There is a corridor of LPG, LNG and condensate pipelines passing through the industrial park and connecting to PVGas Thi Vai, convenient to supply natural gas, industrial gas, liquid chemicals as materials and fuels and to use berth and tank services of PVGAS Terminal to import and export liquid chemicals; the ability to supply clean water with large capacity (100,000m3/day), suitable for the development of heavy industries, food industry...; industrial infrastructure utilities (natural gas, industrial gas, telecommunications...) are provided to the fence of the customer's land; the centralized wastewater treatment plant of the industrial park meets standard A - the highest standard according to Vietnam's discharge standards; modern underground power cable system and a team of engineers on duty 24/7, ensuring a stable power for production and daily life…. In addition to industrial items, Phu My 3 Industrial Park also plans a subdivision of nearly 140 hectares to develop into a utility service area (villas, apartments, hotels, commercial centers, dormitory, restaurants, … are designed with beautiful landscape, surrounded by sports park with 18-hole golf course, swimming pool, tennis court, football field...); thereby creating a quality living environment, meeting the daily needs of officials, employees, engineers, managers and experts.
