PRENN PASS UPGRADE PROJECT IN DA LAT: TAKINO FILTER SOLUTION FOR ENSURING SLOPE SAFETY

 

The Prenn Pass upgrade and expansion project is one of Lam Dong province's key projects aimed at eliminating the "bottleneck" at the gateway to Da Lat. Currently, to ensure progress and absolute safety, the pass is temporarily closed to focus on the construction of important items, especially addressing the high slopes and complex geological conditions.

 

Doubling the road width means a deep impact on the mountain slopes. Given the characteristics of Da Lat's red soil, which is prone to erosion, and the high rainfall, the challenge for contractors is how to protect the slopes from landslides during construction and after operation.

 

In this context, the Takino Filter solution from Okasan Livic Vietnam Co., Ltd. emerges as an optimal solution, fully meeting the stringent technical standards for a key mountain pass:

 

- Immediate surface stabilization: Immediately after slope excavation, installing the Takino Filter helps retain soil, preventing erosion caused by sudden rain and floods during construction – something traditional methods struggle to address in a timely manner.

 

- Handling high slopes and steep inclines: Prenn Pass has many sections with very high positive slopes. The steel mesh structure combined with the filter membrane of the Takino Filter helps reinforce the surface, reduce water pressure, and prevent localized landslides.

 

- Restoring the characteristic ecosystem: One of the biggest advantages of the Takino Filter if applied in Da Lat is its ability to "restore the green." Instead of gray concrete slabs, this technology allows grass and shrubs to grow naturally, preserving the characteristic romantic beauty of the pine forests around the pass.

 

- Japanese Durability: Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, Takino Filter ensures a long lifespan for the slope protection, minimizing maintenance costs after the pass reopens to traffic.

 

Okasan Livic Vietnam – Partnering for Sustainable Infrastructure

 

Although Prenn Pass is currently temporarily closed for construction, thorough preparation in terms of technical solutions will be key to ensuring that when it reopens, it will be the safest and most beautiful route leading into the city of a thousand flowers.

 

Okasan Livic Vietnam is proud to provide Takino Filter solutions, ready to partner with design firms and contractors in slope protection, contributing to the safe and sustainable completion of projects.
