TERMINATION 2 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
HA NOI, VIETNAM
PURPOSE OF WORKS
Due to the existing Noi Bai International Airport
already surpassing its designed capacity in 2007, the
construction of passenger terminal 2 of Noi Bai
international
airport
which
is
capable
to
accommodate 10 million international passengers
per annum is one of the most important transport
infrastructure projects being implemented in order to
contribute to the economic and social development
of Hanoi and all Vietnam.

Foundation of the building consists of bored piles

with diameter varying from 800 to 1500mm and
length varying from 25 to 40m.
CONSTRUCTION WORKS & SPECIAL FEATURES

The terminal 2 is a 4-storied international passenger

terminal building with floor area of approximately
139,216 m2, fully equipped with electro-mechanical
and other facilities was awarded to Taisei-Vinaconex
Joint Venture.
Due to the piling package tight construction
schedule, the package was divided between two
subcontractors.
Bauer Vietnam Ltd. has been
awarded as specialist subcontractor for more than
50% of foundation works for the main building and
the east-wing building consisting of 256 bored piles.

One high performance drilling rigs model BG 40 and

one smaller model BG 28 have been deployed to
optimize of the overall performance, whereas the
other subcontractor on this Project utilise an
assortment of eight different drilling rigs for the
works.
Bauer with the appropriate equipment and tools, an
experienced site team has also been deployed
together with well planning and strong logistics,
managed to complete our whole works including all
variations well ahead of the contract schedule
helping the Main Contractor to recover their loss time
schedule caused by others.

SOIL / ROCK CONDITION

First 20m below ground level is mainly sandy clay
following with eluvium derived from in-situ weathered
rock and bed rock underneath.
Design of this building adopted a one-column-onepile foundation system which requires a high
capacity of pile in both vertical and horizontal. In
consideration of that all the piles are designed to
socket 6m in bed rock which is up to 20MPa in
unconfined compressive strength.
