SANY's innovative equipment has aided the construction of the Shiziyang Bridge, a key GBA project in China. Four SANY pump trucks successfully poured the last layer of the bridge's east tower's bearing platform, contributing to the world's largest double-deck suspension bridge. The bridge's construction, featuring a 2,180-meter-long span and five world records, posed significant challenges due to its size and high-strength concrete. SANY's technology enhances construction efficiency and aids in the bridge's significant structural development.

In the heart of China's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau (GBA) region, the Shiziyang Bridge, a key GBA project, is nearing completion. This double-deck suspension bridge, with a record-breaking 2,180-meter-long span, has posed significant challenges due to its size and the use of high-strength concrete [1]. Four SANY pump trucks successfully poured the last layer of the bridge's east tower's bearing platform, contributing significantly to its construction [2].

SANY's equipment is renowned for its ability to create vertical concrete pumping records in the construction of skyscrapers in China and globally [1]. Their unrivaled technical strength in trailer-mounted concrete pumps has been utilized in 80% of high-rise buildings over 300 meters high, 70% above 400 meters, and all buildings above 500 meters in China [1]. SANY pumps have been involved in the construction of some of the world's tallest buildings, such as the UAE Burj Khalifa, Russia's Federal Tower, and Japan's Abeno Harukas [1].

SANY's technology enhances construction efficiency and aids in structural development. Their equipment is known for its stable and reliable performance, long service life, and wear-resistance components [1]. In the Shiziyang Bridge project, SANY pump trucks poured 61,000 cubic meters of concrete baseplate within 60 hours with zero failure [2]. The company also created a new record of 580-meter vertical pumping height in capping the Shanghai Tower core tube [1].

The Shiziyang Bridge's construction, with its world records and impressive size, posed significant challenges due to the use of high-strength concrete [1]. SANY's innovative technology and high-quality products have not only helped to overcome these challenges but have also contributed to the bridge's significant structural development.
