The exit of Huayingshan Tunnel on Chengda Wanzhou High speed Railway is connected

On October 4th, after 1277 days and nights of construction, the Huayingshan Tunnel exit of the Chengdu Dazhou Wanzhou high-speed railway was successfully completed, marking a breakthrough in the construction of the Huayingshan Tunnel and laying a solid foundation for the full tunnel connection. It is reported that the Huayingshan Tunnel of the Chengdu Wanda High speed Railway has a total length of 8735 meters and is a single tunnel double track tunnel with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The Huaying Mountain, through which the tunnel passes, is a typical anticline mountain with obvious structural landforms. The mountain range is steep, narrow, and steep, with a trough formed by the dissolution of limestone at the top and straight ridges on both sides. The mountain presents a special landform of "one mountain, two ridges, and one trough". The tunnel needs to pass through the core area of the mountain anticline, and the geological conditions are extremely complex. At the same time, tunnel excavation also faces various adverse geological conditions such as coal seam goaf, water and mud inrush, soluble rock, and shallow buried sections, making it a first level high-risk railway tunnel.
