Anhui Construction Engineering Completes Main Structure of Largest Pump Station in Fangqiuhu Lowland Project

On the morning of November 28, the main structure of Chenying Station—the largest pump station in the Fangqiuhu Lowland Management Project (within Bengbu) under the Huai River Flood Storage and Detention Area initiative—was successfully topped out. The milestone marks a significant phase achievement for the project undertaken by Anhui Construction Engineering Group Corporation Limited (600502).

During construction, the project team optimized work plans by accounting for weather, winter conditions, and night shifts while ensuring comprehensive safety protocols. Supervisors maintained round-the-clock oversight to monitor concrete pouring progress, guaranteeing quality and compaction. For large-volume concrete works, layered segmental pouring techniques were employed to precisely control thickness and intervals, ensuring structural integrity.

As the project’s core facility, Chenying Station faced challenges including land acquisition complexities, heavy construction demands, and flood-control pressures. The team adopted high-standard planning and execution, refining construction organization, optimizing resource allocation, and implementing 24-hour shifts with staggered schedules to maximize efficiency.

Alongside progress milestones, the team reinforced safety management and logistics, conducting routine hazard inspections and quality checks. Key phases—foundation work, embankment restoration, gate installation, and main structure construction—were completed seamlessly, laying a solid foundation for the project’s "excellence-driven, high-quality delivery" goal.

Chenying Station, the largest pump station in the Fangqiuhu Lowland system, covers a drainage area of 25.1 km² with dual self-draining and pumping capabilities. Designed for a pumping capacity of 52.5 m³/s and self-draining capacity of 59.2 m³/s, its 6,000 KW total installed capacity will significantly enhance flood resilience in Bengbu’s Lin-gang Industrial Park, elevating drainage standards to a 30-year recurrence interval and supporting regional economic development.
