On January 16, the capacity expansion and reconstruction project of Shuangliu Passenger Station of Chengdu-Kunming Railway, which China Railway No.8 Engineering Group constructed, was put into use, significantly improving the operation, maintenance, and preparation capacity of passenger vehicles and enhancing the transport capacity guarantee for the upcoming Spring Festival Railway Transport..
This project is a critical component of the measures to shorten the preparation time of EMUs on the Chengdu-Kunming Railway. After completion, it ends the history that trains had stopped at Shuangliu Station first and then entered the passenger train station through shunting, and opens the era of two-way traffic at Shuangliu passenger train station. It plays a vital role in meeting the growing demand for train departure and improving passenger transport capacity on the Chengdu-Kunming Railway.
China Railway No.8 Engineering Group is responsible for the pre-station and post-station engineering construction of the newly built through line of Shuangliu Passenger Station, including culvert, subgrade, pipe, housing construction, communication, signal, power, catenary, etc. The building has some difficulties, such as a tight construction period, many specialties, a wide range of influence, and high safety risks.
