CHINA IS BUILDING DEEPEST HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY STATION UNDER GREAT WALL

Published:2017-08-23

 

Chinese workers are building the world's deepest and Asia's largest underground high-speed railway station beneath the Great Wall at the Badaling section in Beijing.


The station under construction will be 3-story high and have a 36,000 square meters floor area, including platform, entrance and exit. The railway tracks will be 102 meters underground.


The station is an important part of a 12.01 kilometers long tunnel section of the 174-kilometer Beijing–Zhangjiakou high-speed railway line. The tunnel is the longest one of the railway line.


An escalator would raise passengers 62 meters at vertical height, and inclined elevators will also be used in the station for the first time.


The underground burrowing work is the country's most complicated, because the station has to contain 78 caverns and lots of intersections, said Chen Bin, a commander-in-chief of the project.
