A Commendatory Letter from Shenyang CSCEC Pipe Rack Development Co., Ltd 

Introduction to the project: in 2016, Shengyang ranked top among the first 10 municipalities for pilot project of comprehensive underground pipe rack in China, with the planned arterial pipe rack in the city’s main urban area stretching as long as approx. 103 kilometers.

UCD has undertaken the design of the entire comprehensive pipe rack at the South Canal Segment, as well as the design of some of the tender-prescribed sections (the tender-prescribed sections are about 5 kilometers in all). The project covers an important area for the implementation of the comprehensive pipe rack plan. The pipe rack will be laid along the main trunk roads in the main urban area and in the neighboring areas along the South Canal river system. With a stretch of about 12.80 kilometers, the whole pipe rack will be constructed with the method of 6- Meter shield, which is currently the very first pipe rack being constructed in the old town area with the shield construction method in China. The project is of exemplary significance to similar projects that may take place in other cities in the future.

Preliminary design and evaluation of the project has been completed at present, and the construction drawing is being conducted at the moment. The SPV Company is ready for the work and the construction of some of the tender-prescribed sections has been started.
