[CREC small diameter hard rock excavation machine Longrun is offline] On August 8, 2023, the world water diversion project's minimum diameter single shield TBM "Longrun" (CREC 1325), jointly developed by CREC Tunnel Bureau and CREC Equipment, was successfully launched in Deyang, Sichuan. The equipment will be applied to the Qimashan Tunnel project of the Dali construction section of the Dianzhong Water Diversion Phase II supporting project. The second phase of the Dianzhong Water Diversion Project is to divert high-quality water from the relatively abundant Jinsha River mainstream in the snowy plateau to the central Yunnan region, alleviate the contradiction between production and living water shortage in the central Yunnan region, improve the ecological and water environment conditions of rivers and lakes in the region, and have significant significance for the sustainable development of the social and economic development of Yunnan Province. The "Longrun" single shield TBM has an excavation diameter of 4.6 meters and a total length of 480 meters.
