Builders from China Railway No.4 Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (CREC4) precisely lifted the first steel-structure grid to the steel structure roof for a major railway station in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, on October 24, marking new progress on building the Guangzhou-Shantou Railway.
The steel-structure grid was installed on steel structure roof of the South Yard of Main Station Building at Xintang Station, marking the close of the steel structure roof for the station on the Guangzhou-Shantou Railway.
Constructors from CREC4 Construction Engineering Co are undertaking the job at Xintang Station, which is located in Xintang Township under Zengcheng District. The station, constructed by the station building construction headquarters of China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and undertaken by CREC4, will be one of the main large-scale smart railway hubs of the new Guangzhou-Shantou Railway and the eastern hub center of the “five main arteries and three auxiliary links” for Guangzhou’s railway hubs.
After put into operation, the station will not only help improve Zengcheng’s link with the outside regions, but also help connect the Guangzhou-Shantou Railway with the world-class railway hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
It has been learned that the central mileage of the station is DK41+150, and the total construction area for the station is 130,000 square meters. Composed of a platform layer, a ground waiting-room layer, an elevated entrance layer and an inter-layer, the station will own seven platforms with 17 lines.
In order to ensure the safe and efficient hoisting of the first grid structure, CREC4 Construction Engineering staffers designed a special construction plan in the early stage, assigned special personnel to repeatedly inspect the multiple processes and provided all-round guarantee for the smooth erection.
