In the heat of August, waves of heat sweep across. At the construction site of the Jinggangshan Bridge reconstruction project, the bridge piers are rising steadily, climbing higher and higher.

Up to now, the bridge has completed pile foundation construction for all main-line bridges. A total of 33 pile caps for the main-line bridge have been completed, reaching 75 percent. A total of 23 pier shafts (abutments) have been completed, reaching 52 percent. The main-line bridge has 5 spans of box girders in total, of which 25 percent has been completed. Piers 8# and 9# of the bridge#The left-side cantilever-cast box girder of the main pier has started constructionand the road widening and reconstruction construction on both banks is also being advanced in an orderly manner.

The sustained high temperatures have brought severe "roasting" challenges to outdoor construction. At the site of the Jinggangshan Bridge reconstruction project, nearly 400 builders brave the scorching sun and stay at their posts. Through scientific scheduling, staggered working hours and all-round logistical support, the project headquarters is making every effort to ensure the steady progress of bridge construction while guaranteeing project quality and personnel safety.

Liu Yongbo, a worker at the Jinggangshan Bridge project of CCCC Second Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd., said that in order to protect the health of frontline employees and ensure the orderly progress of bridge construction, the project headquarters has arranged scientific scheduling, assigning workers to work during cooler periods and avoiding the hottest hours. At the same time, the project department has promptly conducted physical examinations for workers and distributed heatstroke prevention and cooling medicines, achieving simultaneous progress in safe production, efficient construction and considerate construction.
