In winter, on the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River flows endlessly. At the construction site of Shanxi Guxian Water Conservancy Hub, a strategic project related to ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin is steadily advancing. On December 23, 2025, when the technical experts of China Energy Construction Gezhouba Company and the builders of the Yellow River Guxian Water Conservancy Hub Company sat together, a dialogue centered on intelligent construction, technological breakthroughs, and deep cooperation injected new intelligent energy into this "great national treasure". This is not only a technical exchange between the two companies, but also a vivid reflection of China's water conservancy construction's transition from traditional construction to digitalization and intelligence.

The Three Gorges experience empowers the construction of ancient sages

At the symposium that day, Li Guojian, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Energy Construction Gezhouba First Company, led a technical team to systematically showcase the company's strong technical foundation accumulated in the field of major water conservancy projects. The team provided a detailed introduction to the mature application technology of tower crane in world-class projects such as the Three Gorges Project and Longtan Hydropower Station, key technologies for large volume concrete construction and temperature control crack prevention, intelligent construction management system, and abundant high-quality talent reserves.

The Gezhouba team conducted in-depth exchanges on construction technology innovation, selection and application experience of new engineering equipment under special geological conditions, based on typical engineering cases. Li Guojian stated that the company will fully leverage its comprehensive advantages in technology, talent, management, and technological innovation, select key personnel to form a professional team, ensure the high standard completion of the Guxian project construction goals, and carry out follow-up project research and planning in advance, laying a solid foundation for long-term cooperation between the two parties.

Jointly promote the pilot project of intelligent dam

Liu Dingyou, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Yellow River Guxian Water Conservancy Hub Company, expressed gratitude for the technical support of Gezhouba No.1 Company and introduced the latest progress of the project. He specifically pointed out that Gezhouba has solid technical strength and rich management experience in the fields of large-scale hydropower project construction, tower crane application, concrete temperature control and crack prevention, and the two sides have a good foundation for cooperation.

Liu Dingyou emphasized that he expects Gezhouba No.1 Company to fully leverage its technological and talent advantages with "the highest standards, strictest requirements, and most practical measures", and apply advanced technological innovation achievements to help achieve the synchronous construction of the physical engineering and digital twin application of the Guxian project. He hopes that the Gezhouba team can actively participate in the project construction, fully demonstrate the "Gezhouba wisdom" and "Gezhouba strength" in the project implementation, and jointly build the Guxian Water Conservancy Hub into a benchmark pilot project for intelligent dam construction.

Promote the construction of "smart construction sites" with high standards

After the symposium, Li Guojian and his delegation immediately went to the construction site of the access road project of the Yellow River Guxian Water Conservancy Hub to inspect the progress of the project construction on site, and to have a detailed understanding of safety production, quality control, and the current technical difficulties faced. At the subsequent on-site work meeting, both parties had practical exchanges on core issues such as project progress, schedule guarantee, and quality and safety.

Regarding the next steps of work, Li Guojian put forward five key requirements: firstly, to enhance the political stance and deeply understand the important significance of the Guxian project in serving the national strategy; Secondly, we must strictly manage safety, strengthen process control, and thoroughly promote the investigation and governance of hidden dangers; We must focus on information technology construction, fully promote the construction of "smart construction sites", and ensure project milestones through technological innovation; Fourthly, we need to strengthen cost control and improve the assessment and incentive mechanism; We must pay close attention to progress management, ensure optimized resource allocation, and construct temporary facilities in one go, striving to be the vanguard in the construction of major projects on the Yellow River.
