The facility's ship-lock gate, signaling system, and pumping station are fully installed. The entire system is slated to begin trial operations and final testing in October.
The Phu Dinh sluice gate on the Doi Canal in former District 8 prevents tidal water from the Vam Co Dong and Can Giuoc rivers from flowing into the city center.
The contractor reports the structure is 93% complete, with its main tidal-control gate finished and ready for operation. Crews are currently preparing to install the ship-lock gate system.
Across the project's six construction sites, nearly 1,500 officials, engineers, and workers have been deployed alongside heavy machinery to expedite the remaining work.
The facility's major components are fully finished, including the 434-ton gate system, supporting beams, waterproofing sheet piles, regulating valves, an automated SCADA control center, and canal dredging works.
Once the broader flood-control project goes live, all six sluice gates will remain open under normal conditions to allow uninterrupted boat traffic. During high tides or heavy rain, the gates will close and vessels will be routed through the ship locks.
