Article No.3: Rรฉunion, France modular assembly bridge project – The pride of Vietnamese technology
At the outdoor booth of the 80th Anniversary National Achievements Exhibition, the steel structure module for the Rรฉunion, France Modular Assembly Bridge Project, executed by ATAD, became an impressive highlight, attracting the attention of a large number of visitors. This is not just an exhibit; it is a success story, demonstrating the superior capabilities of Vietnam’s steel structure manufacturing industry on the international stage.

The exhibited module is a part of the modular assembly bridge project on Rรฉunion Island, Franceโan impressive structure over 100 meters long. With a total weight of up to 1,500 tons of steel, this bridge is not just a typical transportation structure, but it is also designed to withstand heavy truck loads, meeting the most stringent technical requirements in Europe.
What is particularly impressive is that the entire bridge was manufactured and fully assembled at the ATAD Dong Nai factory in Vietnam before being transported across the ocean for export to the French market. This is a clear testament to the industrial capacity and manufacturing quality of “Made in Vietnam” products, which have reached international standards.

The Rรฉunion modular bridge project is notable not only for its scale but also for the application of the most advanced technologies in the modern bridge industry. Specifically, the crane-free launching method of erection provided an intelligent construction solution, significantly reducing costs and construction time.

The bridge surface is protected with advanced hot zinc spray technology combined with a special anti-corrosion paint system, meeting the high surface quality standards of ACQPA and certified by leading European experts. The anti-corrosion paint system is directly imported from Europe, strictly adhering to OHGPI requirements, along with a heavy-duty anti-slip coating from the UK, ensuring the absolute durability and safety of the structure.

The Rรฉunion modular bridge project is a crucial part of the French Government’s infrastructure development program, aimed at improving the transportation system and enhancing the quality of life in rural areas. Designed and developed by the partner BERD – Portugal, a company specializing in providing modern solutions for bridge construction worldwide, the project has met the most rigorous European quality standards.
The success of this project not only has economic significance but also demonstrates Vietnam’s active role in contributing to the construction of modern transportation infrastructure, serving the international community, and improving the quality of life for local people.

The modular assembly bridge technology has not only been successful in the international market but is also being widely applied in transportation infrastructure projects in Vietnam. From temporary bridges for urgent needs to permanent bridges for key transportation routes, and especially its application in railway constructionโa field that demands absolute precision and safety.
The versatility in its application shows the flexibility and outstanding efficiency of modular technology, opening up prospects for the sustainable development of Vietnam’s bridge construction industry in the future.
