It is part of a project on modernising the national system of highaltitude markers to serve planning and construction works, socio-economicdevelopment and climate change response in some large cities and coastal areas.
Under the project, 99 high altitude markers will be built in 40 provinces andcities, with the aim of ensuring the accurate and consistent determination of highaltitudes at every point and every location in the country.
Work on the century high altitude marker is expected to be completed on March12, 2025. Once operational, it will provide accurate high altitudes for urban planningand development as well as construction of auxiliary works such as trafficsystems, drainages and pipeline systems, thus helping to increase the effectivenessof flood prevention, and arrange planning in accordance with the terrain./.
