When it comes to sea reclamation, China has always been at the forefront of this field. After completing many domestic projects, the Chinese building team has also begun to go out to the world to help other countries complete related infrastructure projects. Among them, the Maldives, which is located in the southwest of the Indian Peninsula, has asked China for help. A total of 3 billion yuan was invested in this project, which started in July 2016. Just 26 months later, the airport island has changed dramatically. After the expansion, the airport can take off and land the world's largest passenger aircraft, the A380. And its area has also increased from the initial 60,000 square meters to 250,000 square meters, a full expansion of more than 4 times. In this project, the reclamation project is even more eye-catching, and it was completed in just 10 months.
The total area of its reclamation is as high as 750,000 square meters, 5.8 trillion tons of seawater are removed, and 5.4 million cubic meters of earth and stone are consumed. On September 18, 2018, the Airbus A380 flew into the air, marking the successful test flight of the new runway at Velana International Airport in Maldives and the success of the project undertaken by China. In this project, China has applied four cutting-edge new technologies, which have played a huge role in the airport project, not only improving the quality of the project, but also saving costs and shortening the construction period. In today's video, we'll take an in-depth look at these four technologies and take a look at what other world-class problems Chinese engineers have solved in this project. OK, let’s take a look.
