Can Tho Bridge Project on Barge
Lintec & Linnhoff Concrete supplied a MZP120 customised Eurotec Concrete Plant to a major Japanese infrastructure contractor for this barge project to produce pre-stressed and high strength concrete, using a concrete pump and 40m boom length to pump concrete up to deliver the mixed concrete.
The Can Tho Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Hau (Bassac) River, the largest distributary of the Mekong River. The 2,750m (total 15.85km) is in Binh Minh District, Vinh Long Province, opposite Can Tho, approximately 170km south of Ho Chi Minh City. The 26m wide bridge deck is of pre-stressed concrete. The bridge replaces the ferry system that currently runs along National Road 1A and links Vinh Long Province and Can Tho City. The bridge is considered to be one of the largest engineering projects in Vietnam‘s history ever and overtook the title of Vietnam‘s longest bridge.
