Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City applies a digital management model to new projects such as Metro Line 2 (Bến Thành - Tham Lương), Ho Chi Minh City - Mộc Bài Expressway, Xuyên Tâm Canal, Ring Road 4, etc. This helps Ho Chi Minh City manage the "lifecycle" of projects more effectively.

Previously, Mr. Cường attended a report meeting on the application of digital transformation in surveying, planning, designing, managing construction, and operating projects on the digital platform of Portcoast.

Mr. Trần Tấn Phúc - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Portcoast - affirmed that the application of digital transformation technology in the construction and management of transportation and urban infrastructure has become a global trend.

Recently, the unit has conducted surveys, planning, designing, supervising, quality inspection of construction, and operational management for many different projects in ports, metro lines, heritage projects, etc., in Vietnam and worldwide.

Regarding the early application of digital management, the Ho Chi Minh City Management Board of Investment and Construction of Traffic Projects, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, and others are most concerned with the efficiency of restoring data of existing underground infrastructure systems (electricity, water, telecommunications) to resolve many current issues.

Starting digital management for two metro lines

According to Mr. Nguyễn Quốc Hiển - Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board (MAUR), the unit is very eager to apply digital technology in the construction of the metro system.

The digital transformation of the entire metro network into a 3D model helps to visualize more clearly which line goes in which direction, how the network intersects, its elevation, and the geological strata along the route.

Currently, Metro Line 1 (Bến Thành - Suối Tiên) has also implemented BIM for project completion and will soon apply it in operations. As for Metro Line 2 (Bến Thành - Tham Lương), MAUR plans to apply BIM - GIS at a high level from the beginning, so they will discuss more thoroughly with the units to apply and manage it in the best way possible.
