• Internal road transportation combines with the external transportation system to form a grid network. The width of the internal routes is from 16-24m.

– Water transportation: Ong Doc River is an important national water transportation system that passes through the planned area. A system of docks and wharves is built to facilitate water transportation.

Water supply system:

• The total water supply demand for the planned area is approximately 9,000 m³ per day.
• The water supply source is groundwater. Building a water pumping station with a capacity of 10,000 m³/day and night.
• The water supply network uses HDPE pipes laid along the roads, buried at a depth of 0.7 to 1.0 meters, and with a distance of 0.50 meters from the road boundary.

Firefighting system:

• The industrial park has installed fire hydrants on all roads located on the sidewalk, with a distance of 0.5 meters from the edge of the sidewalk.
• The distance between fire hydrants ranges from 100 to 300 meters.

Power supply system:

• The power demand is approximately 34.6 MW (40.7 MVA).
• Initially, power is supplied from the 35/22 kV Cai Tau Substation.
• There are plans to construct a new 110/22 kV Substation with a capacity of 1×63 MVA in the long term. This substation will provide a medium-voltage 22 kV power supply for the planned area as well as the neighboring regions..

Lighting system:

• Lighting for the transportation routes in the Industrial Zone meets the following standards: Main roads: 1.2 Cd/m², Secondary roads: 0.8 Cd/m².
• All transportation routes are illuminated using a high-pressure lighting system.
• Underground cable for lighting, buried underground.
• The lighting system receives power from transformer stations and control centers within the infrastructure.

Stormwater drainage system:

• The wastewater drainage system is separate from the stormwater drainage system, with a distinct design for each.
• The entire industrial zone is divided into two drainage basins. The Western basin drains into the U Minh – Tac Thu canal, while the Eastern basin drains into the Ong Doc River.

Wastewater drainage system:

• The total wastewater volume for the planned area is approximately 7,200 m³ per day.
• The industrial park has built a wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 8,000 m³ per day.
