Its substantial business is across more than 140 countries and regions. CCCC has expertise in building all types of tunnel.
Recently, as the main contractor CCCC has designed and built the Island and Tunnel Project of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao link, the total length of which is 7440.546m. The immersed tunnel has a maximum water depth of 44m and the maximum thickness of sediment cover of 22 m. A series of world-class difficulties have been innovatively solved during the design and construction, such as the semi-rigid tunnel element for increasing structural robustness, production of 76000t plane curved tunnel element by factory prefabrication, installation of 33 tunnel elements in severe marine environment and in narrow channel, and the closure joint construction new method namely the deployable element to reduce the overall project risk.
Further, CCCC possesses comprehensive qualities and professional competency in tunnel engineering, equipped with core technology of designing and manufacturing large-diameter shield machine by Tianhe Mechanical Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd (CCCTH), featured in Nanjing Weisan Road Cross-River Passage Project.
CCCC was ranked 3rd on the Engineering News Records ’ list of the world’s Top 225 international contractors and 103rd on the Fortune Global 500.
