Ten doctors and master graduates, under the lead of director LIU Mu-yu, have gone to the construction site of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge on August 17. They will visit and practice on the spot for three days.

    Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which will connect Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, is the most biggest projection combined tunnel and bridge in the world. The total investment will be 72.6 billion yuan and the construction period is three years, which is from 2013 to 2016. The total length of the main part of the bridge is about 35 kilometers, in which the length of the bridge over sea is about 28.52 kilometers and the length of the tunnel under the sea is about 6.753 kilometers. The width of the bridge is 33.1 meters with six lanes in two directions and the designed running velocity is 100 kilometers per hour. It will only spend 15 or 20 minutes from Hong Kong to Zhuhai or Macao by driving a car, which can benefit to attract the investor in Hong Kong to invest in Pearl River Delta and promote the tourism in Pearl River Delta.

    PAN Jun, who is the chief engineering of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project department from China Zhong Tie Major Bridge Engineering Group Cooperation Limited (MBEC), received professor LIU and the graduates warmly. Professor LIU and the students visit the bridge construction site constructed by MBEC and long-span prefabricated factory of Steel concrete composite beam with the guidance of engineer PAN. He also described the advanced construction technologies and the conquered difficulties during construction. The achieved innovation research results and advanced construction management experience were presented lastly.

Visit during the study, administration of hong kong-zhuhai-macao bridge Su Quan division chief engineer met with enthusiastic students, for students to use their summer vacations to site to extend our warm welcome to visit learning, hong kong-zhuhai-macao bridge is introduced in detail the project progress, and adopt advanced design, construction and management experience, has realized the bridge construction "standardization of largescale, factory, assembly," the new idea. To students during the period of graduate study put forward the high expectations, encourage everyone to major bridge engineering practice, dare to ask questions, innovation practice, and to their professor mu-yu liu hong kong-zhuhai-macao bridge composite continuous box girder manufacture installation and performance evaluation of scientific research project achievements gave full affirmation, and hope to continue with the combination of hong kong-zhuhai-macao bridge engineering practice concise and summarizes the research results.
