Japan’s Denzai K.K has announced that its subsidiary, Denzai Vietnam Corporation, has signed a crane lease contract for the Long Thanh International Airport project, which is under construction in the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The new Long Thanh International Airport is being built by a joint venture (JV) of 10 companies, including local firms, and Denzai Vietnam has signed the contract with ATAD Steel Structure Corporation, a member of the JV.

As part of the deal, two 800-t crawler cranes and other equipment owned by Denzai will operate at the jobsite of the new airport terminal to help carry out the construction work from October 2024 to February 2025.

Kohki Uemura, CEO of Denzai, said, “We received the order in recognition of our track record of providing crane operations for several airport construction projects, including the Haneda Airport Runway A Extension Project and Narita Airport Expansion Project. We are very honoured to be involved in this major project to build a new air gateway to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where the population continues to grow and the economy continues to develop.”
