📋 Tender Overview
In April, in Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the branch of the Tianshan Mountains is still covered with silver. In the hinterland of the Beitian Mountains at an altitude of 3,680 meters, the 22-kilometer snowy sidewalk witnesses the tenacious dialogue between the builders of the Wenhuo Highway in National Highway 219 and nature. The Wenhuo project is 168 kilometers long, starting from the south side of Wenquan County, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, and ending in Horgos City. It is one of the major engineering projects of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The natural environment and geological conditions along the route are complex. Key control projects such as the Moxun Mountain Tunnel face complex geological challenges such as permafrost and water gushing and mud. The total length of the Moxun Mountain Tunnel is 9,300 meters. Although the imported guide holes adopt TBM excavation technology, if the guide holes are completed before entering the second work area for construction, the construction period will be greatly extended. Therefore, opening up the Moxun Mountain access road has become a top priority in the early stages of construction, but the line selection problem of this lifeline once plagued the project team. In June 2023, Xu Haiyang, deputy production manager of the Wenhuo 3 Batch Project Department, led the surveying team to start a survey journey. Starting from Kalagou, he rode a horse in the dense fir forest and struggled to travel 22 kilometers. After 10 hours to reach the end, Xu Haiyang resolutely rejected the plan: This road must not be taken. The fir forest along the way has grown for many years before it has grown like this. If we build a temporary road, the ecology along the line will be destroyed. During the second exploration, Xu Haiyang led his team to explore the road from the direction of Yili. Although the road is relatively flat, it needs to cross many avalanche areas and is too far from the station, which is difficult to manage and transport. When everyone was confused, the local herder guide mentioned in his chat, The ground survey team left a walkway back then awakened Xu Haiyang. During the third exploration, Xu Haiyang successfully found the walkway mentioned by the herdsman guide. After further exploration, the team decided to choose this line that not only reduces ecological disturbances but also meets the construction requirements. Once the plan was approved, the project team immediately launched a Yugong Moves Mountains-style attack, blasting and leveling nearly 30 meters of mountain to form a pass, building a snow-proof corridor, and naming and numbering all 55 sharp turns... In October 2023, the first transport vehicle successfully drove through the newly built walkway, and this lifeline made of sweat has taken on the heavy responsibility of transporting materials from then on. After the access road is opened, the smart card outlets at both ends strictly implement the three prohibitions (no traffic without reporting, no traffic in bad weather, no traffic at night). The eight emergency supply stations reserve enough materials to support 72 hours. All 55 bends were named The X-Correction of the North Tianshan Mountains to facilitate accurate positioning of emergency situations. There is snow accumulation in the 37th turn of the North Tianshan Mountain! The intercom, Mi Junyan, the captain of the Wenhuo 3-Bank Project Baotong, suddenly rang out. This special team of 5 to 8 people has innovatively adopted the three-dimensional operation model of mechanical snow shoveling + artificial deicing + fixed-point snow melting to ensure the normal production and life of the second work area of the Wenhuo project. Today, the Moxun Mountain Walk has become the main artery of the second work area of the Wenhuo Project, with vehicles coming and going in endlessly. This lifeline that embodies wisdom and perseverance witnesses the tenacity of the road builders.
