CRCC recently received exciting news from the International Bridge Conference (IBC): two of its designed bridges have been honored with prestigious awards. The Hongqili Grand Bridge on the Nansha Port Railway won the Theodore Cooper Award, while the  Huangmaohai Sea-Crossing Passage received the George S. Richardson Medal. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as CRCC claimed one-third of the six bridge awards presented globally in 2025.

The Hongqili Grand Bridge serves as a critical component of the Nansha Port Railway infrastructure. This groundbreaking structure features an innovative design with twin 360-meter main spans using steel truss flexible arch construction—making it the world's longest bridge of its type. The design ingeniously addresses the challenges posed by intersecting shipping lanes and the river's distinctive "W"-shaped bed formation, successfully balancing exceptional spanning capabilities with robust load-bearing performance. The engineering team's lightweight ballastless deck design represents a significant breakthrough, reducing structural weight by 55% and cutting construction costs by over $13 million. To ensure safety in typhoon-prone areas, engineers developed cutting-edge techniques for simultaneous cantilever assembly and large-segment lifting, which not only shortened construction time but also enabled millimeter-precise track installation for optimal train operation.

The Huangmaohai Sea-Crossing Passage spans approximately 14 kilometers of ocean, linking Jinwan District in Zhuhai City with Taishan in Jiangmen City. The project's centerpiece consists of two three-tower cable-stayed bridges, each featuring 720-meter main spans. The elegant "hyperboloid single-column tower with split steel box girder" design perfectly balances structural integrity with aesthetic appeal. The towers' distinctive "slender waist" silhouette has become an architectural landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. This project broke new ground in multiple areas, including multi-tower cable-stayed bridge systems, wind resistance technology, prefabricated construction methods, precise girder alignment, smart construction techniques, and environmentally sustainable building practices, setting new industry standards.
