In the implementation of the city's metro rail project, Hanoi will build ten metro rail systems with a combined length of 417.8 kilometers. Hanoi will need over US$40 billion for the constructions, including US$7.5 billion in 2017-2020, US$7.6 billion in 2021-2025, US$3.5 billion in 2026-2030, and $21.3 billion after 2031. In HCMC, plans are in place to build a total of eight metro rail systems, with construction in varying stages of development. Currently, the first two lines of HCMC’s metro rail systems will start commercial operations in 2020, including line No. 1 expected to be fully in operational by the end of 2020, however, there is possibility for early partial opening for elevated section at the end of 2018 or in 2019. The opening of line No. 2 shall be by the end of 2020, while line No. 5 is scheduled for completion in 2025, will be driverless, with automated ticketing systems and smart cards. Metro line No. 3, line No. 4 and line No. 6 are still in the planning phase, while line No. 7 and No. 8 are in the blueprint stage. Cost estimates for lines No. 1 to No. 6 are US$2.49 billion, US$2.07 billion, US$3.69 billion, US$4.45 billion, US$4.47 billion and US$1.25 billion respectively, a total of over US$18 billion. In Danang, the process of drawing up a blueprint to develop three metro rail systems has begun, and is expected to be completed by 2020. Against this development, Vietnam’s Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) & Danang Metro Rail System Projects Conference 2019, provides a timely opportunity to gain access to critical information needed to evaluate prospect in project collaboration and partnership in planning, design, construction as well as innovation and solution to improve the management and efficiency of the overall metro rail system lifecycle in Hanoi, HCMC and Danang. Discussion will also highlight remote sensing and GIS-based analysis of cave development, as well as understanding diverse needs for assessment of environmental changes, with ample time set aside to review the prospects of the creation of a new map of ecological partitioning of the global ocean for climate change impacts assessment. In addition, delegates will be able to review best practices in designs and advances in GIS solutions for complex and large-scale infrastructure projects that will provide proactive analysis to identify and resolve hidden problems and contribute towards meeting key challenges of completing infrastructure projects within budget and timeline. |
