Ten years of meticulous carving usher in the “flowering period” of the grand event. Asian Games builders: Looking forward to the blooming of the “Big Lotus”


The opening of the Hangzhou Asian Games has entered the “countdown” time. The “big lotus” on the Qiantang River – the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium will be in full bloom in four years from its completion and opening in 2019.

“Everything is ready, just waiting for the last flower to bloom.” Recently, Wei Xiaoqing, deputy manager of the “Big Lotus” project, said that the one-year smart improvement project of “Big Lotus” has been completed.

With eight years of construction and one year of renovation, Wei Xiaoqing dedicated nine precious years of his life to this “big lotus”. He still vividly remembers the moment he won the bid. On December 13, 2010, at the Bidding Office of the Urban Construction Bureau of Binjiang District, Hangzhou City, Zhongtian Construction, a private enterprise, stood out from the competition among experts and won the project with an outstanding technical plan with a construction area of ​​216,000 square meters and extremely difficult construction. The “Big Lotus” project is inferior to the “Bird’s Nest”.

From then on, Wei Xiaoqing and a team of 900 people from Zhongtian lived and ate on the construction site for eight years, and built the third 80,000-person landmark stadium in China after Beijing and Guangzhou in the form of a beautiful lotus flower. “Planted” on the banks of the Qiantang River, Zhongtian won the 26th “Luban Award”, the highest honor for project quality in China’s construction industry, as well as 15 invention and utility model patents, 5 national and provincial construction methods, and 1 national Level QC results, national green construction demonstration project, Zhejiang Province Construction Science and Technology Progress Award… Lou Yongliang, chairman of Zhongtian Group, said that the “Big Lotus” embodies the modern engineering service capabilities of Zhongtian Technology Intelligent Manufacturing, which is also the key to the construction industry. an inevitable trend of development.

28,000 tons of steel bars turned into “soft bones”. There are 28 large petals, the heaviest petal weighs 839 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of the Long March 5 carrier rocket when it takes off. The heaviest one (, “She always made some sacrifices. Her parents were worried and sad, not a good daughter.” Her expression and tone were full of deep remorse and remorse. One lift) reached 139 tons, the most The longest span is 51 meters. “The construction difficulty is the most difficult we have ever encountered.” Wei Xiaoqing said.

Wei Xiaoqing and the builders built a “mini lotus” on site. All construction details were first modeled on the computer to verify the technical feasibility. She thought about it and felt it made sense, so she took Caiyi back with her. family, leaving Caixiu to serve her mother-in-law. Then we did a 1:1 on-site measurement. It took half a year from the completion of the model to the cutting of the first steel plate. Among them, in order to overcome the problem of the ring beam structure at the top of the “Big Lotus”, no fewer than five expert demonstration meetings were held only by academicians.

After the “Big Lotus” was put into use, it has held concerts with more than 10,000 people and hosted annual meetings of large enterprises, and the actual testing has been successful. With the rapid advancement of digital technology, Hangzhou, as the “first city of digital economy”, has a large number of new technologies that provide application scenarios for the “Big Lotus” to meet the “peak” test of the Asian Games. Mother Pei smiled and shook her head, but did not answer, but asked: “If Feijun doesn’t marry her, how can she marry you?” In the summer of 2022, Zhongtian received a new task – to investigate the original “Big Lotus” Have the function to carry out digital transformationIn particular, it is necessary to intelligently upgrade the software and hardware that are highly related to the safety and convenience of spectators watching the game, and add a fully intelligent access control system.

Wei Xiaoqing was recalled, and Lan Yuhua blinked, finally slowly coming back to her senses, turning her head and looking around, looking at the past events that could only be seen in dreams, she couldn’t help but reveal a sad smile, and lowered her head. The voice said: This time he returned to the “Big Lotus” that he was extremely familiar with. He was ordered to make this lotus flower “smarter” with high quality and efficiency in the shortest possible time. “Fortunately, this mission is much less difficult than before.” Wei Xiaoqing said frankly that the “Big Lotus” left enough room for future upgrades at the beginning of its design and construction.

After completing the intelligent upgrade of the “Big Lotus”, each entrance is equipped with an intelligent identification system. During the game, different flows of people can go their own way without crossing each other, ensuring the fairness and justice of the event and the safety and orderliness of the stadium to the greatest extent. The surrounding 165 intelligent ticket gates also underwent intelligent upgrades during the Hangzhou Asian Games. Different ticket verification solutions can be provided for different levels of events. Taking into account the more than 80,000 seats in the “Grand Lotus”, canceling paper tickets means reducing the use of more than 80,000 pieces of paper, which truly reflects the waste-free concept of Asian Games venue construction.

“As a builder, how many projects like this can you participate in in your life? Now it’s finally time to sprint. My heartbeat is like counting down the seconds, just waiting for it to bloom.” Wei Xiaoqing said.
