Solving Transport Challenges for Super-Large UHPC Sculptural Components: Modular Design and Full-Process Control

Transportation is not simply about moving goods—it is the continuation of quality for super-large UHPC shapes. As projects such as the 12㎡ super-large UHPC component at Century Square on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai and the 3-meter-plus sculptures at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum have been completed, the transportation challenges of super-large UHPC shapes have become increasingly prominent. Relying on nationwide production bases and extensive cross-border transportation experience, Qinglong Group has developed mature transportation solutions.

#Modular Split Design: Reducing Transportation Difficulty Based on vehicle load capacity and road restrictions, Qinglong uses BIM technology to split super-large UHPC shapes into modules. The weight of each individual component after splitting is kept within a reasonable range, while precisely aligned connection structures are reserved to ensure overall integrity after on-site assembly. In the Shanghai Century Square renovation project, the super-large wood-grain light-transmitting panels were split into 3-4 modules, which not only reduced the risk of damage during transportation but also improved transportation efficiency, with on-site assembly tolerances controlled within ±2mm.

#Customized Packaging Protection: Building a Strong Safety Line for Transportation Tailored packaging solutions are designed according to the characteristics of UHPC components. A "hard protection + soft cushioning" combined approach is adopted: steel structural frames are used externally for securing, while pearl cotton and bubble wrap fill the interior to prevent collisions and vibrations during transportation. For irregular components such as double-curved surfaces, custom mold-style packaging is made to ensure the component shape does not deform. In the Ouargla Hotel project in Algeria, 50mm thick UHPC lattice panels achieved a 100% intact rate after cross-border transportation using this packaging solution.

#Full-Process Transportation Control: Ensuring Precise Delivery Qinglong has established a professional transportation team that plans transportation routes in advance to avoid bridges with weight limits and tunnels with height restrictions. During transportation, GPS real-time monitoring is employed to control driving speed and bumpiness throughout the journey. On-site, professional hoisting equipment and installation teams are provided to achieve seamless integration of "transportation-hoisting-assembly." In the Yangshengtang Pharmaceutical Hangzhou Industrial Park project, the super-large UHPC exterior wall panels, under this full-process control, were delivered and installed efficiently and precisely from the Guangxi production base to the Hangzhou construction site.

The transportation of super-large UHPC shapes is a comprehensive test of a manufacturer's design capabilities, packaging technology, and project management capabilities. With production bases across the country and a well-established transportation service system, Qinglong ensures that the cross-regional transportation of super-large UHPC shapes no longer becomes an obstacle to projects.
