China News Service, Beijing, October 10th: "Infrastructure Crazy" out of the circle, creating a famous scene of infrastructure speed
Reporter Li Jinlei
Why is China called "infrastructure maniac" by the world?
Just look at these famous scenes.
Musk marvels at the 9-hour transformation of the railway station
How fast is the "infrastructure maniac"?
Eyes closed and opened, 9 hours passed, and a railway station was renovated.
The train station that was "exchanged" overnight was Fujian Longyan Railway Station, which was constructed by the Fourth Bureau of China Railway.
At 18:30 on January 19, 2018, with the order of the on-site commander, more than 1,500 workers went into battle at the same time.
To complete the major renovation of the railway station in 9 hours, the construction time was very tight.
This time, the construction of Longyan Station is a Class I blockade construction, including a total of 4 Longkou, 7 dialing working faces, 3 sets of turnout removal, and 3 sets of turnout insertion construction.
The machines roared, sparks flew everywhere, and the densely packed workers worked together in an orderly manner. The picture was like a blockbuster movie.
In the end, at 2:00 a.m. on January 20, after nearly 9 hours of intense struggle, the workers successfully completed the I-level construction of turnout dismantling, port dialing, and signal replacement. Longyan station was successfully completed. Zhang-Long Railway, Gan-Long Railway, Gan-Rui-Long Railway and the newly-built Nan-Long Railway were successfully connected to the new station building of Longyan Station.

The re-connection of Longyan Station is the largest connection in the Nanlong Railway pipeline. This connection laid the foundation for the opening of the Nanlong Railway. After the completion of the Nanlong Railway, the travel time between the two places was shortened to 1.5 hours.
The scene of the 9-hour transformation of the railway station has once again convinced the world of China's speed.
American entrepreneur Elon Musk also liked it on social media and said with emotion: "China is developing advanced infrastructure more than 100 times faster than the United States!"
The 589-meter overpass was demolished in 8 hours
How fast is the "infrastructure maniac"?
Eyes closed again and again, 8 hours passed, and the 589-meter-long overpass was demolished.
What was demolished overnight was the Longwangmiao overpass in Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Built in 1992, the overpass had been "in service" for 25 years when it was demolished in 2017.
The reason for dismantling it is because this overpass is a "simple" overpass. With the development of transportation in Nanchang, the Longwangmiao overpass can no longer meet the needs of vehicle traffic.
Therefore, the old bridge must be demolished and a new bridge built.
However, there are many difficulties in demolishing the bridge. The bridge is located in the main urban area with large traffic flow and cannot be closed for a long time. The total construction period is less than 60 hours, the construction period is extremely tight, and the amount of construction is large. It is 7.6 meters long, and the underground pipeline is complicated. A little careless construction will affect the water and gas consumption of more than 1,000 households along the line.
But this did not stop the "infrastructure madman". The China Railway Fourth Bureau dispatched more than 200 excavators to work at the same time.
The excavators lined up on both sides of the bridge stretched out their long arms like ants, trying hard to eat the steel and concrete. The demolition site was spectacular.
Eventually, the behemoth disappeared overnight.

"China's efficiency" once again amazes the world.
The British media couldn't help sighing: "This is what we call efficiency!"
There are many more famous scenes created by "Infrastructure Maniac":
In Chongqing, the "air ballet" with five bridges rotating at the same time was staged. Five large-span concrete beam bridges with a total length of 383.5 meters and a total weight of 21,500 tons (equivalent to 15,000 cars) completed an 88-degree turn. Finally, accurate connection is achieved.
In Xiamen, the 30,000-ton passenger station "walked up" and moved 288 meters, and turned 90 degrees, successfully performing the most awesome "moving house".
In Wuhan, Huoshenshan Hospital was built in 10 days, and Leishenshan Hospital was built in 12 days, allowing the world to once again see the speed of China's infrastructure construction.
On the southeast coast, the "Infrastructure Crazy Demon" assembled more than 20,000 builders to build the 55-kilometer-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world.
In the Northwest Desert, the Heruo Railway was built in just over three years, which "enclosed" the Taklimakan Desert and shortened the journey of Hotan people by more than 1,000 kilometers.
The achievements of "Infrastructure Crazy Demons" are obvious to all. They continue to connect and connect all parts of the country into one.
In the past ten years, the operating mileage of high-speed railways has increased from less than 10,000 kilometers to 40,000 kilometers, and the mileage of expressways has increased from 96,000 kilometers to 169,000 kilometers. China has the largest high-speed railway network and expressway network in the world.
Why is the "infrastructure maniac" so fast?
How did the "infrastructure madman" create these incredible famous scenes?
Li Qinggang, chief engineer of Hongdu Avenue of the China Railway Fourth Bureau, who participated in the overnight demolition of the overpass, believes that the reason why China's infrastructure construction is so fast is that China's infrastructure approval work is highly efficient.
Second, China has a strong and system-wide manufacturing industry, and the raw materials needed for infrastructure construction are abundant.
Third, the leading force of science and technology has been continuously enhanced, and the innovation of process tooling has continuously accelerated the speed of project construction.
China's infrastructure, the calibration of China's speed.
"Infrastructure madman", polishing the background of a strong country.
