Seven years after the opening of the Hong
Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, China's Pearl River Delta region once again ushered
in a historic moment. On June 30, 2024, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link formally
stepped into the trial operation stage, marking another brand-new step in
China's infrastructure construction. This magnificent passage across
Lingdingyang Bay, connecting Shenzhen City and Zhongshan City, with an
innovative blend of bridges, artificial islands, tunnels and underwater
passages. It is 24 kilometers long and has a magnificent scale of eight lanes
in both directions, demonstrating China's extraordinary achievements in
engineering technology.
Behind the super project: SANY's
outstanding contribution
The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link is not only a
bridge, but also a miracle in the world's engineering history, whose
construction difficulty and technical challenges are unprecedented. In the
construction of this sea-spanning masterpiece, SANY has become an indispensable
backbone with its excellent technical strength and unremitting efforts. From
the precise lifting of the first giant steel crane box of Lingdingyang Bridge
to the feat of continuous pouring of large-scale concrete at the critical
stage, every contribution of SANY shines with the light of innovation and
wisdom.
Peak of technology: the double test of
lifting and pouring
Looking back to 2019, when SANY's crawler
cranes slowly lowered the 1,800-ton, amazingly sized steel crane box, it was
not only a solemn commitment to project safety, but also an extreme test of
SANY's heavy technology. The "concrete marathon" in 2020, SANY pump
trucks with extraordinary continuous operation ability, in 72 hours to complete
the task of large-scale concrete pouring, not only completed the construction
goals ahead of schedule, but also in the field of offshore construction has set
a new benchmark. This series of feats not only highlights SANY's leading
position in the field of global construction machinery, but also provides
valuable experience and technical reference for cross-sea projects in China and
even the world.
Setting sail for a new era: the vision of a
30-minute living circle
The commissioning of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan
Link has not only greatly shortened the time and space distance between
Shenzhen and Zhongshan, but also closely connected the two places, forming an
efficient and convenient "30-minute living circle". This change not
only profoundly affects the daily life of residents in the two places, but also
injects a strong impetus to the economic integration and development of the
Pearl River Delta region, opening a new chapter in the synergistic development
of the region.
Looking to the future: SANY's road of
continuous innovation
From the Desert Railway to the world's
largest span suspension bridge, and now the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, SANY Group
has always stood at the forefront of engineering construction in China and even
in the world, and written the engineering legend belonging to China with
continuous innovation. In the future, SANY will continue to uphold the noble
mission of "Quality Changes the World", contribute more Chinese
wisdom and strength to global infrastructure construction with more
advanced technology and better service, and work together to create a better
tomorrow for mankind.
