Date: 11/01/2025

On January 10, Mr. Dương Tấn Hiển, Standing Vice Chairman of Cần Thơ City People's Committee, along with representatives from various departments and agencies, held a working session with Portcoast Consultant Corporation to review a specialized report on digital transformation in infrastructure.
Standing Vice Chairman of Cần Thơ City People's Committee, Dương Tấn Hiển, speaks at the working session.

During the meeting, Vice Chairman Dương Tấn Hiển highlighted the strong commitment of Cần Thơ City's leadership to digital transformation initiatives. The city has implemented policies and regulations that reflect its determination to pursue this transformation. Additionally, Cần Thơ has set clear objectives and specific tasks to establish an e-government and advance toward digital governance. The focus is on three key pillars: digital government, digital economy, and digital society.

Vietnam invests substantially in modern infrastructure to support digital transformation, promote green economic growth, and foster sustainable development. Cần Thơ City is actively shifting its mindset and strategies to position itself as a dynamic growth hub in the Mekong Delta across various sectors. To realize this vision, the city needs to revamp its urban planning and management approaches. Digital transformation will be the foundation for developing and managing its technical infrastructure.

The city's leadership also recognizes the importance of partnering with experienced and capable organizations, such as Portcoast Consultant Corporation, to help shape strategies and visions and effectively implement digital transformation initiatives. This is particularly relevant in completing the digitization of existing technical infrastructure data.

According to the Cần Thơ City Master Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, the goal is to develop Cần Thơ into a smart, modern, green, and environmentally friendly city. This development will be closely linked to advancements in the digital economy and urban planning. The integration of digital solutions is expected to enhance the efficiency of essential infrastructure systems, particularly in transportation, to meet the city’s sustainable development needs in the future.

During the session, Portcoast Consultant Corporation introduced several advanced technology models aimed at optimizing infrastructure management and development processes. These include:

Building Information Modeling (BIM): Enhances efficiency throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure projects, from planning to operation and maintenance.

Scan-to-BIM Technology: Converts real-world infrastructure into BIM models using 3D laser scanning technology, providing detailed and accurate insights for infrastructure management and redevelopment.

Geographic Information System (GIS): Facilitates the management and analysis of spatial data, aiding in effective infrastructure planning and decision-making.

BIM-GIS Integration: Combines construction information and spatial data for comprehensive infrastructure analysis and management, optimizing operations and maintenance.

Digital Twins: Provides a digital replica of physical infrastructure, enabling simulation, monitoring, and predictive analysis for optimized processes, improved efficiency, and early fault detection.

Extended Reality (XR): Simulates real-world infrastructure environments by merging physical and digital data. This technology supports design, construction, maintenance, and operations, offering a more intuitive and precise perspective on infrastructure projects and enhancing decision-making.

These advanced technologies aim to modernize and streamline infrastructure development and management processes, aligning with Cần Thơ’s vision of becoming a leading smart city in Vietnam.
