With the final concrete pump in place

Constructed by China Railway Major Bridge Bureau

Malaysia's largest single bridge project under construction, the Ruba Cross Sea Bridge, has officially closed

This 4844 meter long 'sea dragon'

Both sides of the mouth of the Ruba River will come to an end

Decades of history relying solely on ferry transportation

Established diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia for over 50 years

Another monument of friendly cooperation

Ruba Cross Sea Bridge

The bridge site is located at the funnel-shaped estuary

The water surface is 4500 meters wide

Large tidal range and fast flow velocity

Surge energy can be regarded as the highest in Southeast Asia

What's even more challenging is the geological conditions

The upper layer is a soft soil layer

But hidden in the lower part

Hard inclined rock with a strength of up to 140 megapascals

This hardness is comparable to the hardest part of granite

Faced with the triple barrier of "surging tides, rapid currents, and hard rocks"

China Railway Major Bridge Bureau did not adopt the conventional wharf scheme

The cost of building a wharf in turbulent waters is too high

It is also easily washed away by rapids

The team decisively 'takes an unusual path'

Adopting the construction method of 'no wharf on all water'

Construction is like 'embroidery on the sea'

Relying entirely on flatbed barges

And independently developed water mixer ship

Accurate positioning in severe tidal surges

82 bridge piers were forcibly planted from the seabed

This kind of "overcoming difficulties with difficulty" tailored to local conditions is not

Only saved project costs

It also protected the local water flow and fishery ecology

Project Manager Hu Wei's Memories

Facing Western standards

The strict requirement of '20 meters into the rock'

The technical team spent several months repeatedly checking and verifying

Innovative and optimized construction plan

Finally, at the authoritative expert review meeting in Malaysia

Winning the praise of "Smart!" with detailed data

The project also introduces the "Daqiao Haiwei 951" super large pile driving vessel

Successfully inserted 1304 PHC pipe piles

Set a new record for similar construction projects in Malaysia

During the construction period

Chinese and Malaysian employees eat, live, and strive together

China shares advanced technology

Ma Fang is familiar with the local environment

Formed a team with complementary advantages to tackle challenges

For local residents

This bridge is long-awaited“

Dream Project "

After the completion of the bridge

Will completely change the coastal transportation pattern of Sarawak state

Significantly reduce regional travel time

Developing local resources such as oil and gas, agriculture, etc

Injecting strong momentum into the development of tourism industry

As a landmark project of jointly building the "the Belt and Road"

The Ruba Cross Sea Bridge is not only

The demonstration of China's bridge construction technology's strength towards the world

More importantly, Zhongma

A vivid portrayal of "a thousand year old bond, heart to heart connection"

As the subsequent construction progresses

The bridge is expected to be officially opened to traffic in June this year

at that time

This one is engraved with

The magnificent architecture of the imprint of China Malaysia cooperation

It will surely become the land of Southeast Asia

An immortal monument of interconnectivity and common development.Editor/Bian Wenjun
