Zhongwei South Station Yellow River Bridge Project, Zhongwei, China

The Zhongwei South Station Yellow River Bridge is a strategic infrastructure project extending 1.409 kilometers across the Yellow River, designed to function both as a four-lane highway and a primary urban thoroughfare. Featuring a unique steel arch design with a main span of 270 meters and a width of 41 meters, the bridge is part of an extensive investment in the region’s transportation network, enhancing connectivity and economic development along the Yellow River.

In 2022, IEC played a pivotal role in the bridge’s construction by supplying a 100MN high-capacity friction pendulum bearing system. These bearings are crucial for ensuring the bridge’s seismic safety, designed to meet the specific structural and anti-seismic requirements of the project. The deployment of IEC’s friction pendulum systems highlights the company's expertise in delivering custom-engineered solutions that bolster the structural integrity of large-scale infrastructure projects, making significant contributions to regional development and safety.
