3rd Ring Expressway, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China

The 3rd Ring Expressway in Chengdu stands as a testament to China's rapid urban expansion and infrastructural evolution. As a critical artery encircling the bustling metropolis of Chengdu, this expressway significantly enhances vehicular movement and congestion management in one of China's fastest-growing cities. The project, which took place between 2016 and 2017, involved the deployment of thousands of Cable Restrained Bearings from IEC, valued at US$ 452 million, showcasing the massive scale and strategic importance of the endeavor.

IEC’s contribution to the 3rd Ring Expressway project involved supplying high-performance Cable Restrained Bearings designed to stabilize the expressway structures, particularly in seismic zones. These bearings ensure that the roadway remains operational and safe under various traffic and environmental stresses, embodying IEC’s commitment to quality and resilience in critical infrastructure projects.
