The Ban Mong Reservoir, owned by the Investment & Development Management No.4 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, is located in the Quy Hop district, in the Nghe An province, southwest from Hanoi. The Ban Mong Reservoir will be 671 m long, be built on 2,800 km² of land and have 235.5 million m³ of capacity.
 

In addition to minimizing damages caused by flooding, the Ban Mong Reservoir will increase water supply during the dry seasons. The project’s owner has plans to build water pump stations on the Dinh and Hieu Rivers to irrigate 30,600 hectares of rice field and fruit trees. A future hydropower plant to be built at the reservoir will have a 42 MW daily capacity to provide an average of 160 million KWH per year.
 

Hai Thanh Tran, vice president of Cavico said: “There is a tremendous potential and demand for water reservoirs and dams in Vietnam. This sector receives a lot of focus and financial support from the government. Cavico’s expertise allows us to leverage our overall skills and diversify into this promising sector, while strengthening our traditional hydropower construction, and is in line with our overall long-term growth strategies. We are confident that our success and experience at Cua Dat, Ta Trach, Ngan Truoi, and Ban Mong projects will enable us to win additional contracts for the Ban Mong Hydropower Plant and contracts in the field of dam and reservoir construction.”
