The Youdun Port Channel Improvement Project (Beiqing Highway Bridge Zhujiabang) is the first inland waterway improvement project in Shanghai's 14th Five Year Plan to start construction and apply prefabricated breathing type ecological revetment structure for the first time. The project officially started construction in December 2022, following the Class III waterway standard, with a total length of approximately 3.68 kilometers. The main construction contents include ecological revetment engineering, flood control channels, tributary river bridges, and green landscape engineering. The prefabricated ecological revetment construction technology is adopted, with an assembly rate of 80%. Among them, the application of prefabricated ecological revetments, intelligent chemical site management systems, and multifunctional self stabilizing ships have become highlights.
At the event, visiting guests gathered to listen to the project construction situation and went deep into the construction front line to observe the application examples of prefabricated ecological revetments and multifunctional self stabilizing ships on site. This prefabricated breathing type ecological revetment structure has strong ecological characteristics and can significantly improve production efficiency; The "Three Navigation Barge 195" solves the lifting problem of prefabricated components in the advance section under the limited conditions of high-pressure corridors and narrow water spaces. These highlights, with their unique advantages, have won widespread attention from visiting guests.
During the discussion and exchange session, the construction unit and the construction unit respectively introduced the principles of ecological revetment technology and shared their construction experience with the guests; At the same time, guests from all walks of life had in-depth exchanges on the impact of engineering construction on regional economic development, waterfront space improvement, ecological green development, upgrading of waterway standards, cultural harmony, and slow traffic. They unanimously agreed that the project is not only a benchmark for infrastructure construction, but also a vivid practice of ecological civilization construction.
The Youdun Port Channel Improvement Project integrates green ecology and intelligent technology, and is committed to creating an environmentally friendly and efficient modern inland waterway demonstration project, helping to promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Delta integration. The newly built ecological revetment has demonstrated more advantages compared to traditional revetment structures. The width of the waterway surface will be widened from the original 50 meters to 70 meters, which can significantly improve the navigation level and flood prevention functions. Not only can it meet the passage of thousand ton bulk cargo ships and 90TEU inland container ships, but surrounding citizens can also stroll and play on the flood control channel, providing a more accessible and ecological waterfront space for the general public.
The purpose of this event is to use the first prefabricated ecological revetment in the city's inland waterway as a window, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the vivid innovative practices of the project, fully demonstrating the breakthrough achievements and responsibilities of the Third Navigation Bureau in assisting the construction of Shanghai's high-level waterway network and serving the construction of the international shipping center, and comprehensively showcasing the corporate image.
