[Welding construction of China-Laos railway seamless track completed]On September 16, 2021, the welding construction of more than 400 kilometers of seamless track of the China-Laos Railway of China Railway Second Bureau was completed. Since the rail welding team of the China-Laos Railway Track Laying Base of China Railway Second Bureau broke ground in May 2020, the cadres and employees of the rail welding base have overcome the difficulties of construction sites and late equipment arrivals in the rainy season. They have passed through 75 tunnels, 165 bridges, 20 stations, which lasted 16 months, successfully completed the welding construction tasks of 500-meter long rails and seamless tracks on the whole line.

On April 21, 2026, the 19000 ton rotating beam of the Hewu High speed Railway over the Ningxi Railway completed an "aerial turn" and successfully crossed the Ningxi Railway. The weight of the beam is 19157.8 tons, and the rotation accuracy requirement is that the error should not exceed 10 millimeters. Due to its proximity to busy main roads, the construction team relies on an intelligent monitoring platform to monitor posture, stress, and wind speed in real-time, and cooperates with a synchronous traction system to achieve precise counterclockwise rotation and positioning. The successful transformation marks significant progress in the project.Editor/Cheng Liting
