On April 28, 2026, 15 flood control pumping stations across Hanoi were simultaneously energized and put into trial operation, marking the completion of an intensive 75-day construction campaign. The milestone represents a significant step forward in the city’s efforts to tackle urban flooding ahead of the 2026 rainy season.
As part of this large-scale initiative, Hai Duong Pump Manufacturing Joint Stock Company (HAPUMA) was selected as one of the key equipment suppliers for several critical project components. Participation in a project of this scale—under tight timelines and stringent technical requirements—highlights HAPUMA’s strong manufacturing capabilities, technological expertise, and responsiveness as a leading domestic mechanical engineering enterprise.
High-capacity submersible pumps manufactured by HAPUMA have been installed at multiple key stations, significantly enhancing the drainage capacity of Hanoi’s urban infrastructure system. Amid increasingly extreme weather patterns driven by climate change, the deployment of high-performance pumping solutions plays a vital role in reducing flood risks.
Strengthening drainage capacity at urban hotspots
Several pumping stations in central urban areas have been upgraded and equipped with new systems:
- Thu Le Lake Station (Ngoc Khanh Ward): Addition of 2 submersible pumps, each with a capacity of 0.5 m³/s
- Dam Chuoi Lake Station (Khuong Dinh Ward): Repair and installation of 4 submersible pumps
- Dong Da Lake Station (O Cho Dua Ward): Installation of 2 pumps, each with a capacity of 1 m³/s
Notably, large-scale stations such as Cau Nga 1, Cau Nga 3, Dong Tep, and Bac An Khanh have been newly constructed, each with a total capacity ranging from 2 to 6 m³/s. These facilities play a critical role in mitigating flooding in rapidly developing areas along Thang Long Boulevard, including Tay Mo, Xuan Phuong, and Nam An Khanh.
In parallel, pumping systems at regulating lakes such as Nghia Tan, Cau Giay Park, CV1, Thanh Liet, and Mai Dich have also been upgraded, contributing to a more efficient stormwater management network across the inner city.
“Three shifts, four crews” – working around the clock
The simultaneous commissioning of these pumping stations is expected to significantly enhance Hanoi’s flood resilience during the 2026 rainy season, while improving the adaptability of its urban infrastructure to increasingly extreme weather conditions.
Amid rising demand for infrastructure investment, the participation of domestic mechanical engineering enterprises such as HAPUMA plays a vital role in ensuring project delivery timelines and advancing localization in large-scale, critical infrastructure projects.
