Taicang Port, first developed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was once an anchorage for Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.
Today, it has become the first automated container terminal in the Yangtze River Basin.
On June 26, the fourth phase of the Jiangsu Suzhou Taicang Port project undertaken by the China Communications Third Aviation Administration was completed and passed the acceptance inspection. Its total land area is 914,000 square meters, of which the automated heavy container yard area is 429,500 square meters, with unmanned Operation, unmanned trucks and 5G base stations, remote video surveillance and other functions.
It is worth noting that the Taicang Phase IV Project Department also implanted "chips" for the wharf to automatically monitor the real-time force and deformation of the wharf pile foundation and superstructure during the whole life of construction and operation, and grasp the safe operation status of the wharf structure in real time .
This is the first time in the construction of docks nationwide, filling the gap in the integrated management of construction, management and maintenance of the water transportation industry, and providing a basis for further deepening the research on the design theory of high-pile hydraulic structures and improving relevant industry standards.
