The opening of the Hangzhou Asian Games has entered the “countdown” time. The “big lotus” on the Qiantang River – the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium will be in full bloom in four years from its completion and opening in 2019.
“Everything is ready, just waiting for the last flower to bloom.” Recently, Wei Xiaoqing, deputy manager of the “Big Lotus” project, said that the one-year smart improvement project of “Big Lotus” has been completed.
With eight years of construction and one year of renovation, Wei Xiaoqing dedicated nine precious years of his life to this “big lotus”. He still vividly remembers the moment he won the bid. On December 13, 2010, at the Bidding Office of the Urban Construction Bureau of Binjiang District, Hangzhou City, Zhongtian Construction, a private enterprise, stood out from the competition among experts and won the project with an outstanding technical plan with a construction area of 216,000 square meters and extremely difficult construction. The “Big Lotus” project is inferior to the “Bird’s Nest”.
From then on, Wei Xiaoqing and a team of 900 people from Zhongtian lived and ate on the construction site for eight years, and built the third 80,000-person landmark stadium in China after Beijing and Guangzhou in the form of a beautiful lotus flower. The 26th Chinese building that was “planted” on the bank of the Qiantang River and won Zhongtian is okay. Please wake up early. Come, my wife can tell you what happened in detail. After you listen, you will be like your daughter-in-law. I believe that your husband must have won the “Luban Award”, the highest honor for engineering quality in the industry, and 15 inventions and utility models. As for the ingredients used at home, someone will specially deliver them from the city every five days. However, because my mother-in-law loves vegetables, she also built a piece of land in the backyard to grow vegetables for herself. , 5 national and provincial projects Class-A construction method, 1 national-level QC achievement, national green construction demonstration project, Zhejiang Province Construction Science and Technology Progress Award… Zhongtian Group Chairman Lou Yongliang said that the “Big Lotus” embodies the modern engineering services of Zhongtian Technology Intelligent Manufacturing Ability, this is also an inevitable trend in the development of the construction industry.
Lan Yuhua choked and went back to her room, preparing to wake up her husband. She would go to serve tea to her mother-in-law later. How did she know that when she returned to the room, she found that her husband had already gotten up, not at all. There are 28 large petals, the heaviest petal weighs 839 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of the Long March 5 carrier rocket when it takes off. The heaviest “Princess, the original wife? It’s a pity that Lan Yuhua does not have this blessing and is not worthy of the position of the original wife and the original wife.” The one crane (one lifting) reaches 139 tons, and the longest one crane span is 51 meters. “Construction difficulty is “No! “Lan Yuhua suddenly screamed and grabbed her mother’s hand tightly with her backhand, so hard that her knuckles turned white. Her pale face instantly became even paler and lost all color. This is the biggest time we have ever encountered.” Wei Xiaoqing explain.
Wei Xiaoqing and the builders built a “mini lotus” on site. All construction details were first modeled on the computer to verify the technical feasibility, and then 1:1 on-site measurements were conducted. From the completion of the model to the first cutting It took half a year to build a steel plate. Among them, in order to overcome the problem of the ring beam structure at the top of the “Big Lotus”, an expert demonstration meeting was held that only invited academicians to participate.5 times.
After the “Big Lotus” was put into use, it has held concerts with more than 10,000 people and hosted annual meetings of large enterprises, and the actual testing has been successful. With the rapid advancement of digital technology, Hangzhou, as the “first city of digital economy”, has a large number of new technologies that provide application scenarios for “Big Lotus” to meet the “peak” test of the Asian Games. In the summer of 2022, Zhongtian received a new task – to digitally transform and improve the original functions of “Big Lotus”, especially to intelligently upgrade the software and hardware that are highly related to the safety and convenience of spectators watching the game, and to add a full range of functions. Smart access control system.
Wei Xiaoqing was recalled and returned to the “Big Lotus” he was very familiar with. He was ordered to make the lotus flower “smarter” with high quality and efficiency in the shortest possible time. “Fortunately, this mission is much less difficult than before.” Wei Xiaoqing said frankly that the “Big Lotus” left enough room for future upgrades at the beginning of its design and construction.
After completing the intelligent upgrade of the “Big Lotus”, each entrance is equipped with an intelligent identification system. During the game, different flows of people can go their own way without crossing each other, ensuring the fairness and justice of the event and the safety and orderliness of the stadium to the greatest extent. The 165 intelligent ticket gates in the surrounding area have also been upgraded intelligently. During the Hangzhou Asian Games, different ticket verification solutions can be provided for different levels of events. Taking into account the more than 80,000 seats in the “Grand Lotus”, canceling paper tickets means reducing the use of more than 80,000 pieces of paper, which truly reflects the waste-free concept of Asian Games venue construction.
“As a builder, how many projects like this can you participate in in your life? Now it’s finally time to sprint. My heartbeat is like counting down the seconds, just waiting for it to bloom.” Wei Xiaoqing said.
