On January 15, less than half a month before the Chinese New Year, the large conference room of the Chutan Railway Bureau was crowded, and everyone who came was a celebrity in the railway industry.

Among the participants in this group, in addition to the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute, there are also the First, Second, and Fourth Railway Survey and Design Institutes, as well as the Railway Military Science and Technology Research Institute.

In addition, of course, there is also the Chutan Railway Bureau Design Branch, which has just been established. Among these six design institutes, Tie 1, Tie 3, Tie 4 and the Railway Soldier Science and Technology Research Institute, founded in 1953, and Tie 2 was established in 1952, both of which are the trump cards of the National Railway Design Institute.

In comparison, the design branch of the Chutan Railway Bureau has just been established, which is inconspicuous.

Fortunately, in the Design Branch of Chutan Railway Bureau, there are also well-known figures, such as Qiao Tianhong and Chu Jianghe!

Don't look at Chu Jianghe is not an industry insider, but his patents for new sleepers and elastic fasteners make these orthodox railway design institutes very admirable, after all, these are experts, who have struggled for the railway industry all their lives, and respect everyone who works hard for the development of the railway industry, even if Chu Jianghe is not a person inside the railway.

As for Qiao Tianhong's name, it is not only very well-known in the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute, but also in the domestic railway design industry.

After retirement, the other party was able to join the design branch of the Chutan Railway Bureau, which made many people feel very puzzled.

Chu Jianghe sat beside Qiao Tianhong, and the two of them participated in this meeting on behalf of the Design Branch of Chutan Railway Bureau.

Looking at the door of the cigarette gun in the conference room, he couldn't help but sigh, among these people, many of them knew each other in their previous lives, not only did they know each other, Chu Jianghe was also very familiar with them, and even saw a few people who were about the same age as themselves, and they used to be their own at the same time.

At about 9:20 in the morning, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and I saw Zhao Zongrong, director of the Chutan Railway Bureau, Li Tao, deputy director of the Chutan Railway Bureau, Liu Feng, deputy director of the Political Department, and others walking quickly into the conference room.

"Zhao Ju is good. ”

The experts who knew Zhao Zongrong greeted Zhao Zongrong and others one after another.

Zhao Zongrong nodded and sat opposite everyone.

After Liu Feng sat down, he glanced at Chu Jianghe's side and nodded slightly, and Chu Jianghe also nodded in response.

Li Tao bowed his head and said a word to Zhao Zongrong, and seeing Zhao Zongrong nodding, Li Tao began to speak.

"Leaders of the design institute, comrades, good morning, I urgently summoned everyone this time, I think everyone knows what is going on. Li Tao spoke, everyone quieted down, and the conference room was filled with smoke.

After Li Tao finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Some time ago, our Chutan Railway Bureau broke the maximum speed of domestic trains of 160km/h on a railway that had been renovated from an existing line, which is undoubtedly a major milestone in the history of railways!"

Over the years, the railway has not made much progress in terms of speed, and it can be said that every time it breaks the historical record, it is a milestone.

What's more, it's still 160km/h, and in the eyes of everyone, this speed is not slow.

"However, we must not be complacent, rail transport is the foundation of the country, it is the important weapon of the country, the speed of 160km/h is broken, we have to move on to the next goal, this is the main reason why we are gathered here today. After Li Tao finished speaking, he continued: "According to the instructions of the Ministry of Railways, considering that the Chutan Railway Bureau has rich experience in increasing the speed of railway trains, it is planned to build a railway with an average speed of 160km/h between Shenzhen and Chutan City. For this railway, the Ministry of Railways delegated the ownership to the Chutan Railway Bureau, that is, the design, construction and operation of this railway are all decided by the Chutan Railway Bureau. ”

In 87 years, only a very small number of railway constructions were under the jurisdiction of the local railway bureaus, and most of the railway planning and construction were decided by the Ministry of Railways.

And the railways under the jurisdiction of those places are basically freight lines, such as the railways built by some coal mines.

For the country's first railway with an average speed of 160km/h, the Ministry of Railways delegated the power to the railway bureau, which is extremely rare, and it can be said that there is no precedent before.

"In order to survey, design and construct this railway, and live up to the expectations of the leaders of the state and the Ministry of Railways, after discussion with the Party Committee of Chutan Railway Bureau, it was decided to open bidding in railway design institutes nationwide. Li Tao continued.

Since 1952 and 53, the state has established five major railway design institutes, all of which have a scope of responsibility.

Once a railway is to be built within the scope of the responsibility of these design institutes, the Ministry of Railways will directly assign the project to the major design institutes that respond.

Of course, there are times when there are special circumstances.

Most of the railway designs in Chutan and Shenzhen are designed by the Iron Fourth Courtyard, and occasionally the Iron Third Courtyard will be mixed up, mainly because the Iron Third Courtyard is too famous.

The Third Iron Institute is not only involved in the scope of the Fourth Iron Institute, but also the scope of several other design institutes.

However, it is difficult for the other three design institutes, such as the First Railway Institute, to be involved in the railway engineering design of the Chutan Railway Bureau.

In order to design the first 160km/h railway from Chutan to Shenzhen, the Chutan Railway Bureau can be said to have made an exception and brought these five design institutes together!

If several design institutes such as the First Railway Institute can win the design rights of this railway, it is likely to open up the railway design market in Chutan, and these railway design institutes have to pay attention to it!

Of course, the Iron Fourth Courtyard will not give up, once this railway is lost, this is not only a matter of losing a railway, but also a matter of face and market problems of the Iron Fourth Courtyard.

The most important thing is that the major design institutes will strive for the reason because this railway is the first railway with an average speed of 160km/h in China, once the design is adopted by the Chutan Railway Bureau, the railway design institute at this speed in the future, the Ministry of Railways, is likely to think of this design institute first, and assign the design project to this design institute.

In this way, it is likely that there will be a situation where design institutes will compete for the market.

Thinking of this, the leaders and experts of the major railway design institutes suddenly felt pressure!

"Because this railway is a test section, the Ministry of Railways hopes to start construction as soon as possible, requiring us to bid within three months, that is to say, you still have three months to design this railway, for the design of the reference data, the experts of the design institute, you can refer to the existing Shenzhen to Chutan railway, with the geological conditions of the railway for reference design, as for the direction of the new railway, our bureau does not give advice, and finally depends on the plan you come up with, as long as the plan is reasonable enough, our bureau will take which set of plans. Li Tao continued.

At the time of three months, if you really go to the site to investigate, it is difficult to complete, after all, there are more than 100 kilometers from Shenzhen to Chutan City, and it is difficult to survey and design this railway in a short time.

When Li Tao has already said that you can refer to the built railway, according to the geological conditions of the built railway, to design the railway, so that with a certain reference, it is simple.

And Li Tao's words are also obvious, that is, the new railway, it is best not too far away from the existing railway, if the distance is too far, the geology, there must be a big difference, so that the designed line is unreasonable and unconvincing.

But even if the existing railway is used as a reference, it only takes three months to design a railway, and the time is quite urgent!
