en.Wedoany.com Reported - The main structure of the self-use wharf at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, constructed by China Nuclear Huaxing, has been completed. This project is the first nuclear power wharf project undertaken by China Nuclear Huaxing and represents a significant practice in its full-industry-chain business layout.
The completion of this milestone means that all core load-bearing structures, such as the wharf piers and beam-slab systems, along with their supporting facilities, have been fully built. Construction will now transition to the subsequent phases of dismantling support systems and installing auxiliary facilities, laying the foundation for water transport of large equipment to the plant area. The main structure of the wharf platform is a critical process that connects preceding and subsequent stages, with core tasks including the construction of piers and beam-slab systems, alongside the simultaneous installation of electrical, water supply, and lifting equipment across the entire area. The piers, as vertical load-bearing cores, form the basis for the wharf's structural safety and stability, while the beam-slab systems serve as the operational surface for future equipment passage and loading/unloading, directly determining the wharf's operational efficiency after commissioning. Additionally, the wharf is equipped with a dedicated grounding system for nuclear power applications, meeting anti-static and lightning protection standards to ensure safety during heavy-lift transportation.
The entire construction process adhered to dual quality control standards for "marine engineering and nuclear power," achieving millimeter-level precision in aspects such as rebar arrangement, formwork assembly, and grounding electrode embedding. The project team implemented a reverse scheduling of all process flows, using key milestones as drivers to push forward each phase. Specialized independent work teams were also formed to match the parallel construction pace of the piers and beam-slab systems. In terms of vessel and equipment deployment and human resource allocation, scientific organization enabled efficient coordination between above-water and underwater operations, fully utilizing daily tidal windows for work. The two main process lines were recently completed simultaneously and passed joint acceptance inspections on the first attempt, marking the successful achievement of the main construction goals.
China Nuclear Huaxing stated that it will continue to maintain the construction momentum, strictly adhere to safety and quality standards, and scientifically organize tasks such as the approach bridge project, lifting equipment installation, and commissioning.
