The reporter learned from China Railway Construction Co., Ltd. that on the 27th, the world's largest piling ship “Railway Construction Bridge Pile 1,” invested and built by the China Railway Construction Bridge Administration, was shipped from Jiangsu Lusi Port Foreign Trade Terminal to Brazil to participate in the construction of the Salvador Cross-Sea Bridge. According to the relevant person in charge of the China Railway Construction and Bridge Administration, before shipment, both sides of the ship completed special plan preparation, route accounting, and risk assessment. According to the plan, the ship entered the South Atlantic via the Malacca Strait and Cape of Good Hope, and reached the waters of Recife on the northeast coast of Brazil. It sailed 11,300 nautical miles, and is expected to sail for 45 days. The Salvador Cross-Sea Bridge spans Halloween Bay in Brazil. The main bridge pile construction area is 64 meters deep, and the marine geological conditions are complex. “Railway Construction Bridge Pile 1” has a total length of 130.5 meters, an operating water depth of 70 meters, a pile height of 156 meters, and a pile lifting capacity of 700 tons. It is currently the piling boat with the highest pile frame, the largest pile lifting capacity, and the deepest operating water depth in the world. It can solve the bottleneck of traditional piling equipment “unreachable, inaccurate, and unstable” in deep sea and complex sea conditions. The main span of the Salvador Cross-Sea Bridge is 682 meters, and the total length of the entire line is 46.8 kilometers.
