This article is only about Hiep Thanh Industrial Park phase 1 in Go Dau, former Tay Ninh province — not Hiep Thanh commune in Lam Dong, not the former Hiep Thanh commune in Tra Vinh, and not the two neighbouring parks, Phuoc Dong and Thanh Thanh Cong. The park broke ground on its infrastructure on 19 December 2025, which means most of its factories are still ahead of it: this is the cheapest and cleanest moment to settle the floor specification, while floors are still on drawings and on fresh concrete, not repairs on a running plant.

For the wider picture, read the Tay Ninh industrial cluster and border gates overview and the Tay Ninh border-gate warehouses and logistics article. Once the site inside Hiep Thanh phase 1 is fixed, the practical question is no longer where the park is, but which floor goes on which zone after the concrete is poured, and what acceptance test proves it.

What the park is, on the record

Under Prime Minister Decision 214/QD-TTg dated 1 March 2024, the project to invest in and operate the infrastructure of Hiep Thanh Industrial Park phase 1 has Vietnam Rubber Group – JSC (VRG) as investor, covers 495.17 hectares (excluding the Xom Bo–Bau Don road, the N8 irrigation canal, the planned Go Dau–Xa Mat expressway and the Ho Chi Minh City–Tay Ninh railway passing through the project), sits at Da Hang and Giua hamlets, Hiep Thanh commune, Go Dau district, Tay Ninh province, carries total investment of VND 2,350 billion, of which investor equity is VND 352.5 billion, and runs for a 50-year term from 1 March 2024. The decision also sets a phasing condition: a later phase proceeds only after the earlier phase is built on schedule, meets the prescribed fill-rate condition and shows capacity to attract investment for the later phase — so this article promises nothing about later phases.

On 19 December 2025, VRG together with the Tay Ninh People’s Committee broke ground on phase 1; the groundbreaking report places the project in Phuoc Thanh commune, Tay Ninh province — the current commune name after administrative rearrangement, while the 2024 decision records Hiep Thanh commune, Go Dau district. This article gives both names with their dates and does not infer the merger map itself. The same report puts the park about 50 km from Ho Chi Minh City and about 17 km from the Moc Bai international border gate. When operating, the project is expected to create jobs for about 20,000–30,000 workers — an expectation, not a current headcount — and this article names no secondary investor and no fill rate, because a park that has not started operating has no such figures to report.

Why new-build timing changes the floor decision entirely

In a long-operating park such as Phuoc Dong, the floor question is refurbishment: old slabs carry oil, cracks and patches of failed coating, and every option must work around live production. In Hiep Thanh phase 1 the question runs the other way: floors are decided before the first forklift rolls. Construction joints, expansion joints, flatness, concrete moisture and the design load of each zone can all be settled on drawings and checked as the concrete is poured — things that, once machines are bolted down and racking is loaded, cannot be fixed without stopping production.

The second difference is sequence: in a new plant, flooring is not a finishing trade squeezed in before handover. A coating only bonds well when the concrete has reached the right moisture condition, has been ground to profile and has had shrinkage cracks treated where they appear. Forcing the programme by coating a slab that is not ready is the fastest way to peel the whole coating off a few months later and start again — far more expensive than waiting for the slab to be ready in the first place. The coating schedule therefore belongs inside the overall construction programme, zone by zone: zones fitted out first are coated and accepted first, zones still under heavy construction come later.

The reported zone layout, and the scope of this article

Under the reported plan, the park is organised into a production–warehousing zone; a small- and medium-industrial zone; a services–trade–public utilities zone; a worker housing zone; plus technical infrastructure, parking, water surface and greenery. This article covers industrial and warehouse floors only — the first two groups. Worker housing floors and services–trade floors are not Kadier industrial floors and no system is specified for them here; folding them into one selection table would only dilute the decision.

The reported orientation of the park is a green–smart–eco industrial park model, aimed at a circular economy, rainwater and wastewater reuse, industrial symbiosis and ESG criteria. For floor selection, that translates into a practical requirement: low-dust, easy-clean surfaces, low-odour work near areas already occupied, and drainage and ponding control designed in from the start — not a certification that a floor alone confers, since the green standing of a plant is decided by how the whole plant is run.

Floor selection by reported industry direction

Reported priority directions include supporting industries, high technology, food processing and logistics, with a green and low-emission orientation; another report also names renewable and new energy, liquefied natural gas and chip–data production. The two reports emphasise different items, so this article uses them only as a guide for the floor map, not as the park’s official industry list.

Zone Floor direction Survey point that decides it
High-tech, electronics, chip–data halls Flat, seamless, low-dust floors; self-levelling for assembly and inspection areas; anti-static only for zones the plant itself designates as electrostatic-sensitive, with earthing and resistance testing to that plant’s own standard Required flatness and cleanliness, ESD zone boundary on the drawing
Supporting industries, mechanical, electrical–electronics workshops Abrasion-resistant floors carrying point loads at machine feet and forklift stopping points; oil survey before coating Oil contamination level, point loads, forklift frequency
Food processing Seamless floors, slip resistance when wet, drainage with no ponding at work areas, coved wall–floor junctions and sealed joints Wet zones, wash areas and dry packing each need their own slip rating
Warehouse and logistics in the park Floors carrying forklift turning and concentrated loads at dispatch lanes; marked lanes separating vehicles from pedestrians; PU topcoat for outdoor and semi-outdoor areas under direct sun Dispatch peak hours, vehicle types, axle loads, outdoor drainage
Small- and medium-industrial zone Roller system for large areas and general zones; self-levelling only where high flatness is required, never as a default for the whole plant Area of each zone, flatness required, machine installation schedule

For the electronics and chip–data group, one boundary matters: not every part of the plant needs anti-static protection. Only zones the investor designates as electrostatic-sensitive need the StatGuard anti-static system with on-site resistance testing witnessed by the investor. Warehouses, general walkways and packing areas should use standard systems once load and cleanliness are satisfied; specifying anti-static everywhere only adds cost without adding protection for components. General production areas and walkways are usually considered with the RollCoat roller system, while high-flatness areas suit the LevelFlow self-levelling system. Near fitting-out lines where odour matters, the AquaBase water-based system with low VOC is worth considering, but only after load and chemical resistance are checked for that zone.

The in-park warehouse deserves to be surveyed as a job of its own, not as an extension of the plant. Forklift routes, turning points and loading areas concentrate the wear, and the dispatch rhythm towards the Moc Bai gate — the park is reported about 17 km away — means there are hours when vehicles arrive together. Dispatch-lane floors must carry concentrated loads in those hours, and lane marking must exist from day one, since repainting lanes after the warehouse is running costs far more downtime.

How this differs from the two neighbouring parks

Phuoc Dong, not far away, is an operating park with two generations of plants — an older phase 1 needing recoats and a newer phase 2 needing clean floors — and the Phuoc Dong article goes deep on exactly that difference. Thanh Thanh Cong, also in the Trang Bang–Go Dau area, is an operating park with an established mix of electronics, pharmaceuticals, packaging and mechanical industries, and the Thanh Thanh Cong article reads floors by those operating industry groups. Hiep Thanh differs from both: no plant is operating yet to recoat, and the floor decision sits at design and construction stage. Reading the three articles interchangeably is the fastest way to apply a recoat standard to a new build, or the reverse.

Pre-coating checklist for a new-build plant

First, survey the slab as soon as the concrete allows it: moisture, concrete grade, shrinkage cracks, flatness, and the positions of construction and expansion joints. Second, fix loads and frequency zone by zone on the drawing — which forklifts run where, with what axle load, and where they turn — and only then choose a system for that zone, instead of choosing one system for the whole plant and working out loads afterwards. Third, put the coating schedule inside the overall construction programme: zones fitted out first are coated first, zones still under heavy work come later, and areas under direct sun get a suitable protective topcoat from the start, since unprotected epoxy can chalk under UV. Fourth, accept on site with the investor: thickness at many points, flatness checks, resistance testing in ESD zones where they exist, forklift and turning trials at the loaded points, checks for peeling and ponding, and full curing time before racking goes up and forklifts run.

Investors preparing to build in Hiep Thanh Industrial Park phase 1 should send the plot location inside the park, the planned industry, the area of each zone, the concrete state (freshly poured or already handed over) and expected forklift and truck loads through the quote page or the contact page. Kadier quotes only after a real survey, based on area, slab condition, the system chosen per zone and the agreed programme; this article gives no price, because price lists found online are not Kadier prices and do not reflect the slab condition of any particular plant.
