In the M&E section, Newtecons and SOL E&C are implementing several complex systems, including electrical systems, low-voltage electrical systems, air condition system, fire-fighting system, and water supply & drainage, as well as auxiliary systems and process piping (LN2, CO2, N2 Liquid, N2 Gas, Steam, Chiller 6/12 degrees, RO, etc.). Additionally, SOL E&C is responsible for constructing various storage systems, such as tanks for DO, raw water, NaOH, and steam, including two large fire-fighting tanks with a diameter of 7 meters and a height of 17 meters.

At the project, SOL E&C has applied the most advanced technical solutions, such as a complex HVAC system that helps control temperature, humidity, and clean air. Furthermore, the water piping and treatment systems for both clean and wastewater have been optimized for flow and processing, ensuring all environmental sanitation requirements and water resource conservation are met. Notably, the general contractor Newtecons and SOL E&C have collaborated with the client Coca-Cola to relocate three sets of generator and synchronization panel from the factory in Ho Chi Minh City to the Long An plant. The relocation of these large mechanical and electrical components from an operational facility required the expertise of the main contractor, as well as seamless coordination among all parties to avoid any disruption to the production lines at the Coca-Cola factory in Ho Chi Minh City.
