Core Viewpoint - The construction of the Pinglu Canal, a key project in the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, is progressing rapidly, with significant advancements in both physical and digital infrastructure [1][2][3] Group 1: Project Overview - The Pinglu Canal spans approximately 134.2 kilometers and includes a 5,000-ton navigation channel, three double-line ship lock hubs, and 27 bridges [1] - The construction involves excavating about 315 million cubic meters of earth and rock and pouring 11.9 million cubic meters of concrete [1] - The project is the first of its kind in China since its establishment, facing unique challenges due to its scale and complexity [1] Group 2: Construction Progress - As of July 31, the excavation, main concrete pouring for the ship locks, and navigation channel works have been completed at 91.4%, 88.4%, and 80.2% respectively [2] - The Ma Dao hub is transitioning from concrete pouring to metal structure installation, indicating a shift in construction phases [2] Group 3: Technological Innovations - The project incorporates a "digital twin smart canal" concept, integrating physical construction with digital management systems for progress tracking and quality control [3] - Innovations such as a temperature control system for concrete, a self-developed concrete vibrating machine reducing labor from six to one, and drone technology for monitoring are being utilized [3] - The Pinglu Canal project serves as a model for future large-scale canal constructions in China, providing valuable experience and demonstrating innovative practices [3]

站在广西钦州市灵山县的一处边坡俯瞰，崇山峻岭间，一个深达60多米的巨型基坑里，数百台机械 设备昼夜不停运转。作为平陆运河第一梯级枢纽，马道枢纽已现雄姿。 作为西部陆海新通道的骨干工程，平陆运河全长约134.2公里，从广西南宁横州市西津库区平塘江 口出发，经钦州市灵山县陆屋镇，沿钦江入北部湾。工程建成后，将为我国西南地区开辟一条由西江干 流南下入海的江海联运大通道。 "看着船闸结构一点点起来，很自豪！"平陆运河马道枢纽工人佟鑫感慨，这是他第一次参与体量如 此庞大的项目。钢筋混凝土之间，施工仓面温度高达40摄氏度。为在保证效率的同时防暑降温，工地采 取避开最高温时段、设立工地驿站、配备大马力风机等多项举措。 当前，马道枢纽、企石枢纽、青年枢纽混凝土浇筑、金属结构及预埋件安装正加快有序推进。截至 7月31日，平陆运河土石方开挖、船闸主体混凝土浇筑、航道工程已分别完成工程总量的91.4％、88.4％ 和80.2％。 一边，是工地上热火朝天的建设场景；另一边，一条无形的智慧运河正在孕育。在平陆运河建设指 挥调度中心，一块巨大的屏幕上显示着进度管理、安全预警、质量管控等相关信息。轻点鼠标，运河建 设的细节尽在掌握之中。 ...
