FUSHUN, April 15 --Construction teams digging the world's longest water diversion tunnel completed their work Wednesday in northeast China's Liaoning Province, breaking a record held by Japan.
The 85.3 kilometer long tunnel has a diameter of eight meters. It starts in Hengren County in east Liaoning and ends in Xinbin County in the west part of the province.
The tunnel runs across 50 hills, 50 rivers and 29 fault lines on its path, according to Zou Guangqi, technical chief for construction of the tunnel.
Construction began in September 2006. Zhou said it will take several more months for workers to seal the interior of the tunnel with concrete before it is put into service at the end of this year.
Shi Huiyun, chief of the Liaoning Provincial Water Resources Bureau, said the tunnel will bring water from the Dahuofang Reservoir to more than 10 million people in seven industrial cities -- Shenyang, Fushun, Liaoyang, Anshan, Panjin, Yingkou and Dalian.
The dregs produced in digging the tunnel were used for building roads and river embankment, to ensure minimum impact on the environment, said Zou.
The entire projects cost 10.3 billion yuan , of which, 5.2 billion yuan was set aside for tunnel construction, he said.
The previous world record holder was Japan's Seikan tunnel, which is 53.86 km long.
中国建成世界上最长的引水隧道
4月15日抚顺报道: 世界上最长的引水隧道经过施工队的挖掘,于本周三竣工。该隧道位于中国东北辽宁省,其长度打破了由日本所保持的记录。
这条隧道全长85.3公里,直径为8米,它东起于辽宁省东部恒仁县,西至该省西部新滨县。
据此项隧道的主要技术负责人邹广祈介绍, 该隧道全程跨越了50痤山脉,50条河流和29个断层带。
邹同时介绍说, 此项工程于2006年9月开始施工,在今年年底投入使用前,工人们还将花几个月时间来用混凝土封闭隧道的内部。
辽宁省水利资源局史辉云说道, 这个隧道将从大伙房水库为七个工业城市超过1000万人民带来水源, 工业城市包括沈阳、抚顺、辽阳、鞍山、盘锦、营口和大连。
邹还说,在挖掘隧道中所产生的土渣已用于修建道路和堤坝,以确保最低限度对环境的影响。
他说,整个项目耗费将近人民币103亿元(折合美元15.2亿元),其中52亿元用于隧道建筑工程。
先前的世界记录保持者是日本青函隧道,长度为53.86公里。
