The construction firm Tradincorp has made debut of a pilot project on underground electricity cables on Tran Hung Dao Street in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam.

The success of the project will pave a way for putting the city’s electricity and telecommunication cable systems under the ground, helping improve the sightseeing and preventing people from electrical accidents. Two trenches were digging alongside the street, with seven piles about 100-150 millimeters in diameter for power cables and 12 piles around 42-100 millimeters in diameter for telephone cables running inside each.

The first-ever project with the total investment of VND 58 billion (USD 2.9 million) was carried on a 2.4-kilometers section, which is located in between Nguyen Van Cu Street and Nguyen Cu Trinh Street in District 1.
