Excellent CANLON | Jinji Lake Tunnel Ushered In The Resumption Of Work, With Integrated Waterproofing As The Solid Escort

Focus on epidemic prevention and control on one hand and safety in production on the other hand. On February 23, 2022, under the situation that the epidemic situation in Suzhou has been basically controlled, the project management department of bid section II of Jinji lake tunnel of China Railway 14th Bureau Group held a resumption meeting of Jinji lake tunnel project to speed up the deployment and construction progress. Chen Bin, deputy technical director of CANLON group participated in the meeting as a waterproof technical expert.

About Jinji Lake Tunnel

Jinji Lake Tunnel is the first super-long open-cut tunnel built by public rails transit that crosses 5A-level lake scenic spots in China. The total length of the project is about 6.04 kilometers, the main line is about 5.4 kilometers long, and the total investment is about 6.02 billion yuan. It is planned to be completed and open to traffic by the end of 2022. The average water depth of Jinji Lake is about 1.8 meters. There are deep grooves running north-south, and the deepest reaches 5 meters. The geology of the lake bottom is complicated, while the east and west areas of the lake are the core business districts of Suzhou, which is comparable to "operating on the heart of Suzhou". It is also a great challenge to the quality of waterproof engineering.

After careful inspection and technical exchanges in the early stage, China Railway 14th Bureau finally chose CANLON’s  MBP polymer pre-applied waterproofing membrane to build the waterproofing system of the tunnel through the lake. It is precisely considering Karen's rich practical application experience in large-scale lake crossing tunnel projects——Canlon has not only successfully completed the waterproofing project of the Yangcheng Lake Tunnel, a key project in Suzhou, but also gained a good reputation. It is precisely because of CANLON’s rich practical application experience in large-scale lake-crossing tunnel projects - CANLON has not only successfully completed the waterproofing project of the Yangcheng Lake Tunnel, a key project in Suzhou, but also has gained a good reputation in the Taihu Tunnel of Suxi-Changnan Expressway, the longest lake-bottom tunnel in China.

At present, the construction of the main structure of the Jinji Lake Tunnel is underway, and more than 70% of the main line work has been completed. Canlon MBP pre-applied waterproof membrane has been applied in an orderly manner one by one. With the fine quality of Integrated waterproof, it provides a solid escort for the tunnel in the lake.

It is understood that the Jinji lake tunnel is planned to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of 2022, which will upgrade the overall traffic carrying capacity of Suzhou Industrial Park and strengthen the construction of CBD in the west and east of the lake.
