Tunnel shares: The test and experience of Expo project

It was particularly busy to move an important base from the Lupu Bridge near the Expo site to Yang, the general manager of the tunnel in Putuo district.　　Despite the ending of many projects related to the Expo, the company has a number of other projects and is moving ahead. The tunnel shares of the predecessor of Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Company, was founded in 1965. It is one of the earliest engineering construction units for Shield tunnel test and engineering application in China.　　From August 1965 to September 1970, it built the first River tunnel in China--Shanghai Dapu tunnel. Yang told the first financial daily reporter, with the expo-related Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel, Waitan Tunnel, Dapu Tunnel, Shanghai, a number of rail transport projects, have been the figure of the tunnel shares.　　Therefore, the relationship between the Expo and the tunnel shares is very close.　　Landmark Expo Project company deputy General Manager Fang Wei to reporters an example: has completed the construction of Shanghai Dapu Tunnel double track Project is the World Expo's major ancillary projects, its length of 2.969km, is connected to Pudong, Puxi Expo Park, an important channel.　　March 28 This year, the opening of the Waitan Tunnel is a landmark Expo project-it set the world's complex conditions under the super large diameter shield construction first, the restoration of the Waitan historical features.　　In fact, a common feature of many expo projects is the difficulty and risk. "During the construction period of the subway Line Line 1, the tunnel shares had 50% of the project volume, that is, if 10 km was built, 5 kilometers were built by us." However, with the speed of Shanghai municipal construction in recent years, many tunnels, subways, competition has become extremely fierce, we can not occupy such a large market share. Some difficult and risky projects are for us to bear. This gives our project manager, the front-line staff provides the very good study, the practice opportunity.　　"Yang said.　　Yang pointed out that the Waitan tunnel is less than 4000 meters away, covering the shield propulsion, bridge construction, municipal support, high-rise buildings, electrical installation and many other processes as a whole, and is located in the city's core underground environment complex, shield-driven axis and the surface of the world's Architectural Expo group accompanied. The surface of the project seems calm, but the ground is everywhere. Due to the lack of historical data, construction in the expedition forward.　　After overcoming various difficulties, the Waitan tunnel was successfully built. And the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel, and to observe the World Expo guests to provide a straight line to Shanghai Chongming travel convenience. In the project, the tunnel shares created a 7.5-kilometer-a-year world record of Shield tunneling, while two large, 15.43-meter-wide shield machines also went down in history, with the deepest tunnel buried deep enough to reach 55 meters.　　Some foreign peers, after seeing these figures and witnessing the face of the Yangtze River Tunnel, lamented the rapid progress of manufacturing in China.　　In fact, after the completion of these major expo projects, the tunnel shares in the industry's position more solid. Fang Wei very regrets to this reporter said: "We have started in Wuxi this year 3 projects, this is very rare." In addition, Hangzhou No. 1, 2ndSubway line also has our builders, Henan, Tianjin, Wuhan and other land are also doing projects.　　Yang said that many of the company's project managers are very young, and some foreign investors even think that tunnel shares can send such young people to operate, in the end? Business from single to multiple however, because the project managers and staff of the tunnel shares were fully trained in the project before the expo, they solved many world-class engineering problems. Therefore, after contact with each other, local governments, investors are impressed. "The expansion of the company can not be separated from the expo."　　"Yang said. Fang provides a set of numbers: "After the success of the World Expo bid, from the end of 2003 to 2009 in the past few years, the tunnel shares of the main business income from 5.27 billion yuan to 15.08 billion yuan, net assets from 1.76 billion to 3.607 billion yuan, investment in science and technology has turned 30 times times, reached 300 million yuan. The company's business plate was very single, is to construction for the main business. Now it has been developed to many branches, such as construction, investment and manufacturing, and has changed a lot.　　"After the expo, some projects have ended, but there are still new challenges to follow." Yang told reporters: "We have received a lot of field projects, we must do a good job, do solid." To use a lot of experience gained in the Expo project.　　"On the other hand, the domestic tunnel project competition is also very fierce, the state-owned enterprises have the responsibility to retain the best talent in various ways."　　Yang said, in fact, the central enterprise-China Railway, China Railway built these years to rise quickly, they in Shanghai and all over the many projects, and TENGDA, macro-run and other private enterprises also have a strong strength, some privately owned companies to hundreds of thousands of of the high salary "rob" people. "As an old state-owned enterprise, there are still some social responsibilities, it is impossible to give employees a very high price, but the tunnel shares will still allocate funds to reward important engineering and scientific and technical personnel, and participate in world-class projects, this is a key talent strategy for tunnel shares." ”
