On the morning of September 18, 2024, Vinh Hung Trading, Consulting, and Construction JSC, in collaboration with the Geotechnical Department of the University of Transport and Communications (UTC), successfully hosted a geotechnical workshop titled "Preventing Landslides on Mountain Roads." The event brought together over 200 experts from Vietnam and abroad to exchange knowledge and experiences for mitigating landslides on mountainous roadways.

Dr. Le Van Duong, Director of the Department of Science and Technology (Ministry of Transport), emphasized the urgent need for continuous innovation in landslide prevention strategies tailored to Vietnam’s unique geographical and climatic conditions. He highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts like this workshop and expressed his commitment to advising the Ministry of Transport on future policies and solutions.

Representatives from Vinh Hung delivered a presentation on "Initial Effectiveness of Steel Mesh Structures in Preventing Rockfalls and Slope Failures on Mountain Roads in Vietnam."

The presentation outlined the serious risks to infrastructure, vehicles and human lives posed by rockfalls and landslides, particularly on high-speed roads where drivers have little time to react. Key causes of these hazards include geological factors, environmental influences (rain, wind, earthquakes, vegetation, animal activity) and human activities (poor blasting techniques, traffic vibrations, inadequate slope design).

Since 2019, Vinh Hung has implemented a high-strength steel mesh reinforcement system, combined with rock bolts and flexible barriers, in multiple projects across Vietnam. After five years, this solution has demonstrated high effectiveness and cost efficiency in stabilizing slopes and preventing rockfalls and landslides.

Maccaferri Group (Italy) presented solutions for debris flow mitigation, slope instability early warning systems, and emergency road restoration in landslide-prone areas. These innovative solutions have great potential for development and application in Vietnam.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Manh, representing the Geotechnical Department at UTC, presented a paper titled "High Slope Landslides on Mountain Roads in Vietnam: Prevention or Mitigation?" The study provided a comprehensive analysis of landslides affecting mountain roads, particularly during the rainy season.

The recent wave of landslides across mountainous provinces in early September 2024 highlighted the severity of the issue. The presentation reviewed current landslide prevention methods, the unique challenges of stabilizing high slopes, and the urgent need for innovative technical solutions to effectively mitigate these risks.

ChungAm Enc (South Korea) introduced its modular corrugated steel tunnel, a hybrid solution for high-slope stabilization on mountain roads.

This cost-effective alternative to traditional reinforced concrete tunnels offers greater flexibility and adaptability in complex, landslide-prone areas. ChungAm Enc also shared insights from successful projects in South Korea, including the legal frameworks and engineering principles behind the design and implementation of this technology.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Manh, the success of the workshop was marked by the active participation of experts from academia, government, and industry. The in-depth discussions fostered new scientific and practical foundations for the development and application of advanced geotechnical solutions, helping to mitigate landslides and ensure safer transportation infrastructure in Vietnam.

The workshop attracted significant media attention and received extensive coverage from leading news agencies:
