The spring breeze brings warmth, and we work diligently. On April 25, 2026, at the construction site of Section 6 of Shixiong Railway in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, the first box girder constructed by China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau was accurately positioned, marking the official entry of the project into the upper construction phase and adding a new transportation engine to the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei.

The Shixiong Railway has a total length of about 156 kilometers and a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The successful erection of the beam will accelerate the construction of a 1-hour fast track from Shijiazhuang to Xiong'an, alleviate the pressure on the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway, assist in the high-quality construction of Xiong'an New Area, and empower regional economic integration development.

Precise positioning of thousand ton box girder, construction enters a new stage

On April 25, 2026, at the construction site of Section 6 of Shixiong Railway in Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang, machinery roared and flags fluttered under the warm spring sun. As the command whistle sounded, the large bridge erecting machine slowly lifted, and a giant box girder measuring 32.6 meters long and weighing 730 tons moved smoothly and landed accurately on the bridge pier. The first box girder was successfully erected.

This section is constructed by China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau, with a total length of 14.1 kilometers and 3 bridges, making the construction extremely difficult. The 2-100 meter T-shaped structure of the Hutuo River Grand Bridge and the 130 meter steel truss arch spanning the North Third Ring Road are all control projects along the entire line. The successful installation of the first box girder in this project has opened up key nodes for subsequent bridge construction.

Intelligent manufacturing provides full protection throughout the process, creating high-quality projects with high standards

The intelligent construction strength of Chang'an Beam Manufacturing Yard supports the precise installation of 1000 ton box girders. This 162 acre beam yard located in Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang, is responsible for the prefabrication, transportation, and installation of 543 hole box girders within a range of 20.939 kilometers. It is the smart granary of the project.

The beam yard abandons the traditional construction mode and is equipped with high-precision equipment such as intelligent steel bar processing, intelligent tensioning and grouting, and intelligent vibration and leveling integrated machines. A circulating pedestal and large-scale lifting equipment are built to form a full process intelligent production line. From steel processing to box girder pouring, from maintenance to installation, every process is precise and controllable, and the flatness error of the beam body is controlled within 1 millimeter. With technological strength, we have built a solid foundation for engineering quality in Xiong'an, China.

At the same time, Liangchang practices the concept of green construction, improves the solid waste disposal and wastewater circulation system, protects the ecological environment while carrying out efficient construction, and achieves a win-win situation between smart construction and green development.

Precise control and meticulous work to overcome difficulties, accelerating the formation of a 1-hour living circle

The construction of Shixiong Railway faces multiple challenges such as complex urban construction environment, difficult coordination of cross line operations, and high requirements for beam erection accuracy. To ensure construction safety and quality, the project team has established a full process safety and quality control system, and implemented full chain dynamic monitoring of key links such as box girder prefabrication size calibration, beam lifting machine alignment, and high-altitude beam adjustment.

During construction, the team successfully overcame challenges such as multi equipment collaborative scheduling, seamless cross process connection, and millimeter level beam adjustment, achieving smooth and integrated operation of box girder prefabrication, lifting, and erection, accumulating valuable experience for subsequent large-scale formwork beams. Keywords: infrastructure, transportation

As the main passenger transportation axis of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei intercity railway network, the completion of the Shixiong Railway will achieve a 1-hour direct connection from Shijiazhuang to Xiong'an, effectively alleviating the pressure on the Beijing Shijiazhuang section of the Beijing Guangzhou high-speed railway, improving the comprehensive transportation system of the Beijing Shijiazhuang corridor, and having milestone significance for implementing the coordinated development strategy of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and supporting the construction of the Xiong'an New Area.
