Discover Suspension Bridge Construction Technology with 5 World-Leading Speakers
For a long time, suspension bridges have not only served as vital transportation solutions but also stood as architectural icons and symbols of technological pride for many countries around the world. In Vietnam, this type of bridge is increasingly receiving attention and being chosen for its high aesthetic value, ability to create distinctive landscapes, and capacity to affirm regional cultural identity.
In this context, the International Seminar 'Suspension Bridges – From Design to Construction'—jointly organized by Minh Duc Group in collaboration with the University of Transport and Communications, OVM, and Tecco1—has become a prestigious forum where experts, researchers, and businesses can engage in academic exchange, share practical experiences, and introduce advanced construction technologies.
The event brings together leading global speakers in the field of suspension bridge design and construction.

4. Mr. Han Yuepeng
Presentation: Construction Techniques for Suspension Bridges
As Chief Engineer at CCCC Second Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd., Mr. Han Yuepeng is recognized as a leading expert in the construction of large-scale bridge projects. He has been directly involved in numerous iconic global projects, such as the Huanghe Phoenix Bridge in Jinan and the Tanyun Yangtze River Bridge—the world’s largest three-tower suspension bridge.
At the conference, he will share valuable practical experience on construction solutions, structural control, and technologies for launching super-long and super-heavy steel girders—key factors that could open new directions for bridge projects in Vietnam.
5. Mr. Bui Tran Long
Presentation: Design Solutions for Suspension Bridges in Quang Ngai and Nha Trang
With over 30 years dedicated to Vietnam’s bridge engineering sector, Mr. Bui Tran Long—Chairman of the Board of Tecco1 (Traffic Construction Investment Consulting JSC 1)—has been directly involved in the research and design of Vietnam’s first suspension bridges, such as Tra Khuc 1 Bridge (Quang Ngai) and Phu Kieng Bridge (Khanh Hoa), laying an important foundation for the development of this bridge type in the country.
Drawing from his experience in implementing major projects in Quang Ngai and Nha Trang, he will share valuable lessons that help the conference better connect theory with practice.
International Forum – Bridging Academia and Practice
The convergence of domestic and international experts at this conference promises to offer diverse perspectives, ranging from theoretical foundations and advanced technologies to practical experience. It provides an opportunity for scientists, managers, and businesses in Vietnam’s transportation sector to engage with emerging trends while expanding international collaboration in the design and construction of suspension bridges.
📌 The seminar will take place from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on September 24, 2025, at the 6th Floor Hall, Building A1, University of Transport and Communications (Hanoi).
