The growing shortage of building materials has worsened over the past month. According to a survey by the Ifo Institute, 43.9 percent of the companies in building construction reported that they had problems procuring building materials on time. That was twice as many as in April, when only 23.9 of the companies complained of such problems. Civil engineering was slightly less affected, with 33.5 percent in May. In April only 11.5 percent of the companies reported bottlenecks there. “Capacity utilization in the industry is still high,” said Ifo expert Felix Leiss. But more and more companies are worried about the delivery bottlenecks. ” In addition, there are rapidly rising raw material prices. “The prices for sawn timber have almost exploded in the last few months, the sawmills cannot keep up,” said Leiss. Steel has also become considerably more expensive. Insulation materials and various plastics are also in short supply.

Warning of “unprecedented chaos”

Screw manufacturers also fear bottlenecks. The high capacity utilization, raw material bottlenecks and logistics problems have already plunged the international supply chains into “unprecedented chaos”, said Volker Lederer, chairman of the Association of Screws Wholesale (FDS) to the “Handelsblatt”. If the European Union now also levied additional tariffs on the import of iron and steel fasteners from China, it would “conjure up the perfect storm,” warned Lederer. The EU Commission is currently examining whether to impose anti-dumping duties on suppliers from the People’s Republic. The authorities want to announce by June 22nd whether they will impose temporary punitive tariffs. Lederer warns against making it more difficult for Chinese producers to deliver to Europe: “In order to avoid production line failures in Europe, the domestic economy needs the capacities of the entire Asian procurement market – including China.”

The order situation is still stable

The construction industry is following developments critically, but has not yet suffered any losses in orders. “We have a stable order situation,” said Stephan Rabe from the Main Association of the German Construction Industry (HDB) to the Reuters news agency. In March, the companies reported a record order backlog of 62 billion euros. “The pipeline is full, the companies are working very well.” So far, the association expects sales to stagnate this year. “If the impairments persist beyond the middle of the year, the shortage of materials increases, entire construction sites have to be closed and the prices asked continue to rise, then this will have a negative impact,” said Rabe. Then the sales forecast could not be kept. The problems caused by supply bottlenecks have also widened in German industry as a whole. “Almost four out of five manufacturers now report longer lead times for their raw materials,” said IHS Markit economist Phil Smith, which surveys hundreds of managers every month. A growing number of companies complained about negative consequences for production and new business as a result of the forced downtimes.

Contribute to protect the environment On August 18, 2020, the Prime Minister signed and promulgated Decision No. 1266 approving the strategy for development of building materials in Vietnam in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. Accordingly, provinces and cities must minimize the impact on the environment in the process of mining and processing minerals for building materials (building materials) and production of building materials. Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality Promote and encourage all economic sectors to invest in and develop the building materials industry; the fastest access and application of scientific and technological achievements; to develop an efficient and sustainable building materials industry to basically meet domestic demand, step by step increase exports; to encourage investment in research and transfer of production technology for processing lines of crushed sand, sea sand, salt water sand, brackish water sand, fine sand into sand qualified for use in concrete and mortar. “Do not use river sand that meets technical standards for concrete as a leveling material; do not export construction sand extracted from nature; promote the production and use of brackish water, fine sand, and sea sand. together with technical solutions; using advanced mining technology in combination with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality; waste generated during sand treatment must be collected and stored properly. techniques or reuse; sand mining and processing establishments must meet standards and technical regulations on environmental protection; must carry out environmental rehabilitation and restoration in accordance with the law on mining. , sand processing…”, Decision 1266 stated. Increase project life The Ministry of Construction has submitted to the Government for issuance of Decision 1266, in which Appendix X on sand of the decision states: “For natural sand: Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities. to improve the quality of sand,…”. Using clean sand contributes to environmental protection, limiting riverbank and coastal erosion Natural sand sources include hill sand, river and stream sand, estuary sand, dirty fine sand, etc., which have not been washed, so there is still a lot of dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, etc., which are harmful substances to the calf. cardboard and mortar, so often used for leveling is very wasteful. In particular, estuarine sand and sea sand with Cl- ion salt content in the sand > 0.05% cannot be used for leveling and must be discarded, causing waste. Currently, there are enterprises in the country that have successfully researched, manufactured and applied the technology of washing hill sand, river sand, sea sand, dirty sand to produce clean sand for concrete and mortar that meets TCVN 7570 standards: 2006, when applying technology, will make full use of special sand resources, contributing to rational use of sand resources and overcoming sand scarcity. Talking to the press, architect Tran Thanh Tong – Director of Tran Giang Planning and Architectural Design Consulting Co., Ltd (Can Tho City) – said that over the past 10 years, the company has always used clean sand in accordance with the law. Phan Thanh technology for all construction works. Works using clean sand have a slight increase in cost compared to dirty sand, unwashed sand, but in return, works using clean sand are very durable, beautiful, and have a much longer life than using dirty sand. , sand is not ready to wash. According to Mr. Vo Tan Dung, the inventor of the sand washing technology of Phan Thanh Can Tho Company, in fact, when exploiting sand from Tien and Hau rivers in combination with a cleaning factory in the spirit of Appendix X of Decision No. 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister will help the cost of sand in construction to be converted lower than the cost of using unfiltered sand about 115,000 VND/m3 of sand (cost of The cost of selecting and washing sand at the mine and loading and unloading the sand onto the barge costs at most: 50,000 VND/m3; meanwhile, the cost of sieving through manual nets but not clean: 60,000 VND/m3, 10% impurities including sand and transportation loading and unloading to the construction site but cannot be used, the minimum cost is: 25,000 VND/m3, over 10% of the cement cost, equivalent to about: 80,000 VND when using 1m3 of sand for concrete and mortar). People are used to using unfiltered sand to clean it is paradoxical because in concrete and mortar, there is still too much dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, harmful to the house, and using clean sand when re-cleaning is less expensive and reduces costs. construction cost compared to using unwashed sand. For example, converting sand containing 10.5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed with 9.06 kg of impurities/bag of cement 50 kg and if sand with 5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed 4.2 kg. impurities/bag of cement; mortar grade 100 if the sand 10.5% impurities are mixed 17.47 kg of impurities/1 bag of cement and mortar grade 100 if the sand 5% impurities in the sand are mixed 8.32 kg of impurities/bag cement. In addition, using clean sand contributes to quality assurance, so you don’t have to spend too much money on painting many times to waterproof, reduce maintenance costs, etc. In particular, the lifespan is hundreds of years compared to using sand without passing. After a few decades, the construction must be demolished and rebuilt, causing damage of several tens of % of the total value of the work. Therefore, the promulgation of Decision 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister is practical, especially sand resources will be improved in quality by removing harmful impurities when being washed. clean, contributing to the rational use of sand resources, overcoming the scarcity of sand and ensuring sustainable construction quality for the entire population.

Building materials are made from plants (Image: CNET) A research team at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Sciences has found a way to create durable, strong building materials that are still edible. These materials are very special as they are made from plants. Mashed cabbage leaves, seaweed and banana peels may not sound appealing, but they can be part of a recipe for sustainable building products. “Our goal is to use seaweed and leftovers to create sustainable building materials,” says Yuya Sakai, a sustainable building materials expert and lead author of an upcoming study on the material. building materials are at least as strong as concrete. But since we are using edible food waste, we were also interested in determining whether the recycling process affects the taste of the starting material.” The team tried a heat pressing technique commonly used to compress wood pulp into building materials. Instead of wood, they are vacuum-dried and then ground into a variety of foods and leftovers, including onion and fruit peels, as well as cabbage. “The processing technique involves mixing food powder with water and spices, then pressing the mixture into a mold at high temperature.” All the products obtained, except for the pumpkin peel, passed the group’s strength and endurance tests. Researchers have found a solution to the pumpkin problem. “We also discovered that Chinese cabbage leaves, which can be made into a material three times stronger than concrete, can be mixed with the material,” said Kota Machida, a collaborator on the project. made from pumpkin to enhance the effect”. The materials are still edible, although the team did not say whether they would be difficult to chew. Even exposing the material to air for four months does not change the taste and there are no problems with insects or rotting. The development of building materials from crushed food is still in the early stages, but perhaps one day you can build a place to live and then use it for food when it is no longer needed.

The stone is mined from the quarry of the company, after grinding, grinding into stone 1-2. Preeminent magnetism of new building materials Being put into trial production since May 2018, up to now, the sand crushed source from stone has been promoting its superiority as well as attraction to the construction market. Mr. Mai The Tinh – Director of Phu Son Trading Company Limited (Nga Son District, Thanh Hoa Province) said: “With abundant raw materials from the limestone quarries in the province in particular, and grinding technology modern treatment of impurities before putting finished products on the market; The durability of buildings is also appreciated higher than natural sand, which is the advantages that this new building material shows. As an enterprise located in Nga Son district (Thanh Hoa), for a long time, the supply of natural sand for its construction works as well as the district market has faced many difficulties when the sand reserve in the host area. The weak point is that the salty sand can only be leveled, so it is largely limited in the construction works, to meet the demand, the construction sand has to be imported from other districts such as: Thieu Hoa, Ha Trung, Vinh Loc … Large transportation costs leading to higher costs make investment in construction face many difficulties. Mr. Tinh added: At the end of 2017, after field testing from some southern markets as well as abroad, the Company applied and invented a new investment in a production line of crushed sand from rock at a cost. only equal to 20% (about 20 billion VND) compared with the lines imported from abroad. Crushed sand products will contribute to help businesses create a closed production process. The stone is mined from the quarry of the Company after grinding, grinding finished products (stone 1-2), will be screened, classified and put into the system of crushers, small screening into sand. The next step, crushed sand will be put into the system of sedimentation tanks, wash and treat impurities before the finished product is sold to the market. In order to ensure the environment, during the production and grinding process, there is a dust misting system. The process of putting into sedimentation tanks, washing, stone dust will also be deposited and reused as bricks … Thus, the production of crushed sand will be very suitable for quarry mining enterprises, increasing the first choice. private businesses. Mr. Mai Van Nguyen – Production executive officer of Phu Son Trading Co., Ltd. said: With an output of 500m3 / day, the unit is providing for all projects and works on construction in Nga Son district. . In addition to the superiority of the product, with the automated process, only 2 workers to operate the line are contributing to reduce labor costs, reduce human labor, and lower product costs. Meanwhile, according to enterprises in Nga Son district, materials from crushed sand are the number one choice among many large construction projects as well as small construction needs. among the people. In addition to the durability of the project, sand crushed materials also help businesses, people reduce the cost of transfer, cost … Opportunities open for businesses Mr. Luu Van Hai – Head of Economic – Infrastructure Division of Nga Son district said: With the characteristics of the district bordering the sea, the sand reserve is mostly salty, the introduction of crushed sand in the area is contributing to solving the problems. difficulties for businesses in construction investment. In addition, the Provincial People’s Committee also encourages the use of crushed sand in construction works, so this source of construction materials is currently popular and popular. “One of the typical projects using crushed sand such as: The project to solidify the Hung Long canal, through the area of ​​Nga Son town, Thanh Hoa has been put into use and the durability has been proven over time”, Mr. Hai cited. Conduct sorting and put into the system of crushers, small screening into sand. However, in addition to the superiority in production as well as the durability of the buildings, the development of this building material source still faces some difficulties. Specifically, according to Mr. Hai, this new material source has not been disseminated, the number of units investing in the production line is not much, leading to the competition on product prices is not high. If it is soon popularized for construction investment and more widely, this new source of construction materials will be a gradually replacing material source for natural sand and gravel. Learning from enterprises, Mr. Nguyen Trong Cuong – Deputy Director of Nien Cuong Co., Ltd. (Nghi Son town, Thanh Hoa) exchanged: Currently, the source of crushed sand material has been one or two units in the area. production investment town. On the business side, crushed sand contributes to increasing investment choices, making use of raw materials in the mining process … However, Mr. Cuong cannot help but wonder when this product has not yet been popularized. , product cost is higher than natural sand, leading to difficulties and barriers in the selection of projects and works. According to research, the province has 2 grinding sand production lines with a capacity of 150 tons / hour of Phu Son Trading Co., Ltd. (Nga Son district) and Ha Lien Construction and Trade Co., Ltd. (Nong district). Drain). There are also a number of small production lines such as Nghi Son town … According to the construction material development plan to 2025, with a vision to 2035 of the province, crushed sand from stone will be developed in many areas. The mine sector is available with raw materials to supply the market, with a total expected capacity of 1.9 million m3 / year. This is considered an open opportunity for businesses in the province to invest and develop.

Outdoor paving materials, necessarily anti-slip. In the design process, homeowners rarely pay attention to this issue, but only care about the functional needs, the form of the house. But to the construction stage – especially in the finishing stage; in connection with the procurement and use of materials; even though it is possible that a very clear and specific designation is given in the engineering design drawing; The owner still likes … to go to the material market to actually see, to choose materials for his house. The “conflict” between the designer and the owner about the choice and use of the material still occurs often. Architects have expertise and overview, choose the right materials; But sometimes the architect is too fond of his style, does not care to grasp the needs and psychology of the host. And the homeowner chooses materials according to the feelings, without the overall look. Many types of display materials are beautiful, but put into the work is not beautiful, or in particular a particular area is not suitable. In many cases, the materials are chosen by architects to beautify the house, but the owner is … warm and unsatisfied; and conversely, homeowners (arbitrarily) choose materials rarely in the opinion of architects. This is a professional job, but the new owner is the direct user of the project, related to those materials and the person… to spend money. Therefore, to have a common voice; then the architect must grasp, learn the needs, living habits and home psychology (with members); but the owner needs to listen to the advice of a specialist, avoid the type of “shopping” for the material, see something good, beautiful (at that time) and then pick up. The concept of beauty and the needs and aesthetic level of each person is different. Therefore, in order to choose the right materials and come to a common voice, in general, the experience of some architects is that – apart from the financial factor, it is necessary to adhere to some specialized principles. subject and each side also need to have an attitude of respect, “yield” to each other. Chandeliers are an important element in classical European architectural style. Suitable for use Materials used in architectural works, first of all, must be suitable for function; This is the most important principle. Each space, each function room, each type of structure and part of architecture has different positions and roles, it is necessary to have materials with suitable mechanical – physical – chemical properties. Floor tiles where water is available (courtyards, toilets) require slip resistance first, and then other issues such as patterns, colors …; garden and exterior materials must be resistant to natural conditions (rain, sun); materials and equipment in the bathroom must be water-resistant, high-moisture-resistant, and electrical safe; the cooking material must be heat resistant … Suitable for use space g Each space, each room in the house has its own specific function, for human activities living, living or working in it. In order to provide the correct functional effect, the materials need to be suitable as well. For example, the living room next to the garden on the ground floor needs airy, comfortable, close to nature, can use natural materials; Upstairs the common room provides closeness; the bedroom should be quiet and warm; music and entertainment rooms need an impression … In addition to the design in the functional space, the interior layout; Then the use of materials, equipment, materials in these spaces also contributes to creating the desired space. Suitable architectural style – interior Each house has an architectural style and interior, according to the will, needs of the owner with the advice of the architect; and designed in that direction by the architect. In order to create style, the role of the material and how it is used is very important. Each architectural – interior style requires the respective materials and the correct way of using them. Modern style has many new materials such as glass, steel, stainless steel …; Eastern classical style has a deep sound of brown wood with sophisticated details; The rustic folk style has the presence of natural materials such as bamboo, wood, stone … Natural stones, ceramic tiles, wood and trees create a rustic, close garden feel. Matching ratio Ratio is an important factor in architecture. Some spaces requiring use of materials are involved in this, especially tiled surfaces. The area of ​​a floor, the height of the walls, and the space of the room need the right proportions. The bathroom is usually small, so choose the moderate size ceramic tiles; should not be too big, if you calculate the parity the better. If using a large brick size, in addition to inconsistent proportions and visuals, it also causes wasteful damage due to much cutting. Some types of architectural parts are now pre-engineered with many sizes, for example, doors need to be based on the area, the height of the room, the space of the wall to choose the right size. Correlation in harmony with the surroundings A building is using many types of materials, in many spaces and spaces that are related to each other. In order to have a harmonious whole, this also needs to be noted. That relationship can be in itself in each function room, within the project; Or out in the garden, on the alley – the street. It is necessary to consider the relationship and surrounding landscape for material selection. For example, at present, there are many townhouses and apartments designed with living room space – living together with the kitchen – dining. The living room floor – common living room or parquet; and the tiled kitchen. These two materials have different origins, different properties coexist on the same ground; and so it is necessary to choose the appropriate species, which can “go together”. In general, the selection and use of materials are very important for architectural works. In a way, there is no such thing as a ugly or beautiful material. Bad or beautiful is whether it exists properly, in the right place in the project or not. Choosing the right materials, beautifying, correcting the space, the overall project. This requires both creativity, sophistication and designer’s experience; the harmony, the predestined relationship in the architect and the host’s relationship./.

Mr. Lai Hong Thanh, Deputy Director General of the General Department of Geology and Minerals (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) Representative of state management agency on minerals, Mr. Lai Hong Thanh, Deputy Director of General Department of Geology and Minerals (MONRE) shared with SGGP Newspaper reporter about the management of exploration and mineral exploitation across the country today. * Reporter: Sir, the scarcity of leveling materials for the North-South expressway project is no longer a new problem. Government leaders, many ministries, branches and localities also joined in, but the situation has not improved much. What do you think? – Mr. LAI HONG THANH: As a key national project, which has been prepared and implemented since 2017, the North-South expressway project has received special attention from the National Assembly, the Government and relevant agencies. favorable conditions for deployment. However, in some sections of the route, the locality is facing difficulties with materials for construction. It is estimated that the total demand for the whole route will need about 60.7 million m³ of embankment land; 21.5 million m³ of rocks of all kinds and 10.8 million m³ of sand. In the process of project formulation, technical design, design consultant surveyed and proposed to use material mines. Some mines in many localities are being implemented well, but there are also a number of mines that have not met the demand for many reasons: the transportation distance is too far, leading to high cost, not timely supply; Some mines have expired, are waiting for renewal … Besides, there are mines in the local planning that are implementing mining licensing procedures, but according to the current law, the process is , the procedure takes quite a long time. Before the North-South expressway project was implemented, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment issued Circular No. 01/2016 / TT-BTNMT technical regulations on the exploration of river-bed sand and gravel and rock for leveling materials. fill. This Circular simplifies the technical method and volume of exploration works, thereby shortening the time for licensing exploration and exploitation. Recently, the ministry has also issued Document No. 1488 / BTNMT-ĐCKS dated March 29, 2016 on licensing exploration and exploitation of minerals as common building materials for expressway projects. We have also instructed the provincial People’s Committee to apply the Mineral Law in the direction: construction works can take the excavated soil to convert to the embankment within the service scope of that work without having to apply for a permit. … * Some localities say that even after applying regulations to facilitate businesses, it is still too long to be licensed for exploration and mining? – Law on Minerals 2010 has been implemented for more than 10 years, there are points to be adjusted and the above mentioned case (exploration and exploitation of minerals as common building materials) is one of the points that need to be amended. . In the immediate future, I propose to the competent authority, here the National Assembly, to consider and issue a separate resolution following the simplified procedures on the order of procedures for exploration and exploitation of mines for the project. this. However, the implementation progress depends greatly on the locality, because the Provincial People’s Committee is the authority to approve and grant exploration and exploitation permits. * How about the possibility of using thermal power plant ash or using construction waste to build roads, sir? – In my opinion, it is necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of using ash and slag in thermal power plants. But even if it can be used, the amount of this offset is also negligible compared to the huge demand of the expressway project. * The 2010 Law on Minerals has brought into play a positive effect over the years, but the law has also revealed a number of shortcomings that need improvement. Can you elaborate on these shortcomings and is the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment expected to submit to the Government and the National Assembly for amendments to the law? – Currently, we are evaluating and summarizing the implementation of the Mineral Law 2010 and have identified a number of shortcomings. That is, do not specify the joint venture or association in mineral exploitation activities; there is no uniform regulation with the law on investment to control when there is a change in the capital of the enterprise owner that has been granted a license for mineral exploration and exploitation; responsibilities of organizations and individuals exploiting minerals after being licensed for exploitation in monitoring and supervising the actual exploited output; responsibility for coordinating mineral management in the areas bordering areas between provinces and cities (especially for sand minerals, river-bed gravel) … After a comprehensive assessment, we will take the next steps to submit to the authorities to include the amendment and supplement of the Mineral Law into the law building program, possibly 2022 or 2023. * Thank you Sir!

At the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Huu Trung – Deputy Director of Binh Thuan Department of Transport said: Over the past time, the province has stepped up the implementation of site clearance work as well as issues related to the project, especially especially the work of solving the demand for construction materials of the expressway project. Up to now, the number of households and organizations has handed over 2,657 / 2,684 dossiers, reaching the rate of 99%; The compensated clean land area was 1,204.89 ha, reaching the rate of 98.6%. 27 households have not received compensation money and handed over the premises. In addition, at the locations where the ground has been handed over, there are 25 cases (received money and signed the handover) but have not moved or handed over the site to construction contractors. Currently, the province is actively directing the People’s Committees of relevant localities to completely settle the compensation and site clearance work in May 2021.

The Economic Committee of the National Assembly’s supervisory delegation works with Binh Thuan province.

According to the report of Project Management Unit (PMU) 7 and PMU Thang Long, the total demand for construction materials for the project of the Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet section and the Phan Thiet – Dau Giay section is nearly 16 million blocks.

Deputy Director of Binh Thuan Department of Transport added: For the demand for construction sand and stone, the construction material mines in the province can meet the needs of the project. As for embankment materials, according to the approved technical design documents of the approved Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet and Phan Thiet – Dau Giay sections, the reserves of the mines in the province meet the quality and demand of the project. project. However, through the field survey at the mines, the volume of soil and soil cover mentioned above is preliminarily classified into 3 categories by PMU 7, PMU Thang Long, including: Soil, rock mixed with weathered rock and rock.

According to the assessment of the two boards mentioned above, the soil mixed with rock and weathered rock does not meet the requirements for making backfill materials according to the project’s technical requirements. Based on the proposals of the Thang Long Project Management Board and PMU 7, the Provincial Working Group is now speeding up the determination of the mines being exploited that need to increase capacity, expand the scale, or push To speed up the mining licensing procedures to guide the Miners in order procedures, shorten the time but ensure compliance with the provisions of law. At the same time, invite the Miners to work to guide the procedures for capacity increase, scaling up and mining licensing. Expected to complete the mining licensing procedures in the second quarter of 2021.

Mr. Vu Hong Thanh – Member of the Party Central Committee – Chairman of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly spoke at the meeting.

At the meeting, Chairman of Binh Thuan Provincial People’s Committee – Le Tuan Phong said: The province has drastically participated in solving the needs of building materials for the expressway project, step by step solving problems, Gradually came to agreement on issues related to the provision of soil filling materials for the project. In particular, the province has instructed the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and related departments and sectors to give priority to processing investment, environmental, land, and mining permits within 3 working days upon receipt. are business records.

To ensure the demand for building materials for the project, the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee suggested that the Project Management Units: Thang Long, 7, 85 coordinate closely with relevant departments and branches of the province and mine owners. to survey, evaluate and determine the reserves and quality of each field of embankment materials to unify data, propose ground-filling requirements for each specific construction and installation package, in which clearly identify which mines Exploiting operations need to increase capacity, expand the scale, which mines need to speed up the mining licensing procedures.

The Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee also requested the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to guide the province to shorten the time for implementing mining licensing procedures. At the same time, it is recommended that the Ministry of Transport soon consider and approve the plan to use 1.1 million cubic meters of salvaged rock in package No. 01, Vinh Hao – Phan Thiet section to crush into expressway embankment as proposed. proposal of PMU 7; Consider and approve for the use of rock and wind mixed in mines.

The Chairman of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly – Vu Hong Thanh highly appreciated the efforts of Binh Thuan province in implementing and implementing the North-South Expressway project in the East, the section passing through the province, especially the coordination. solving the need for building materials to implement the project. Mr. Vu Hong Thanh also suggested that the province continue to direct the completion of site clearance in May 2021 according to the province’s progress; Early completion of related procedures to ensure a dumping site for project construction. Regarding the handling of materials for construction, the Chairman of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly requested the Ministry of Transport to review the material needs of the entire route, directing the Project Management Boards to: Thang Long, 7, 85 urgently coordinate with the province to remove problems.
