In May 2024, the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) officially commenced Package No. 12, titled “Construction, Equipment Supply and Installation for the T2 Terminal Expansion,” under the “Expansion of T2 Passenger Terminal – Noi Bai International Airport” project. What makes this project particularly special is that construction must proceed while the terminal remains fully operational. So how has the contractor joint venture led by Viet Bac addressed this dual challenge - ensuring both construction quality and passenger safety in an active terminal environment?
