"Participant in the survey of the 489m super high-rise project," "key researcher of intelligent drainage and pressure-relief technology," "technology transformation project contracts amounting to over 30 million yuan" are his standout labels. He is an innovative and enterprising "geotechnical deep cultivator," a persistent "explorer of intelligent drainage and pressure relief." He has overcome technical challenges in super high-rise project design and basement drainage and pressure relief, writing a story of struggle with a meticulous attitude.

      In 2018, CSCEC Western Survey and Design Institute undertook the China Overseas Chengdu Tianfu New Area 489m super high-rise project. The project has enormous bottom pressure, reaching a maximum of 2050kPa, and a huge demand for foundation bearing capacity. Located in the Chengdu Plain, the underground is characterized by unique red-bed mudstone geology, with significant heterogeneity, easy softening and disintegration, and a sharp drop in strength upon contact with water.The use of moderately weathered mudstone as the natural foundation bearing stratum for a super high-rise is unprecedented in the engineering field. The project required key technical research on the adaptability of natural foundations for super high-rise buildings and special research on the geotechnical engineering properties of red-bed mudstone.

     From the formulation of the test plan to on-site testing, Luo Yibin did not overlook any detail. During nearly a year of testing, he went deep into test wells more than 30 meters below the surface, carefully inspecting instruments and equipment and meticulously recording every parameter.In 2020, the team, relying on years of experience and exploration, overcame the challenges of the bearing mechanism and failure modes of moderately weathered red-bed mudstone, achieving a key breakthrough in the bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of red-bed soft rock. The bearing capacity of moderately weathered red-bed mudstone was significantly improved, providing a reliable basis for the design of the super high-rise project and gaining high recognition from the owner.

      In addition to his R&D work, Luo Yibin actively devotes himself to technology promotion. Facing low market awareness and difficulties in advancing innovative technologies such as intelligent drainage and pressure relief, he proactively communicates with owners and clients, using videos, cartoons, and illustrated texts to demonstrate the principles, advantages, and application cases of the intelligent drainage and pressure-relief device. Based on customer feedback and project-specific characteristics, he continuously optimizes technical solutions to improve practicality and adaptability.

      Currently, the seeds of new technology are thriving in the market soil, blooming and bearing fruit. The intelligent drainage and pressure-relief system has been applied in nearly 100 new construction anti-floating projects and anti-floating reinforcement projects across 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities nationwide,leading to new contract signings exceeding 300 million yuan for the enterprise, and the technology transformation projects of the Innovation Business Center of the Geotechnical Engineering Research Institute that he leads have contracts amounting to over 30 million yuan. The intelligent drainage and pressure-relief active anti-floating technology has achieved good economic and social benefits.

      "Scientific and technological research and development are the primary productive forces" and "let technology serve engineering" are Luo Yibin's persistent work philosophies. In the practice of the "big geotechnical" full industry chain, he focuses on shaping his composite abilities in "exploration-design-construction-R&D-transformation," enabling him to handle multiple geotechnical projects with ease and calmly improve project efficiency. 

      In the past five years, Luo Yibin has participated in 8 provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects, obtained approval for 3 construction methods, and been granted more than 20 patents. At the same time, he actively participates in the formulation of industry standards, contributing to the compilation of "Sichuan Province Standard for Geotechnical Engineering Investigation of Buildings and Municipal Engineering," "Technical Standard for Hydrogeological Investigation of Anti-Floating Engineering," and the international ISO standard "Standard practice for response sensitivity analysis of groundwater monitoring wells using water injection test method." In addition, he has published more than 10 papers in the past five years, including 1 EI and 3 SCI papers.
