TPO – According to plan, the 5,000-seat gymnasium of Quang Ninh province will be repaired in November to prepare for the organization of the Asian Police Taekwondo Championship.

The 5,000-seat Quang Ninh Provincial Gymnasium is the venue chosen by the Ministry of Public Security to host the Asian Police Taekwondo Championship, scheduled to take place in early December 2024 with the participation of more than 2,500 delegates and athletes from 44 countries and territories in Asia.

Previously, due to the impact of storm No. 3 (September 2024), more than 2,000 square meters of aluminum alloy decorative panels on the outside were peeled and broken. Many other items in the complex were damaged.

According to Tien Phong reporter, many items in the Quang Ninh Province Sports Training and Competition Center complex are damaged and unsafe for use.

The roof system of the water sports gymnasium broke and collapsed completely into the swimming pool area, affecting most of the items.

Some glass walls, ceilings and metal roofs of the stadium were damaged, causing leaks into the building, affecting the stands and playing field.

After the actual inspection, Mr. Cao Tuong Huy, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, requested the investor to urgently mobilize machinery and personnel to repair damaged parts to ensure the best conditions for organizing regional and international cultural and sports events, to be completed in November 2024.

A representative of the Quang Ninh Province Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Civil and Industrial Works (the investor) said that about 70% of the project has been repaired. The construction unit has brought many specialized lifting machines and replacement materials right to the foot of the project.

However, the investor representative admitted that many materials are not popular, readily available on the market and must be imported, which takes a long time… causing difficulties in the work of repairing and renovating the project.

Typically, aluminum panels covering steel structures using Hunter Douglas alloy bonds are no longer produced and distributed on the market.

To meet the goal of putting the project into use soon, the investor has calculated to use similar connections, directly produced from solid aluminum.

In the interior area, many imported ceiling panels were temporarily replaced with plasterboard in damaged areas.

The 5,000-seat gymnasium belongs to the Quang Ninh Provincial Sports Training and Competition Center located in Dai Yen Ward, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province. This is a typical cultural facility of the province, invested on a land area of ​​over 15 hectares, inaugurated and put into operation since 2018.

This is where many major activities hosted by Quang Ninh province take place, such as the 31st SEA Games, the final round of the Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) 2024, and the upcoming Asian Police Taekwondo Championship.

One of the typical architectural works of Quang Ninh such as the Exhibition and Fair Planning Palace (Dolphin Palace) and the 5,000-seat Gymnasium (Turtle Palace).
