combined gas cycle plant will be built in Camau. It will produce 720 megawatts and its capacity will likely be doubled subsequently. Work will last 26 months and 41, 000 m3 of concrete and 3, 300 tons of steel will be used. As part of this project, Vinci Construction Grands Projets had signed a first €9 million contract to consolidate the water-logged land over an area covering 9 hectares. This zone will host the thermal plant and is to be treated with the so-called “Vacuum” atmospheric consolidation technique developed by Ménard Soltraitement, a Freyssinet (Vinci Construction) subsidiary. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
