There will be an extensive network around Yinchuan!

Implementation of this railway is really quick!

Thanks for reminding us the earlier info that you'd posted two years ago , which I am not aware.

It seems China's western and central regions are going to get a big development push from the earlier CHINA'S WESTERN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, and now further amplified with the great development initiative of the ONE BELT, ONE ROAD. Can I simply say that it's some kind of revival of the ancient land Silk Road plus many enhancements of the modern times ASIA <--> EURASIA <--> EUROPE AS THE CORE

I have not even gotten my opportunity to visit any of the ancient Silk Road region, which I aspire to do at some right time

Definitely. From what I gather from @AndrewJin and others' posts that HSR is part and parcel of China's Western regions development strategy and B&R is the international arm of it, as you wisely put, with Western Europe connection via Central Asia and Russia in mind.

The size and scale of the plan is mind boggling. It is definitely a new form of globalization and HSR is an essential component of it.

It takes only 5 years to develop Nanning's HSR network, something you will never dream of one decade ago.
Guizhou-Nanning HSR is under construction.
Can't wait to see Southwest China's two poorest province get connected closer.

@AndrewJin - By "Southwest China's two poorest province", did you mean Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou provinces... saving Yunnan from the bottom two?

Maybe they're the poorest yet they have HSR, much better than many other parts of the world, which are still relying on packed buses & trains (for metro use) and buses & old trains (with low speed and lot of uncomfortable shaking for intercity & long distances) as the public transportation.... just imagine something like 800 km within 10 hours plus terrible shaking... wonder if most of you have been experiencing the old service like this? ha ha ha

Can anyone tell me about who makes this awesome machine and any more info you have on it:

I am looking to make a presentation on specialised engg application, thanks!

SLG900/32 Bridge Erection Crane is designed and manufactured by a subsidary of China Railway 11th Bureau Group Co Ltd, Hanjiang Heavy Industries Technolegy Branch.

Here is their website：http://www.cr11g6gs.com/hjzk/cpzx/

By the way, you can order your very own on Alibaba: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SLG900-32T-bridge-erection-crane_60361300681.html

This 11th bureau is headquartered in Wuhan
Just checked
I thought we just had construction giant like Major Bridge Bureau.

But you know 11th bureau is a huge group, the subsidiary manufacturing this crane is not in Wuhan.
I think every bureau (now called company) has their unique design of cranes and other big machineries.
Quite often I am confused about these companies, Nth bureau of CRCC/CREC/CSCE/****.

It is called 汉江重工，so it should have something to do with Wuhan?

Nope. Companies with such name are usually in cities located upstream along Han River.
This one is in Xiangyang City, northern Hubei Province.

Thanks brother, very much appreciated. Chinese investment and development into heavy capital is very impressive.

What's your major?

I majored in aerospace engineering, working on jet engine development right now.

This is a presentation for some VC investors that I know who are looking to get into funding various engineering...the margins on specialised applications are not so heavily saturated like some others.

You are welcome, my friend! What will be the subject of your presentation?

 

[Nilgiri]

You are welcome, my friend! What will be the subject of your presentation?

Its a broad based one on what the ROI today is in across the heavy capital-based engineering sector (regarding different time scales, region and associated risk). Its 90% text, graph based (I prefer 50% at most, but its pretty much impossible this time)....need a couple videos and such in there to liven things up, besides China is where most of the "on-ground" part of this is taking place anyway (so the scaleable data is most appropriate)....so I have to be ready for some questions (these folk always impressed when you know the name).

If I can get them to invest into a new project my company (PW) is promoting in jet-engine RnD (hence the more overall specialised engg application subject)....we have a good chance to compete with GE long term (who already benefiting from doing something similar about 5 years back and are near titan status in the industry now). Actually it will be a win for China too, because PW looking to scale up there at Chengdu and its other facilities in the coming years and get a better supply stream to Chinese market (can no longer rely on assured Chinese final import long term).

I wish China could use PW's engines for their military planes. Years ago when PW was informed that China was using PT6C-67 for their Z-10 prototype, it stopped shipping the engine, which delayed Chinese Z-10 project for years.
