LILAMA 10 – Affirming Its Leading Position in the Field of Equipment Installation at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project

23.05.2025

On May 23, 2025, Lilama 10 Joint Stock Company Achieved a Major Milestone by Successfully Installing a 110-Ton Runner for Unit No. 1 at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project.
This marked a significant technical milestone and a key step forward in the equipment installation process of the project.

The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project is one of Vietnam’s key national infrastructure projects, with a total investment of over VND 9,200 billion. The project is invested by Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and directly managed and operated by Power Project Management Board 1 (EVNPMB1).

The project involves the installation of two generating units with a total capacity of 480 MW, each unit having a capacity of 240 MW. The estimated average annual electricity output is approximately 488.3 million kWh.

The successful installation of the runner wheel — a heavy-duty equipment imported from overseas — is a prerequisite for the continued installation of other key components such as the turbine casing cover, turbine shaft, guide vane ring, and turbine bearing. This also marks an essential preparation step for the rotor assembly of Unit 1, which is scheduled to be completed in June 2025.

This success not only demonstrates LILAMA 10’s technical expertise and project management capabilities but also affirms the company’s strong commitment to executing large-scale and complex projects. It enhances LILAMA 10’s reputation in the electromechanical construction and hydropower sectors both within Vietnam and internationally.

With the motto "Safety - Quality - Progress," LILAMA 10 continues to affirm its position as a key contractor in many national key projects, constantly improving and applying advanced technologies to bring the highest efficiency to its works.

LILAMA 10 is committed to further leveraging its capabilities and a strong sense of responsibility to contribute to the sustainable development of the country’s energy sector. The successful installation of the 110-ton rotor wheel is just one of the significant milestones that LILAMA 10 has achieved and is pursuing, aiming to become a leading unit in the field of equipment installation.
