On April 28, the main concrete structure of the Guangshan section at Shenshan Station was successfully topped out. The station is being constructed by China Railway Construction Engineering Group and China Railway Beijing Engineering Group under the supervision of the China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Station Construction Headquarters. This milestone marks the project's full transition into the construction phase for large-span steel roof systems and interior decoration prototypes.
Shenshan Station is located in the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone in Shenzhen and serves as a key interchange between the Shenzhen-Shanwei High-Speed Railway and the Guangzhou-Shanwei High-Speed Railway. It is positioned as a landmark gateway hub within the Greater Bay Area.
As a critical transportation node that will connect Guangzhou and Shenzhen while extending service to eastern Guangdong, Shenshan Station is set to become a gateway for cities in eastern Guangdong to access the Pearl River Delta metropolitan region.
The station complex adopts an integrated "east station + west city" layout, comprising three major components: station and passenger service facilities, urban supporting infrastructure, and comprehensive development projects. It represents a new model of station-city integration. The total construction area spans 356,000 square meters, with the station building itself covering 48,000 square meters. The station will feature five platforms and 13 tracks—three platforms and seven tracks for the Guangshan section, and two platforms and six tracks for the Shenshan section. Construction began on August 30, 2024.
The station is situated at the junction of the Guangzhou-Shanwei and Shenzhen-Shanwei high-speed rail lines. The Guangzhou-Shanwei line is already in operation, with a speed limit of 160 km/h through the construction zone.
To ensure construction safety near operational railway lines, the project team has installed full-length rigid barriers along the track level and set up monitoring points on bridge piers. These measures enhance construction monitoring and daily inspections, ensuring that both construction and existing rail operations proceed safely. Since the project's commencement, the team has safely poured approximately 400,000 cubic meters of concrete, achieving the main structural topping-out on schedule.
In terms of smart construction, the project has actively promoted the application of BIM technology, completing over 40 visual briefings for complex construction sequences. It has also deployed 13 types of intelligent robots, including automated steel bar bending machines and concrete leveling robots, and independently developed a remote-controlled small concrete distribution system. These innovations have formed an intelligent processing and construction assembly line, significantly improving efficiency.
Shenshan Station's "east station + west city" layout aims to transform a traditional transportation hub into a vibrant urban center. It will feature 24,000 square meters of rooftop solar panels with a capacity of 5 megawatts, striving to become a "zero-carbon station." Leveraging precise BIM modeling and smart robotics, the station will enhance intelligent management throughout its lifecycle. Project representatives emphasized that the station is being developed as a modern transportation hub integrating innovation, sustainability, intelligence, and convenience.
Upon completion, high-speed rail travel times from Shenshan Station will be approximately 30 minutes to Shenzhen, 40 minutes to Guangzhou, and 50 minutes to Shanwei. The station is expected to strengthen integration between Shenzhen and the Shanwei area, optimize the eastern transport network of the Greater Bay Area, and support regional development in eastern Guangdong.
