On the morning of March 13, 2021, the "Second Conference on Innovation in Mountain Bridge Construction and Maintenance Technology," co-hosted by our company and the "Bridge Engineering and Technology Network," was solemnly held at the East景 Hilton Hotel in Guiyang. Yang Jian, our company’s chief engineer, presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. Zhang Qunli, Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Highway Society, attended the conference and also delivered a speech.

Also attending the meeting were Xu Xianghua, Chief Engineer of the Provincial Department of Transport; Huang Qiang, Director of the Construction and Management Division of the Provincial Department of Transport; Han Hongju, Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer of Guizhou Transportation Construction Group Co., Ltd.; Zhang Shenglin, Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer of Guizhou Highway Engineering Group Co., Ltd.; and Mu Jinwei, Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer of Guizhou Bridge Construction Group Co., Ltd., along with other leaders and guests.

Chief Engineer Yang Jian presided over the opening ceremony.

As China’s bridge construction continues to develop, mountainous-region bridges are increasingly becoming the primary battleground for bridge-building efforts. Moreover, the management and maintenance of a large number of existing bridges have become the core focus of the bridge industry. Given the unique geological and topographical features of mountainous regions—along with their harsh climatic conditions, frequent natural disasters, and fragile ecological environments—holding technical innovation and exchange activities focused on mountainous-region bridge construction and maintenance will help address major theoretical challenges and core common technological issues in the fields of mountain bridge construction and safe operation, thereby further enhancing the scientific level of mountain bridge construction and maintenance. This conference, held in Guizhou—a region renowned as the “World Bridge Museum”—holds profound significance in guiding the technological development trends in mountain bridge engineering.

Grand scene at the conference

The conference invited renowned experts and scholars in the field of bridge engineering—including Chen Kejian, Peng Yuancheng, Tian Qixian, and Zhou Shuixing—from China Railway Second Institute, China Communications Construction First Institute, China Communications Construction Second Institute, China Railway Yangtze River Institute, and China Railway Bridge Research Institute—to deliver special keynote speeches. The event was structured as a main forum plus parallel sub-forums, and attracted more than 260 participants.

The experts from the company who participated in the forum and delivered academic presentations are:

Du Yan, General Manager of the Smart Industry Division

Report Title: Research and Application of Safety Assurance Technologies for the Operation of Extra-large Bridges under Special Meteorological Conditions

2. Su Long, Deputy General Manager of Hongxin Chuanda Engineering Inspection and Consulting Co., Ltd.

The next day, the delegation of participants took a bus to the site of the Huayu Cave Bridge reconstruction project for an on-site observation. Chief Engineer Yang Jian gave the observation group a detailed introduction to the bridge’s design concept, key challenges and critical points of the project, construction techniques, technological innovations, and safety and quality management practices. The observation group highly praised the construction of the Huayu Cave Bridge.

“Red rain, at will, turns into waves; green mountains, with deliberate intent, transform into bridges.” The Second Conference on Innovation in Mountain Bridge Construction and Maintenance concluded after the site visit. This event was a major milestone in the field of bridge construction and maintenance research—a true feast for bridge professionals.

The successful holding of this conference has received unanimous praise from the attending leaders, experts, and delegates. The forum fully demonstrated the company’s strength in bridge industry design, inspection, health monitoring, and product R&D, showcasing its relevant products and comprehensive end-to-end solutions. At a time when transportation infrastructure development is shifting toward high-quality growth and transformation, this event has comprehensively enhanced the company’s leading position in mountainous bridge construction and maintenance.
