Metro Nhon – Hanoi station is behind schedule, large capital team

Project metro Nhon – Hanoi station It was supposed to go into operation in 2016, but after many delays, now, in 2022, Hanoi City continues to ask to adjust the completion time to 2027 and ask to increase the total investment by 1,600 billion. VND, bringing the total investment of the whole project to more than 34,000 billion VND. This is information that makes many people in the capital very disappointed.

Construction started in September 2010, but it took more than 10 years for the houses located on the Nhon metro station – Hanoi station to complete the compensation for site clearance. The delay in site clearance is because it is difficult to reach an agreement on land prices to compensate people when the price difference between the State and the market land price is too big.

“If a subway line is slow, the damage is huge. If it’s slow, traffic jams a day, how much will Hanoi lose? A year, trillions of billions, lose that. The second is loss of trust. “, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy, former Director of Transport Publishing House, assessed.

More specifically, when the Construction Law only compensates for the ground on the land, and underground in the ground …, the sections with underground metro passing through the foundations of the buildings have not yet mentioned any provisions on compensation. This is the core difficulty seen from the very beginning of the project implementation.

“For buildings on tunnels that are affected during construction, there are no mechanisms and policies. Therefore, recently, the City People’s Committee has approved a framework for compensation and support for affected people. enjoy when tunneling TBMs pass through people’s areas,” said Le Trung Hieu, deputy head of the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board.

“Regarding urban management and construction permit issues, it must change. If we don’t want to make the road pass through it, we will have to cut it again. It took us 10 years just for the house. Station C9, too tired, in the end, the capital is very large”, Architect Pham Thanh Tung, Chief of Office of the Vietnam Association of Architects, said.

FIDIC contracts (standard international construction contracts) allow investors and consultants to decide on their own to handle problems. However, according to the provisions of the Construction Law, the handling authority belongs to the investor (Hanoi City) and central ministries and branches.

Problems arise a lot, but to handle it, it has to be submitted to many levels, is cumbersome and takes a lot of time. The entire project has long been temporarily under construction. The two tunneling robots have been dormant for nearly a year and will certainly continue to wait until there are solutions to remove obstacles.
