Luoning Pumped Storage Power Project
Challenging unprecedented 39°upward tunnelling
This project take the lead in optimizing the upper inclined shaft for water diversion, the middle adit and the lower inclined shaft into a first-level inclined shaft plan, thus creating a new model for the construction of shafts in pumped storage power stations in China.
Project Background
The breakthrough of the inclined shaft for the water diversion of the pumped storage power station has refreshed a new record for the mechanized construction in the field of pumped storage power station construction in China, and witnessed the birth of a new model for the fully mechanized cross-section excavation of inclined shafts in China.
