Enhancing Infrastructure for Vietnam’s Trade and Logistics

The connection between Becamex Bình Định Industrial Park–Urban Area, the Central Highlands, and Quy Nhơn Port is a key logistics corridor for Vietnam, linking inland manufacturing zones with export gateways. To support this, the Department of Highways launched a major infrastructure project in 2024—a new road connecting National Highway 19, the industrial park, and Quy Nhơn Port. This initiative aims to streamline goods transportation, reduce logistics costs, and boost industrial growth.

However, the road’s alignment through hilly terrain necessitates extensive cut slopes, presenting geotechnical risks such as landslides and erosion, especially during the rainy season. Effective slope stabilization is essential for long-term safety and durability.

Integrated Engineering Solution

Following thorough evaluation, the project team implemented a combined solution to ensure both surface and deep-slope stability:

• SteelGrid HR: A high-strength steel geocomposite for reinforcing slope surfaces and preventing shallow landslides.
• MacMat HS: A three-dimensional erosion control mat that stabilizes soil, prevents erosion, and supports vegetation growth.
• Soil Nails: Passive reinforcements to enhance overall slope strength and stability.

This integrated approach ensures a safe, resilient transport link that supports Vietnam’s broader economic and trade ambitions.
