The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link is another major super project undertaken by COSCO Kansai in Guangdong, after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. This cross-sea passage connecting Shenzhen, Zhongshan, and Guangzhou, spanning about 24 kilometers, is a world-class "bridge, island, tunnel, underwater interchange" cluster project. The tunnel section is about 6.8 kilometers long, and the average weight of the individual immersed tunnel steel shells is about 10,000 tons, equivalent to a section of a 50,000-ton crude oil tanker. Whether it is steel structure fabrication, anti-corrosion coatings, or component launching and transportation, it undoubtedly represents the world-class highest level of such projects.

As a leader in the anti-corrosion coating industry, COSCO Kansai has gained widespread application and a good reputation in the field of anti-corrosion coatings over the years, thanks to its superior corrosion resistance and weathering resistance products. In the field of large-scale steel structure bridges in China, COSCO Kansai 's performance has been particularly outstanding, having provided corrosion protection for major cross-river and cross-sea bridges such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the Humen Second Bridge, and the Xiamen-Zhangzhou Subsea Tunnel.

This time, COSCO Kansai is once again honored to become the anti-corrosion coating supplier for the steel shell of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Tunnel immersed tube. This is not only another great project that COSCO Kansai has participated in after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, but it also further consolidates its leading position in the field of bridge anti-corrosion. In the future, COSCO Kansai will continue to invest more effort around the national development construction, making greater contributions to this important strategic initiative.

中遠関西が深中通道の海底トンネルのパイプラインに防食材料を供給

深中通道は、港珠澳大橋に続いて中遠関西が広東地域で手掛けた次なる重要な超大型プロジェクトです。この深圳市と中山市、そして広州市を結ぶ海峡横断通路は総延長約24kmに及び、世界有数の「橋、島、トンネル、海底接続」の集合体です。その中のトンネル部分は約6.8kmの長さがあり、使用される単体の沈埋式トンネル鋼殻の平均重量は1万トンにもなり、それは5万トン級の原油タンカーの船体重量に匹敵します。鋼構造の製作、防食塗装、そして構造物の海底への敷設など、まさに世界最高水準の技術力が要求される工事です。

中遠関西は防食塗料業界の最高峰企業として、優れた耐食性と耐候性を持つ製品の供給で、長年にわたり高い評価を得ています。国内の超大型鋼構造橋梁分野では特に顕著な実績を上げており、港珠澳大橋、第二虎門大橋、厦漳跨海大橋など、多くの大規模な海峡横断橋梁の防食保護を担ってきました。

今回、中遠関西が深中通道の沈埋式トンネル鋼殻の防食塗料供給企業に再び選ばれたことは、港珠澳大橋に続く偉大なプロジェクトへの参加であり、橋梁防食分野での同社の優位性をさらに強化するものです。今後、中遠関西は国家の発展と建設にさらに多くの力を注ぎ、この重要な戦略的イニシアチブに大きな貢献をし続けるであろう。
