取土难题如何解决？项目组研发了一套智能取土机器人。方林坐在项目部的指挥室里，向记者展示机器 人的操作。只见他实时调整机器人位置，并通过机器人搭载的水下视频监控、前视声呐和避碰声呐传感 器对施工环境进行监测。随着钻头旋转，水底下的土块立刻被击碎，并通过管道排到沉井以外。同时， 机器人工作臂可以进行360度的旋转、伸缩，解决了取土盲区的难题。 李杰介绍："原来进行1个作业面作业需要6个人操作，每个小时只能绞吸黏土40立方米左右。有了这款 智能取土机器人，只需要一个人操作，取土效率达到每小时200立方米，让主塔沉井的取土下沉就位作 业提前两个月完成。" 装配化施工让主塔每天"长高"1.2米 传统桥塔钢筋施工一般需要工人身处高空，将钢筋逐根绑扎，但是常泰长江大桥中塔柱为四塔肢空间钻 石型结构，空间倾斜角度达到8度，传统工艺的高空作业安全保障、施工效率和精度控制已经不适应施 工需求。 近日，世界最大跨度斜拉桥——常泰长江大桥正在进行交工前的各项检测工作，预计8月基本建成。"届 时，江苏常州与泰州之间通行时间将从1小时20分钟缩短至20分钟左右，进一步推动跨江城市群协调发 展。"江苏省交通工程建设局常泰长江大桥建设指挥部 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel has been awarded the George S. Richardson Medal at the 2025 International Bridge Conference (IBC), marking it as the only project from China to receive this honor in the current session [1][2]. Group 1: Award Significance - The IBC is a prestigious academic conference with significant influence in the global bridge community, and its awards are considered the "Nobel Prize" of the bridge industry [1][2]. - The George S. Richardson Medal is the oldest and most influential award established by the International Bridge Association, focusing on outstanding achievements in design, construction, research, and education [2]. Group 2: Project Innovations - The Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel is the second bridge project in Guangdong Province to receive this award, following the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Channel [2]. - The project team has achieved several innovative results in aesthetic design, structural systems, damping devices, wind vibration control technology, and industrialized construction methods [2][3]. - Technologies such as central auxiliary cables, liquid viscous dampers, and friction pendulum isolation bearings have significantly enhanced the bridge's stiffness and durability [3]. Group 3: Environmental and Economic Impact - The project incorporates industrialized construction techniques that improve precision and efficiency, achieving millimeter-level accuracy in construction [4]. - The design emphasizes ecological protection, avoiding sensitive areas to ensure harmony with the natural environment [4]. - As a vital infrastructure for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Huangmaohai Cross-Sea Channel enhances connectivity and promotes coordinated regional economic development [4].
