On-site Traffic Project of Anhui Huoshan Pumped Storage Power Station Successfully Enters Tunnel
📍 Anhui, China
The Anhui Huoshan Pumped Storage Power Station, a subsidiary project of China Energy Investment Corporation, is a key initiative supporting China’s dual carbon goals. As one of Anhui Province’s major energy construction projects during the “14th Five-Year Plan,” it carries the mission of advancing the pumped storage sector while revitalizing the Dabie Mountain region.
With a total installed capacity of 1,200 MW, the project will provide critical services such as peak shaving, off-peak energy storage, frequency regulation, and emergency standby for the Anhui power grid.
Infrastructure Progress: Breaking Ground
On April 15, Tunnels No.1 and No.3 of the on-site traffic project successfully broke ground. This network serves as a vital hub connecting the upper and lower reservoirs and various underground caverns.
- ▸
Tunnel No.1: Third-level road tunnel, total length 757 m, maximum depth 139 m.
- ▸
Tunnel No.3: Total length 1,240 m, maximum depth 256 m.
Advanced Construction Management
Facing a complex construction environment, the team adopted a Project Management Contracting (PMC) model to improve efficiency. Professional engineers conducted detailed surveys of geological formations and surface conditions, utilizing long-range geological forecasting strictly in accordance with design specifications.
Safety Management remains a top priority. A comprehensive safety management system has been established, featuring advanced monitoring equipment that provides real-time data on rock deformation and gas concentration inside the tunnels.
Future Outlook
Upon completion, the Huoshan Pumped Storage Power Station will significantly enhance the East China Power Grid‘s stability. Beyond technical contributions, the project is set to stimulate growth in construction engineering, transportation, and eco-tourism.
Moving forward, the project team will uphold the principles of innovation and precision, pursuing excellence in construction safety and quality.
