On May 30, with the smooth pouring of the last vehicle of concrete, it marked that the Indonesian Jakarta Bandung High-speed Railway No. 4 beam yard, constructed by China Railway No. 4 Bureau, completed the prefabrication task of 1007 box beams, achieving another milestone progress in the construction of Jakarta Bandung High-speed Railway.
Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is 142 kilometers long. It is a landmark project of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the pragmatic cooperation between China and Indonesia. It is a model project for China's high-speed railway to implement its full system, full factor and full industrial chain overseas for the first time. After the completion of the project, the travel time from Jakarta to to Bandung will be shortened from more than 3 hours to 40 minutes. is of great significance to help Indonesia's economic and social development, deepening economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges between China and Indonesia, and promoting the construction of the "Belt and Road".
has three beam making yards on the entire line. The No. 4 beam yard constructed by China Railway Fourth Bureau is responsible for the prefabrication and erection of 1007 box beams, including 24-meter beams, 147-meter beams, 32-meter beams, and 39-meter beams. No. 4 beam yard is the birthplace of China's high-speed railway's "first overseas beam" and is also the first overseas "smart beam yard" for China's high-speed railway to "go global".
successfully prefabricated the "first beam" of China's high-speed railway overseas
On June 8, 2018, the temporary construction of the Bandung beam field of the IV Railway No. 4 Indonesia Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway in Indonesia was fully started. However, the plan to quickly advance temporary construction has not been so smooth. Liangchang is located in KOPO area of Bandung, with a dense population, with more than 1,800 surrounding villagers. Especially in the early stages of the construction of the site, the surrounding residents did not realize that the potential huge benefits of the construction of the high-speed rail will bring them, and Liangchang construction encountered resistance.
From February 1 to May 27, 2019, in the past four months, Li Jinzhao, secretary of the Liangchang Party Branch, led Indonesian translator to 13 administrative departments of the municipal government, and improved various approval procedures. He also often goes deep into the fields and villagers' homes, talking about each household, talking about each village, asking for their opinions and solutions to problems. Hard work pays off. With the efforts and coordination of all parties, the construction of the beam yard can be carried out.
"The Bandung beam yard of China Railway Fourth Bureau is responsible for the prefabrication and erection of the 981 box beam of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway. It is the first 'smart beam yard' for China's high-speed railway to go out, and it is also the birthplace of the 'No.1 overseas beam' of China Railway. It is a key beam yard. This beam yard has great significance." Wang Kun, general manager of China Railway Indonesia Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway project, always emphasizes it whenever he comes to the beam yard.
With the smooth pouring of the "first beam overseas", the beam yard has received CRCC ( China Railway Railway Product Certification Center ) certification before large-scale prefabrication of box beams. However, overseas beam yard certification is the first case in China Railway Fourth Bureau. The previous domestic beam yard certification experience is not applicable to Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway. The beam yard director Zeng Weixian has continuously explored and summarized the overseas beam yard certification model and requirements, comprehensively studied the CRCC certification details, invited domestic bridge experts to the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway for on-site teaching, and summarized a complete set of overseas beam yard certification based on Indonesia's special national conditions.
On October 10, 2019, the CRCC overseas beam yard was successfully approved at one time, and received unanimous praise from the owners of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, all parties involved in the construction and experts. At this point, the "Chinese beam" poured by in accordance with "Chinese standards" took root in Indonesia.
Harmony road-local relationship is heartwarming
Wanlong beam making yard As the birthplace of China's high-speed railway "the first overseas beam" is the first overseas "smart beam" built by China's high-speed railway. It has also become a window for local people to contact China and understand China Railway, and has promoted the mutual understanding of the people of China and Indonesia.
In the eyes of the surrounding villagers, Liangchang office area is like a park, with pavilions, wooden bridges, swings, ponds, information centers, sand tables, and high-speed rail models. They gradually became curious about the resistance to this construction site. Villagers often say they want to go to the park and take photos.
Therefore, Liangchang station is open to surrounding villagers in a targeted manner without affecting office work. Some of them fly kites on the blank field of Liangchang, some fly pigeons, and the children swing on and play basketball.In this kind of interaction with the people, it allows villagers to further understand the transportation convenience brought to the people by the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, and also makes them full of expectations for the early completion of the high-speed railway.
"I look forward to the day when the high-speed rail is opened. We can also take the high-speed rail built at our doorstep to the capital Jakarta." The local village chief Wawan said with anticipation.
The roads in several villages around Liangchang have been disrepaired for many years, and the road surfaces are bumpy, which brings great inconvenience to villagers' travel. The ditches on the roadside also bring considerable safety hazards to villagers' travel, and travel problems have long troubled local villagers. Since its construction, Liangchang has sponsored and built village roads for three surrounding villages in total exceeding 1.8 kilometers. As brand new village roads are renovated one after another, China Railway Corporation has also continuously gained the trust and praise of villagers. Although the language is not clear, the most common sentence locals say when they meet China Railway builders is "China, CREC Bagus!" ("China, China Railway is good!")
drives local employment "rich pocket"
Since Liangchang entered Indonesia, it has been constantly exploring the model of local management, creating employment opportunities for the local area, meeting the core concerns of the local society, and using the concept of "integration into the local area and common development" to drive the local working people to become rich.
"I am honored to join CREC to participate in the construction of Indonesia's first modern high-speed railway, building a bridge of communication for Chinese and Indonesian builders. After working in the CREC beam field for more than three years, I have learned a lot of knowledge and increased my income. It also made me personally feel the fighting spirit of Chinese participants in the construction of Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway. I am very much looking forward to the opening of the high-speed railway as soon as possible." Translator MARIA NOVITA said.
Before entering Liangchang, there were many unemployed people in the local area. The villagers rely on selling their own fruits and other small items, or working in small local workshops to make a living, and their income is very low. The arrival of this beam yard provides many direct and indirect jobs for the local area. There are many Indian employee positions such as MARIA NOVITA, such as safety officers, car drivers, reinforcement workers, , translators, and helpers.
It is understood that the Bandung beam making yard has provided more than 2,000 job opportunities for local Indonesia. During this period, the project department regularly organized technical training for Indian employees to teach local employees China's construction experience.
"With the continuous advancement of box girder erection in the Bandung section of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway and the smooth realization of major nodes, along the expressway from Bandung to Jakarta, you can see the towering high-speed railway piers and the majestic posture of box girder spanning to Indonesian people. A high-quality and high-standard high-speed railway is gradually taking shape, and we are also fulfilling our original promise." Wang Mingyun, project manager of the Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway of China Railway Fourth Bureau, said with emotion.
