China amazes the world with numerous engineering marvels, from underground tunnels, to bridges, and skyscrapers.
It has become a guiding architect in creating continent connecting infrastructure, and literally bridging ravines and bays. And the nation’s highway and high-speed rail networks and metro in cities are expanding at an unprecedented speed.
Through its industrial capacity, and sheer developmental will, China is attempting to reforge the silk roads of old, interconnecting Eurasia, and engineering the foundations for a community of shared future for mankind. But how does the country make that happen? Because it has hard working people, very capable and reliable construction companies, and of course, high-end equipment to aid its many builders.
In a bid to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese companies and their state-of-the-art equipment are now in Moscow, Russia. Since June 2018, four tunnel-boring machines developed by China Railway Construction Corp., have started tunneling at the southwest section of the Third Interchange Circuit metro project in Moscow.
