en.Wedoany.com Reported - The main structure of the Huoying Comprehensive Transportation Hub and integrated project in Changping District, Beijing, China, was recently successfully topped out, officially transitioning into the phases of exterior finishing, mechanical and electrical installation, and ancillary facility construction. The project, undertaken by China Railway 16th Bureau Group Co., Ltd., covers a total land area of approximately 11.7 hectares (including integrated land use) and a total building area of about 76,000 square meters.

The Huoying Hub project is one of the first suburban railway micro-centers approved by the Beijing Municipal Government and a key transportation hub and urban renewal project in the Huitian area. The project includes the Huoying Station on the Northeast Ring Line of the suburban railway, stations for the capacity expansion and enhancement projects of Metro Line 8 and Line 13, as well as public spaces, public service facilities, supporting transportation corridors, and entrances/exits. Upon completion, the transportation hub will enable convenient transfers among Metro Line 8, Line 13, and the Northeast Ring Line of the suburban railway.

During the construction process, the existing line transfer passage was located within the hub's foundation pit area. To avoid affecting normal passenger transfers, the project adopted a three-phase construction model, while also needing to coordinate the demolition and relocation of facilities owned by multiple entities and high-voltage power lines crossing the foundation pit. The project team implemented specific measures such as constructing a 19-meter span girder to protect the underground metro transfer passage and temporarily rerouting high-voltage power lines. Under the premise of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the existing metro lines throughout the process, the structural topping-out milestone was achieved on schedule.

Currently, the construction site has fully entered the stages of exterior curtain wall龙骨 installation, above-ground secondary structure masonry, and mechanical and electrical pipeline installation. A standardized process template display area has been specially set up on-site, centrally showcasing four core process techniques: plastering construction, block masonry, ALC panel installation, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing pipeline installation. These visual and standardized demonstration samples clarify construction specifications and unify operational standards.

In addition to its transportation functions, the hub connects surrounding plots via four transportation corridors, creating an elevated slow-traffic platform and establishing a three-dimensional traffic organization system that prioritizes green travel and separates pedestrians from vehicles. This enables seamless connections between buses and rail transit. The design also incorporates skylights to introduce natural light into the underground transfer passages. The project also plans to include convenient public service spaces to further enhance the travel experience.
