At the end of October, there were several Chinese faces added to the drilled piles of the Qinye Main Bridge. The surveyor squatted in the mud to check the location, and the road roller on the sidewalk rolled back and forth. A few kilometers away, the first beam of the No.1 beam yard has just been cast.

The beam yard is synchronized with the bridge first

The Ho Chi Minh City Construction Bureau recently issued a construction activity permit to CSCEC, approving its participation in part of the Bincheng Qinye Railway project. The scope of the permit is related to standard elevated bridges, special bridges, and precast beam yards. CSCEC will construct and operate the 2nd precast beam yard, responsible for the construction of simply supported beams, continuous beams, and bridge deck systems, and cooperate with the 3rd beam yard to complete the production, transportation, and installation of the first batch of 50 precast beams. The Construction Bureau specifically stated that the permit is only valid for the specified scope and not for the entire project. CSCEC is a subcontractor of Vietnam Central Construction Corporation (Vietnam Central Construction Corporation), which belongs to the consortium SGC-CENTRAL-620IDIC. The investor VinSpeed has approved its participation.

One section each for technology and civil engineering

The railway is invested by VinSpeed and constructed in BOO mode. It will start construction on December 19, 2025, with a preliminary total investment of approximately 10.243 trillion Vietnamese dong, or about 4 billion US dollars. The total length of the line is about 53.8 kilometers, starting from Bincheng Station and ending at Qinye Rolling Stock Depot. It has a double track design, a gauge of 1435 millimeters, electrification, and a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The main construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2028 and put into operation in 2029. It will take about 13 minutes from the central urban area to Qinye by then.

In September 2026, VinSpeed signed a turnkey contract with Siemens Mobility for two high-speed trains, Hanoi Guangning and Bincheng Qinye, with a total amount of approximately 1 billion euros. Siemens will provide 10 Velaro Novo high-speed trains and signal, communication, and electrification systems, while the civil engineering and track construction will still be the responsibility of Vietnam. At the end of October, multiple working faces along the line were successively launched, and three precast beam yards were constructed. The first trial production of the first beam yard was completed, and it is expected to invest about 10000 workers, engineers, and technicians during the peak period. The pattern of each managing a section has already taken shape.Editor/Min Jing
