Recently, Vinh Hung JSC has successfully exported a batch of expansion joints to supply for the Wat Naboon Bridge maintenance project. Simultaneously, Vinh Hung is manufacturing expansion joints for the Bang Ban - Bang Sai flood drainage canal and the Bangkok Western Ring Road - Rama III - Dao Khanong Expressway. The continuous export and supply of materials for Thailand’s key transport infrastructure projects have made the country become Vinh Hung's second largest export market in Southeast Asia, after the Philippines.

The Bang Ban - Bang Sai is one of the areas severely affected by annual flooding in Thailand. As a result, the Bang Ban - Bang Sai flood drainage canal project is considered as a key national project of the government aiming at enhancing disaster preparedness, particularly in managing floodwaters caused by heavy rainfall.

Meanwhile, the Bangkok Western Ring Road - Rama III - Dao Khanong Expressway project is one of the key transportation infrastructure projects, connecting the western areas of Bangkok with the city center. The construction of the double decker 5-kilometer-long, six-lane on a double-decker road not only eases traffic congestion but also plays a crucial role in optimizing travel time and operating costs.

The Wat Naboon Bridge maintenance project is a significant step in upgrading and extending the lifespan of the bridge, ensuring the safety for people and vehicles.

Vinh Hung is implementing a quality management system following ISO 9001:2015 standard, ISO 3834 standard (quality management system for fusion welding of metallic materials), EN 1090 - 2 Execution 3 standard (European standard for steel structure products), with certification from Bureau Veritas, a leading global certification organization.

The product welding process is developed and approved by qualified experts, with a welder team which is evaluated and certified according to the standards of the American Welding Society and international welding skill assessment standards. The welding equipment and materials are selected following EN 1090 standard, ISO 3834-2 standard, and related standards, with regular equipment calibration. After the welding process, the products are inspected for appearance, weld size, and surface defect detection. Additionally, non-destructive testing methods such as magnetic particle testing, ultrasonic testing, and liquid penetrant testing are executed to detect internal defects in the welds.

The products are protected against corrosion by methods such as two-part epoxy coating, PU coating, and hot-dip galvanized coating according to ASTM A123 standard. Particularly, the Aluminum-Magnesium metal spraying method makes the corrosion resistance layer last up to 100 years, as proven by the 6000-hour salt spray test according to ASTM B117 standard.

The continuous export of products and supply of materials for key transport infrastructure projects in Thailand not only demonstrate that the quality of Vinh Hung's products are trusted by Thai investors and contractors but also depict the company's strategy to expand its business in the international market, particularly in Southeast Asia.
