Inter-city Rail Transit Project of Jinhua - Yiwu - Dongyang Region

The project connects three cities, five urban clusters, and 38 villages, forming a robust economic interaction chain that includes "Jinhua New Energy," "Yiwu Small Commodity," and "Dongyang Wood Carving." It also establishes a vibrant cultural and tourism ecosystem centred on "Jinhua Wuzhou Opera," "Yiwu Business & Trade Spirit," and "Dongyang Hengdian Screen Culture." This initiative serves as a cornerstone for fostering regional resource sharing, industrial co-development, and cultural integration, significantly advancing sustainable economic, social, and cultural growth.

Green construction practices were prioritised, enhancing quality and reducing on-site construction time. For the first time, prefabricated concrete technology was systematically applied in inter-city rail transit stations, resulting in the installation of 9,569 cubic metres of standard components and saving 6,530 tons of steel. This innovation serves as an industry benchmark and underscores the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

A focus on energy conservation, efficient land use, and co-construction principles was integral to the project. Various space optimisation strategies were employed, including track-national railway integration, track-highway tunnels, track-highway bridges, and depot-upper property development. These efforts saved 43 hectares of land and reduced investment costs by nearly USD 220 million, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and cost efficiency.
