China's Shiziyang Bridge construction project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has reached a milestone with the completion of the bearing beam platform. 

Four units of SANY pump trucks were used to complete the pouring of the last layer of the right bearing platform of the Shiziyang Bridge's east tower.  

The bridge is set to become a crucial link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River Estuary. 

The Shiziyang Bridge is a double-deck steel truss suspension bridge. It crosses the Pearl River without any bridge piers in the centre of the estuary.  

The east tower bearing platform features two circular structures, each with a diameter of 40m and a height of 9m, encompassing a total volume of 25,000m³. 

SANY noted that its equipment faced challenges because of the use of C45 high-strength concrete. 

However, the provided SANY pump trucks operated nonstop for 22 hours, completing the task.  

The pump trucks feature a stepless pressure pumping system and digital main valve technology, which enhances direction changes by 20%.  

This allows for an additional load of materials to be pumped every hour, preventing pipe blockages and ensuring intelligent, energy-saving operations. 

Sany Group rotating chair Xiang Wenbo said: “SANY is dedicated to the mission of 'Quality Changes the World,' supporting global infrastructure with innovative, efficient, and green technologies.  

“The successful completion of the Shiziyang Bridge's east tower bearing platform showcases SANY's leadership in technological innovation and construction efficiency, setting new industry benchmarks.”
