With picturesque appeal—Tencent Guangzhou Headquarters Building

On the banks of the Pearl River, the construction site of Tencent Guangzhou Headquarters Building, built by CSCEC, is a hive of activity, as the first super-high-rise unilateral large-span direct-lift platform in China is under construction.

The maximum cantilever of the building is 28 meters. Since there is no cable structure at the upper part of the cantilever, the stress of more than 1,000 tons is only supported by the main structure of the building.

Longest sea-crossing bridge in the world— Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

Built by CSCEC, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world, integrates bridges, islands and tunnels, connects Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao closely, and the Greater Bay Area urban cluster achieves the goal of "one-hour living circle".

Amazing house moving—Translation Project of Houxi Long-distance Bus Terminal

The translation project of Houxi Long-distance Bus Terminal in Xiamen, Fujian Province, which is undertaken by CSCEC, has broken the Guinness World Records for the longest arc-rotation of a pivoted building with a translation distance of 288.24 meters.

Xiamen Houxi Long-distance Bus Terminal has a building area of 22,800 square meters and a total weight of 30,180 tons. The translation project is equivalent to realizing 90-degree rotation of 2.5 Arc de Triomphes, and it is the first time that the alternating walking pushing translation technology has been applied to the project in China. It is the largest single building translation project in China as well as the first long-distance and large-radius building translation in the world.

From an abandoned quarry to a five-star hotel—Shimao Wonderland Intercontinental

Built by CSCEC, the Shimao Wonderland Intercontinental (also known as the Songjiang Quarry Hotel) is the world's first natural ecological hotel built in an abandoned quarry.

Under the condition that the depth is 88 meters and the slope of the site is almost vertical, the construction process such as piling, transporting construction materials, installing tower cranes, resisting earthquakes and waterproofing are all faced with challenges and need innovation.

From an abandoned mine to a plant paradise—Jiangsu Garden Expo Park

Forty-two round surfaces with a diameter of 21 meters are connected into a whole, and they are located at a quarry pit with a depth of 20 meters and an area equivalent to six standard football fields. Engineers did not change any basic landform, and built thirteen urban gardens according to the topography of waste mines.

From a water cube to an ice cube in 20 days— Curling Venue of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
