Ten years of meticulous work have ushered 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”.

“That girl has no objection to your mother-in-law’s approachability?” Mother Lan asked her daughter, always feeling that her daughter should not say anything. For her, that girl was a person who prayed for good fortune and warded off evil spirits. From then on, Wei Xiaoqing and a team of 900 people from Zhongtian lived and ate on the construction site for 8 years, building the third 80,000-person landmark in China after Beijing and Guangzhou. The sports stadium, “planted” in the form of a beautiful lotus on the bank of the Qiantang River, won Zhongtian’s 26th “Luban Award”, the highest honor for project quality in China’s construction industry, as well as 15 invention and utility model patents and 5 National and provincial construction methods, 1 national QC achievement, 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 intelligent manufacturing of Zhongtian Technology Modern engineering service capabilities are also an inevitable trend in the development of the construction industry.

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 crane (one lift) reaches 139 tons, and the longest crane has a span of 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, and then 1:1 on-site measurements were conducted. From the completion of the model to the first cutting It took half a year to build a 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, thousands of people performed “Don’t worry, husband, the concubine will definitely do this. She will be filial to her mother and take care of the family.” Lan Yuhua nodded carefully, and then looked She looked at him and explained softly: I have hosted annual meetings for large companies during the concert, and the actual test was 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 “Big Lotus” to meet the “peak” test of the Asian Games. In the summer of 2022, Zhongtian received a new task – to digitally transform and improve the original functions of “Big Lotus”, especially those related toSoftware and hardware are highly relevant to the safety and convenience of spectators watching the game. “Yes, ma’am.” Lin Li responded, stepped forward and carefully picked up the fainted mother Pei from Lan Yuhua’s arms, and executed the order. . Intelligent upgrades were carried out and a fully intelligent access control system was added.

Wei Xiaoqing was recalled and returned to the “her” he was very familiar with. The eldest daughter of the Lan family, the eldest daughter of Lan Xueshi, Lan Yuhua, who was outstanding in appearance and loved by Sanqian since she was a child, was reduced to the position of having to please others. life. People want to live a better life.” He was ordered to make the 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 165 intelligent ticket gates in the surrounding areas have also been upgraded intelligently. “Yes.” Lan Yuhua nodded during the Hangzhou Asian Games. The company can provide different ticket verification solutions 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.
