With a total investment of approximately USD 1 billion, it is the largest investment project by a Vietnamese enterprise in Laos to enter operation, invested by Viet Lao Investment and Energy Joint Stock Company (VLE).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>VIETNAM GLOBAL TRANSPORT CORPORATION (VGT)<\/strong> performed transit and cross-border cargo services for the project: transporting 10 wind turbine towers \u2014 excluding blades, with the heaviest unit weighing up to 115 tons \u2014 from Nam On through the Thanh Thuy Border Gate, up to the construction site on the Truong Son summit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">The project&#8217;s challenges<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This was one of the most demanding transport routes in terms of terrain that VGT has ever undertaken, with three compounding factors:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Super-heavy cargo:<\/strong> each wind turbine tower is a massive cargo unit, with the heaviest reaching 115 tons;<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Steep mountain roads:<\/strong> the route up to the site has gradients of up to 18 degrees, requiring special traction-and-braking plans and load distribution to ensure safety on the climbs;<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Cross-border transportation:<\/strong> the cargo traveled from Vietnam through the Thanh Thuy Border Gate into Laos, entailing documentation and customs requirements on both sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Documentation and cross-border procedures<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">VGT supported the preparation and review of documents and coordinated customs procedures for the transit cargo at the Thanh Thuy Border Gate, ensuring smooth clearance so that the transport journey was never interrupted.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Route survey and the climb to the summit<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Before execution, VGT surveyed the route to assess road load-bearing capacity, curves, and especially the steep sections. On that basis, VGT selected vehicles and a transport plan suited to super-heavy cargo on mountainous terrain, hauling each wind turbine tower up to the site according to the calculated plan, under close supervision along the entire route.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Proven capabilities<\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">All 10 wind turbine towers were transported across the border and brought safely up to the site on the Truong Son summit. The project demonstrates the capability of <strong>Vietnam Global Transport Corporation<\/strong> to handle three difficult problems at once: super-heavy cargo, high-altitude steep terrain, and cross-border transportation \u2014 conditions that only a few companies can meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Truong Son Wind Farm cluster sits on the summit of the Truong Son (Annamite) Range in Bolikhamxay Province, Laos, at elevations from 1,400 to nearly 2,000 meters above sea&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1898,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"project_category":[25],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1896","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-power-generation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1903,"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1896\/revisions\/1903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=1896"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vgt.com.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=1896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
