Wuhan Sanyang Road Yangtze River Tunnel
World’s First Public-Rail Integrated Construction Model: This is the world’s first completed shield-tunnel crossing a river that integrates both road and rail transportation. It features a dual-tube, three-layer structure: the upper layer serves as a highway smoke-exhaust duct; the middle layer accommodates a six-lane双向 highway; and the lower layer houses the tracks of Metro Line 7, a shared evacuation passage for both road and rail users, and utility tunnels—all designed to achieve intensive resource utilization. The construction faced enormous geological challenges: it was necessary to overcome the dual geological hurdles of the “diamond layer” and the “rice cake dough” formation. The rock strata contain up to 70% quartz, making them exceptionally hard—resulting in over 2,000 cutter changes during construction. At the same time, highly cohesive mudstone-siltstone formations posed significant risks of cutter clogging and mud cake buildup. To address these issues, the construction team employed innovative methods such as injecting hydrogen peroxide. The project has reaped numerous awards and technological achievements: it has won multiple prestigious honors, including the National High-Quality Engineering Award and the FIIDC Outstanding Engineering Award. Its research outcomes were recognized with the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. During construction, the team developed several technical procedures, including the "Normal-Pressure Cutter-Change Operating Procedures," and the newly devised "First Reverse, Then Forward, Finally Expansion" reverse construction method, which significantly reduced construction costs.
The Yongqing-Shanghai Section of the China-Russia East Pipeline Project – Yangtze River Tunneling Crossing工程
This project is the first-ever engineering undertaking in the national pipeline network construction. It features a single-heading tunneling operation using a shield machine over a distance of 10.26 kilometers, with 7,500 meters of underwater tunneling and a maximum ice pressure of 0.73 megapascals. Currently, it represents the longest tunneling distance, deepest burial depth, and highest water pressure among all existing oil and gas pipeline projects that utilize shield tunneling technology to cross rivers worldwide.

Global Finance | China-made tunnel boring machines set a new daily excavation record of 61.73 meters in Lesotho.
Xinhua Finance, Johannesburg, October 14 — According to reports from Maseru, recently, at the second phase of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project—the Polihali water conveyance tunnel project—the “Dayu Changfeng,” a tunnel boring machine independently developed by CCCC Tianhe, achieved a daily excavation rate of 61.73 meters, setting a new record for daily excavation performance among 5-meter-class dual-shield TBMs.

China Railway Equipment has developed the ultra-large-diameter tunnel boring machine “Barangaru.”
On July 30, as the cutterhead began to rotate slowly, the ultra-large-diameter tunnel boring machine “Balangaru,” developed by China Railway Equipment, was successfully rolled off the production line at the Zhengzhou National TBM Industrialization Center. This machine is a “sister” to the “Patigaran,” which rolled off the production line in April of this year, and together they will serve the Western Harbour Project in Sydney, Australia. Leaders including Zhuo Xingjian, General Manager of China Railway Equipment, and Jia Yaowei, Deputy General Manager, along with representatives from the contractor of the Western Harbour Project in Sydney, Australia, attended the roll-off ceremony.
