the jakarta-bandung high-speed rail is china’s “first overseas high-speed rail project”.
the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway connects jakarta and bandung in indonesia and is the first high-speed railway in southeast asia. this high-speed railway uses chinese design, chinese construction, chinese equipment, and chinese standards, making china's high-speed railway truly "going global" for the first time.
how does china's high-speed rail technology "germinate" and "bear fruit" overseas? in this interview series of "chief engineer of a great power", we have an exclusive interview with zhao dou, the chief design director of jakarta-bandung high-speed railway, and tell you the story behind his "opening" of china's high-speed railway overseas.
tailor-made
let chinese technology and standards land in indonesia
the jakarta-bandung high-speed rail project started in 2015
open to traffic by 2023
it took 8 years
looking back on the road traveled with the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway
zhao dou described it as "difficult to walk"
in particular, let chinese technology and chinese standards come to indonesia
is the biggest challenge they need to face
the most difficult construction along the entire line is tunnel no. 2
although not long
but the geological conditions are very complex
"after being dug out, once the mudstone here comes into contact with the air
rock and soil will absorb water and expand, and they will break into pieces if you squeeze it with your hands.”
landslides may easily occur during tunnel excavation
in addition, there is a railway on the ground
there are more buildings
the construction of this entire section of the project is proceeding at a difficult pace.
facing the difficulties of underground tunnel construction
zhao dou proposed the idea of building "pada lalang station"
let the high-speed rail merge with the existing train station
zhao dou's memories
they quickly made dozens of versions of the plan
go communicate with the indonesian side to build this station.
"this station was built at the same time as the high-speed rail line, and the effect is very good."
in addition to allowing local people to conveniently transfer
zhao dou said, “it has now become a place for internet celebrities to check in.”
the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway is not just a railway
it also weaves the beautiful local life
in september 2023, the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway will be completed and opened to traffic.
a buzzword "whoosh" has become popular in indonesia ever since
"this term was proposed by indonesian president joko joko after he took the high-speed train."
zhao dou introduced that the original meaning of whoosh is
the high-speed railway rushes past, the sound of roaring
in indonesian it is
the abbreviation of "time-saving", "efficient" and "advanced"
in zhao dou’s opinion, whoosh is used to describe the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway
it's a very good evaluation
zhao dou believes that “the opening of the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway will
let indonesian people’s intercity travel enter a new era. "
after the opening of the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway
travel time from jakarta to bandung reduced to 40 minutes
at the same time
this high-speed rail has spurred development along the line
and the upgrading of the tourism industry
promote employment for more than 80,000 local people
“the opening of the jakarta-bandung high-speed railway has shown the world a
a successful case of china’s high-speed rail technology going global. "
zhao dou said emotionally
"i believe that more and more countries will
choose china’s high-speed rail technology,
build the country’s high-speed railway. "
greatest wish
share china’s high-speed rail technology with the worldboundary
from station trainee to professional designer to chief engineer
along the way, zhao dou felt that he was very lucky
"catching up with the good times and encountering the rapid development of railways"
as a railroad builder
he hopes that future railway services will be better and of higher quality
“taking a high-speed rail in the future will not feel like taking a public transport”
this is the goal that zhao dou will pursue in the future.
china's high-speed rail speed has reached 350 kilometers per hour
now, zhao dou is still leading the team
do research on further speeding up
zhao dou thinks
“increasing speed is a good experience for passengers”
it is also one of the directions that the railway department has been exploring.
over the past 30 years,
zhao dou has presided over hundreds of railway projects
witness the process of china's railways from exploring to catching up to running alongside and leading the way
however, zhao dou now has another wish
he hopes to share china’s high-speed rail technology with the world
let people from all countries share the happiness and gain brought by china's high-speed rail
zhao dou said, “i would like to realize that people can move freely and things can flow smoothly.
contribute your own strength. "
