Nutifood announces steel structure contractor for Saigon River Pedestrian Bridge Project

Nutifood announced that Dai Dung Construction and Trading Mechanical Joint Stock Company is the contractor to supply, manufacture and install steel structures for the pedestrian bridge project across the Saigon River.

On August 22, Nutifood Nutrition Food Joint Stock Company officially announced Dai Dung Construction and Trading Mechanical Joint Stock Company as the contractor to supply, manufacture and install steel structures for the pedestrian bridge project across the Saigon River.

The bridge is a "gift of gratitude" that Nutifood gives to consumers nationwide and the people of Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.

The item “Supply, manufacture and install steel structures” under Construction Package No. 2 – Construction of the main bridge, plays a decisive role in forming the main load-bearing structure of the project, which needs to achieve durability, safety and accuracy according to the design.

The completed steel structure will be the foundation for implementing the next items, contributing to bringing the project to the finish line on schedule and achieving the highest quality. Through selecting the most capable units in steel structure construction, Nutifood has chosen Dai Dung Group to carry out this task.

Representing the winning bidder, Mr. Trinh Tien Dung, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Dai Dung Group, shared: “To be assigned to construct the main span of the pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River is a great honor for us. We are committed to mobilizing maximum resources and applying advanced technology to ensure quality, aesthetics and construction progress.

This is also a source of pride and great motivation for us to continue to affirm our capacity and maintain our position as one of the leading enterprises in steel structures and mechanical engineering in Vietnam and the region. On behalf of Dai Dung Group, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the City Leaders and Nutifood Leaders for their trust and support in accompanying us in this project."

Known as one of the leading units in the field of steel structures and mechanical engineering in Vietnam, Dai Dung Group has made its mark in more than 60 countries with a series of large-scale projects such as: Nihonbashi Building - the iconic green building of Tokyo, Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link - the longest undersea tunnel in the world, Powerhouse Parramatta - the iconic building of Australia, Misk Ilmi Science Center - the modern iconic building of architecture and education of Saudi Arabia, Lusail Stadium - the iconic building of Qatar, Shiplift - the largest lifting floor system serving the US military with the latest technology, ... In the country, Dai Dung Group is the unit chosen for large-scale projects of special importance such as: Hoa Phat - The largest warehouse with a span of 170m in Vietnam, Co Loa National Exhibition and Fair Center - Top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world, ... Dai Dung's capacity is also demonstrated through Crossing many beautiful bridges such as: Mikazuki (Da Nang), Moonlight Commercial Port (Hoi An), bridge number 19 (Thu Thiem)...

Speaking at the event, Mr. Bui Xuan Cuong - Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee emphasized: "The pedestrian bridge across the Saigon River has a very special location, not only in terms of architecture and landscape, but also right in the central area, certainly when completed it will become a new symbol of the city. And one of the important highlights is the steel structure and geometric space applied for the first time in Vietnam. This is considered the 'heart' of the pedestrian bridge project, a special project in terms of technology.

With extensive experience and international reputation, I believe that Dai Dung will successfully complete this project, contributing to making the bridge a regional cultural and architectural highlight. I would also like to sincerely thank Nutifood, the project sponsor, as well as the project participants for their great efforts, responsibility, and companionship with the city throughout the preparation and implementation of this project."

Inspired by the image of the water coconut leaf, a familiar and close symbol of the Southern land, the pedestrian bridge promises to become a new mark, a new symbol of the city named after Uncle Ho. Therefore, Nutifood has set extremely strict criteria and selected contractors, from reputation, experience, construction capacity to material supply to carry out this meaningful project.

Together with Dai Dung Group, Nutifood is also selecting the next partner for part 2 of Construction Package No. 2 - Construction of the lower part of the main bridge, the last part of the 3 main items of the pedestrian bridge project across the Saigon River. Previously, Nutifood also signed with Construction Corporation No. 1 - JSC (CC1) to implement Construction Package No. 1 - construction of roads and bridges on both sides of the river.

The project is expected to be completed in 2026, one year after the pedestrian bridge project started.

With the support of leading partners from Japan in design and technical consultancy, reputable construction company CC1, quality steel structure supply, production and installation contractor such as Dai Dung, along with timely direction and support from the City leaders, Nutifood is committed to making maximum efforts to bring the pedestrian bridge project to the finish line on schedule, achieving the highest quality.
