On June 10, the commissioning ceremony of the China Xi'an Kazakhstan Wharf Project (Almaty Kazakhstan Logistics Station) undertaken by China Construction Silk Road and China Construction Sixth Bureau was held simultaneously in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province and Almaty, Kazakhstan in the form of video connection. Zhao Gang, Governor of Shaanxi Province, Zakupov, Chairman of the Samruk Kasena National Fund of Kazakhstan, and Satibaldi, Mayor of Almaty, attended and delivered speeches. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the State Railways of Kazakhstan Saulanbayev attended. Fang Hongwei, member of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee, delivered a speech, and Ye Niuping, Deputy Secretary of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, attended.

China-Xi'an Kazakhstan Terminal will become a "new fulcrum" for international logistics and transportation between China and Kazakhstan, as well as a "new Silk Road station" carrying the vision of China-Kazakhstan economic and trade cooperation, which is conducive to setting up a fast channel for the circulation of goods between China and Kazakhstan with more efficient distribution capacity and more convenient logistics network, and helping China and Kazakhstan to reach a new level of economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges and cooperation.

High-quality fulfillment to create a new fulcrum of "China-Kazakhstan logistics".

The China Xi'an Kazakhstan Terminal Project is located in the existing freight yard on the south side of Almaty II Station in Kazakhstan, covering a total area of 9.8 hectares, covering comprehensive warehouses, container yards, railway operation lines, container yards and supporting facilities such as buildings. Among them, the logistics station and yard area is about 92,000 square meters, the annual design logistics capacity is about 115,000 TEUs, equipped with 1.2 kilometers of railway loading and unloading lines, and has a "1100+" TEU storage capacity, which can meet the needs of large-scale commerce and logistics, and will become a new fulcrum of China-Kazakhstan international logistics and transportation.

On the basis of demolishing the original 8 railway loading and unloading lines, 4,500 square meters of production and living houses, 6 gantry cranes and supporting pipelines, the project team built a new steel structure warehouse of 23,400 square meters, a commercial vehicle parking area of 8,700 square meters, a container stacking area of 9,000 square meters, and simultaneously improved the container loading and unloading area of 8,700 square meters. There are 1.7 kilometers of roads, 1.2 kilometers of railway loading and unloading lines renovated, and 2,300 square meters of supporting rooms are built to meet the needs of modern logistics.

Lean Construction Write a new footnote of "China Speed".

As good neighbors, good friends, good partners and good brothers linked by mountains and rivers, in recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China-Kazakhstan relations have leapt into a permanent comprehensive strategic partnership, ushering in a new "golden 30 years".

With the in-depth docking of China's Belt and Road Initiative and Kazakhstan's "Bright Road" new economic policy, in March 2025, as one of the important cooperation achievements of the first China-Central Asia Summit, the China-Xi'an Kazakhstan Terminal Project broke ground. The overseas project teams of China Construction Silk Road and China Construction Sixth Engineering Bureau gave full play to the advantages of synergy and linkage, and quickly started the integrated design and construction mode.

In terms of design, the project team efficiently completed the conversion of design and technical standards by sub-specialty, batch-by-batch, and met the construction requirements to the greatest extent. In terms of construction, the project team actively practices the concept of lean construction and creates high-quality projects and benchmark projects. As an ultra-dangerous project, the steel structure grid installation of the project has a maximum weight of 228 tons and a maximum span of 80.4 meters, and the safety and accuracy are not allowed to deviate at all.

The project team innovatively adopted the overall synchronous jacking method, used the BIM model to determine the coordinates and elevations of key nodes, controlled the installation accuracy within 3 mm, and used the Chinese solution to empower the construction of overseas projects, and finally completed the construction task with high quality and efficiency in 88 days, writing a vivid footnote for the "China Speed" with practical actions.

Co-construction and sharing will play a new movement of the Belt and Road Initiative

After the completion and commissioning of the China-Xi'an Kazakhstan terminal, the Xi'an Port Central Asia freight train will be the main support, taking into account the local container volume, which can promote the rapid distribution and distribution of China's import and export Kazakhstan goods in Almaty, promote the interconnection of international trade "single window", help Xi'an and Almaty to realize the channel upgrade from "point-to-point" to "hub-to-hub", and realize the "two-way travel" of the two major hub cities of China and Kazakhstan along the Belt and Road. With 800 "Chang'an" trains per year and an annual cargo throughput of 700,000 tons, the terminal will become the largest international logistics hub in Kazakhstan.

Mountains and seas, camel bells are new. Starting from Xi'an, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, China Construction Silk Road actively implements the national strategy, accelerates the transformation of the achievements of the China-Central Asia Summit, and builds high-quality projects such as the Central Asia Park, the Silk Road Meeting Room, the China-Xi'an-Kazakhstan Wharf, and the TKU National Highway Reconstruction Project.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
