On January 15th, the Russian Free Media Network published an article titled "Miracle of Xinjiang: Tianshan Tunnel and Pumped Storage Power Station", written by Dmitry Kapustin. The article excerpt is as follows:
The world's longest highway tunnel was completed on the eve of New Year's Day. This tunnel, over 22 kilometers long, is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, on a newly constructed highway from Urumqi to Yuli
The project was launched within the framework of modernizing the transportation infrastructure in the autonomous region, aiming to facilitate communication between the north and south of Xinjiang. It is expected that the tunnel will be opened later this year, significantly reducing the travel time between the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
This tunnel will shorten the travel time from Urumqi, the capital of the autonomous region, to Yuli from the past few hours to 20 minutes. This is very important for Xinjiang, as the Tianshan Mountains have formed a natural barrier that spans 2500 kilometers from east to west, increasing the difficulty of transporting goods
Tunnel construction is a real challenge for engineering personnel. It needs to excavate shafts to meet the ventilation requirements in the construction of extra long tunnels and in the later operation. The deepest shaft is 706 meters deep, which is higher than the height of Oriental Pearl TV Tower Radio and Television Tower in Shanghai
Such a large-scale project not only requires high-level experts, but also the use of the most modern technology and equipment. Chinese engineers have utilized innovative excavation and tunnel wall reinforcement techniques to minimize the risk of collapse and other accidents
The construction of tunnels also takes into account environmental factors. This project has undergone an environmental impact assessment and measures have been developed to minimize adverse effects. For example, they adopted a new construction technology to ensure the air quality of the project site, comprehensively treated the water body, and monitored to ensure that the water quality meets the standards
China is a global leader in the construction of ultra long highway tunnels. There are many highway tunnels in China that are over 10 kilometers long. In Xinjiang, several large tunnels are being constructed simultaneously as part of the road infrastructure development plan
The East Tianshan Tunnel, West Tianshan Extra Long Tunnel, and Tianshan Victory Tunnel cross the Tianshan Mountains and connect important highways, including China's longest national highway 219, which extends from the southern border with Vietnam to the northern border, with a total length of about 10000 kilometers
The new tunnel will not only optimize logistics, but also promote economic development in the entire northwest region of China. The convenience of transportation connections contributes to the development of trade and tourism
Under China's layout, Xinjiang is building the largest Ruoqiang pumped storage power station in the autonomous region, which will ensure the stability of the power system in this region rich in new energy
Pumped storage power stations utilize excess electricity during non peak periods of electricity consumption to pump water to reservoirs at higher elevations for storage. Once there is a problem with the power supply or the power load is too high, these waters can be used to drive the hydro generator units to generate electricity, cut peak and fill valley, and avoid fluctuations in the power grid
The total investment of Ruoqiang pumped storage power station is about 16.5 billion yuan, with a total installed capacity of 2.1 million kilowatts
After it is put into operation, the local coal consumption will significantly decrease. This contributes to the improvement of the ecological environment. But most importantly, Xinjiang will gain momentum for economic development
Moreover, Xinjiang has a large amount of new energy and mineral resources. The expressway from Urumqi to Ruoqiang will ensure the transportation and circulation of talents and goods
According to the strategy of developing Xinjiang, all infrastructure projects here are closely linked
