Son La Hydropower Plant, National Key Works, Southeast Asia's largest hydroelectric project is in the final stage of completion to be inaugurated in late December 2012. Six units have been generating electricity and converting the National Grids before the three year deadline, the peak period has more than ten thousand workers present at the site ... The above information is the result of hand, block The collective mind of those who stick with the project to build Son La hydropower plant for decades. That greatness has confirmed, Vietnam is fully capable of building and mastering the monumental works!
When I first approached the staff of the Son La Hydropower Project Management Unit to complete the procedures in advance of being allowed access to information about the plant, CVP comrade PMU seriously said: The case, itself, was a monumental work; therefore, only the journalists were asked to write it properly, honestly, not too complimented. It is a product of the will, determination and creativity of a whole team for a long time, and is one of the key projects expected nationwide. More than that, it is the most authentic assertion, we fully master the modern technology ... ".
His seriousness made me fall into a state of both excitement and anxiety, excited by the "object" of my forthcoming articles as a "giant", anxious, whether it is me Is it possible to handle so much information? And, the feeling that followed me all the way nearly 40km from Son La city to Muong La, where the largest hydroelectric power plant in Southeast Asia is portrayed in a visual way, like a blossoming flower where Late Northwest on the upper reaches of the Da River.
My Son La hydropower project was in the mid-October 2012, with very few workers on site. A small group of workers were chewing iron scaffolds on the truck; Another group is doing the cleaning work of the concrete yard near the dam ... Anh Dung, the General Administration Officer, who guided me to the factory, said: "This time, Most of the time, only a small part of the work to complete all the tasks such as building the landscape, aluminum frame, glass door ... Only a month, if you up, you will be surprised about a "mirror New face "of the factory!"
.
Just like his story, along the road leading to the factory, the wall is lying on the side of the river at the bottom of the river is under construction, preparing to color. On the right hand side, the statue is about two meters high and tens of meters in front of the factory has been built by talented hands. There will be trees, grass lawns are planted along the road to create the landscape. At the top of the hill close to the dam body of the factory, the Monument is also being built, as a tribute to the efforts, sweat and tears of laborers who have been working on the Son La hydropower plant for decades.
In the afternoon before going to the factory, Nguyen Hong Ha, head of the Son La Hydropower Project Management Board, sat "fast statistics" to give me an initial overview of the Son La Hydropower Project: Completely finished by the engineers and workers in Vietnam design and construction, foreign experts only play a supervisory role. There are 13 member contractors by Song Da Corporation as general contractor participating in the project; Electricity of Vietnam is the investor. On the job site, the peak period has more than 10,000 regular work; More than 16.6 million cubic meters of rock were excavated; More than 20 million cubic meters of rock is transported; Dressed in millions of cubic meters of ground, pouring nearly 6 million cubic meters of concrete; Installed 115,000 tons of equipment ... All the numbers have "million" unit attached, which makes me not surprised.
On 26/9/2012, Unit 6 - the last unit of Son La Hydropower Plant had merged the national grid system, 3 months earlier than expected. This was one of the series of major events that the people who directly execute the works were not unexpected.
In the "history" of the power sector of Vietnam, perhaps no hydropower projects have many "strange" factors such as Son La Hydropower Project: while waiting for the National Assembly passed, EVN has strongly proposed the solution. The method of accelerating the work in the way "just started and just fill the line." In any hydroelectric project there are also items: construction, lake bed improvement; Resettlement migrants take the site; Construction of traffic infrastructure, grid line infrastructure ... These parts are often carried out by the investor in sequence. However, in the Son La Hydropower Project, all were conducted at the same time, and there was rapprochement and matching.
The story of Chief of PMU Nguyen Hong Ha continues: "The relocation of refugees to their new place was carried out quickly and neatly by immigrant boards of Dien Bien, Lai Chau and Son La provinces. Support the key projects of the state should all self-giving the land, transfer the house handed over to the project owner; Construction of roads, infrastructure and facilities for the site will be carried out synchronously: 125km of roads, 2 concrete bridges spanning Da river, 110-220kV grid system, nearly 200km, Nearly 60,000 m2 of housing for tens of thousands of workers and a series of diversion works, upstream and downstream dykes have been developed before the commencement date. All these efforts show determination, a will, and it has made an important contribution to Son La hydroelectric power generation ahead of time, and the project "finalized" three years ahead of the deadline that the National Assembly approval. "
According to the plan, on December 21, 2012 - the traditional day of the Vietnam Electricity Industry, Son La Hydropower Plant will hold the inauguration ceremony of the project. Since December 2010, when Unit 1 was put into operation, up to now, six units have merged the national power grid, the latest figures provided by Viet NamNet for Son La Hydropower Plant. By October 10, 2012, total output of electricity produced by Son La Hydropower Plant was 11,553 billion KWh - that is enough to affirm, place trust, expectation and expectation on a large construction. The big country like Son La Hydropower is perfectly in place.
