The project investment amounted to 3.3 billion yuan. MCC Transportation assumed all the construction tasks.
The successful bid for this project is a major breakthrough of MCC in the rail transit field in recent years, and will further promote the rapid development of MCC in the rail transit field.
General Situation of Modern Tram Project in Zhangye City
The project is located in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, with a total investment of 3.3 billion yuan and an operating period of 30 years (including a construction period of 2 years and an operation period of 28 years). The project starts at Danxia Square Station in Colorful Danxia Scenic Area and ends at Zhangye West High-speed Railway Station. The total length of the line is 36.307 kilometers. The tram has 13 stations on the whole line, all of which are ground stations, including 5 reserved stations. The maximum distance between stations is 7,649 meters and the minimum distance between stations is 594 meters. There is a vehicle base for the whole line, located on the south side of the high-speed railway west station square.
The construction of the project is of great significance
The construction of Zhangye Modern Tram S1 Line is of great significance for both Zhangye City and MCC Transportation.
Gansu Zhangye is located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau meet. Since ancient times, it has been an important merchant town and choke point on the Silk Road. Danxia, Tianchou fertile fields, wetland migratory birds, desert dunes and other landforms complement each other, making Zhangye a city located on two national nature reserves of Qilian Mountain and Heihe Wetland, and is listed as a pilot city for ecological civilization demonstration projects by the state.
Currently, Zhangye’s existing main external traffic channels are mainly Lanxin Passenger Train (high-speed rail) opened in 2014, Lianyungang-Khorgos (G30) Expressway, and 312 National Highway; internal traffic is dominated by road networks, mainly urban The main road and provincial road S213 have no rail transit system. As a tourist city with great development potential, Zhangye City has relatively weak infrastructure.
Therefore, after the completion of Zhangye Modern Tram Line S1, a high-quality rail transportation method will be introduced into the urban transportation system, and the urban area and Danxia scenic area will be connected in series, which will enhance the image quality of Zhangye’s entire city and create a “golden track” on the track. "Zhangye" also effectively compensates for key shortcomings and weaknesses along the route, such as transportation, ecological environmental protection, and rural revitalization, and is useful for improving infrastructure conditions along the route, further optimizing Danxia tourism resources, enhancing Danxia tourism transportation service quality, and optimizing tourism industry structure. It is of great significance to enrich the tourism product system and promote the high-quality development of Danxia tourism.
For MCC Communications, this project is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Facing the new stage, new concept and new pattern, it puts forward the company's "14th Five-Year Plan" strategic plan, and further promotes the "one principle and two yuan". On the occasion of "Four New Leaders", the market field achieved has made breakthroughs and new highs.
Therefore, winning the bid for this project is of strategic significance for the company to promote transformation and upgrading and high-quality development through the use of performance accumulation, investment, financing and construction model innovation; it is of greater significance for promoting the development of Zhangye as a node city in the construction of the Belt and Road.
