The core construction content covers four key areas: the West Square plot project (with a total construction area of 58565.59 square meters, including an underground transfer center and an above ground bus hub), the rail connection project (with a total area of 5288 square meters, achieving seamless connection with the subway), the west end drop off lane project (with a total length of 852.003 meters and a 4-lane drop off area), and the Hangrui elevated connecting lane project (with a total length of about 3194.4 meters, connecting highways and hubs), fully meeting the demand for "efficient transfer" in all aspects. The project integrates modern design concepts such as sponge city and intelligent transportation, and will create a "super transfer center" that integrates railways, buses, subways, and highways. Citizens can achieve a "zero transfer" experience with multiple transportation modes.Editor/Bian Wenjun

Super large orders of energy storage batteries have landed,

Recently, there has been heavy news in the domestic energy storage industry - a procurement and cooperation agreement for energy storage batteries with a total amount of 15 billion yuan and a scale of 30 GWh has been officially signed and implemented. The finalization of this mega order not only demonstrates the strong market demand and development potential of the energy storage industry, but also marks a new stage of large-scale and high-quality development in the industrial application of energy storage battery technology in China, injecting strong impetus into the energy transformation under the "dual carbon" goal. The 30GWh energy storage battery signed this time covers core products such as liquid cooled energy storage battery systems and lithium iron phosphate energy storage cells. It will mainly be used in various scenarios such as new energy supporting energy storage on the power generation side, grid side peak shaving and frequency regulation, industrial and commercial user side energy storage, and household energy storage. According to industry standards, a 30GWh energy storage battery can meet the supporting energy storage needs of approximately 30 million kilowatts of new energy projects. It can consume over 45 billion kilowatt hours of green electricity such as wind and photovoltaic power annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 36 million tons, equivalent to planting nearly 1 billion trees. The ecological and social benefits are significant.Editor/Bian Wenjun

The construction of the Xi'an Yongshou section of the Fuyin Expressway has started

Recently, the renovation and expansion project of the Xi'an Yongshou section of the Shaanxi Fuyin Expressway, which five companies participated in, has officially started. The project is located in Liquan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. It is the first ten lane expressway in Shaanxi and even the northwest region, with a total length of about 79.1 kilometers. The eighth section, which is 10.5 kilometers long, is constructed by the fifth company. As the core part of the national highway network Fuyin Line (G70), it is a golden passage connecting East China, Central China, and Northwest China, and also the main transportation artery supporting the Greater Xi'an metropolitan area. After the completion of the project, a modern transportation network will be built through intelligent construction and operation, promoting high-quality development and intelligent upgrading of Shaanxi's transportation.
