On June 19th, with the completion of the final steel structure component, the newly constructed Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station reached its highest point and entered the phase of interior and exterior decoration. As one of Asia's largest TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) integrated transportation hubs, it is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.

Shaped like the Kapok flower, Guangzhou's city flower

Located in the southern part of Baiyun District in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station covers about 453,000 square meters. It adopts the design concept of "nestled by the Baiyun Mountain and the banks of the Pearl River, a picturesque scene unfolds as flowers bloom in full splendor". The station's steel structure consists of the roof, "petals", steel columns, and steel beams. The roof's steel structure weighs 8,100 tons, with a total area of 95,224 square meters, equivalent to the size of 13 standard football fields. The steel "petals" consist of curved columns with varying diameters, forming the Kapok flower of Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station. It boasts an impressive cantilever span of 28 meters and a total weight of 8,250 tons.

18 kinds of intelligent robots helped to construct the Station

According to reports, Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station is the first railway engineering project in China to extensively utilize robots for construction. It has so far employed 18 types of intelligent robots, including trackless all-position crawling welding robots, concrete leveling robots, floor finishing robots, and underground polishing robots. 

These construction robots have demonstrated their capabilities at the construction site of the station, becoming a pilot case for the application of digitalization and artificial intelligence technologies in the construction industry.

Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station to be completed by the end of 2023

After the completion of Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station, it will serve as a hub for various transportation connections, including the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Beijing-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway, and Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-Speed Railway, as well as six metro lines and other supporting facilities and public spaces. It will accommodate all conventional-speed trains from Guangzhou Railway Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station, becoming one of Asia's largest TOD integrated transportation hubs. Upon alighting from the city's public transportation at the supporting urban transit interchange platform, passengers will be able to enter the Station and wait for trains in less than two minutes, with a walking distance of fewer than 100 meters. This achievement truly realizes seamless transfers and convenient connections.

It is reported that Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station is set to be completed by the end of 2023. The China Railway Guangzhou Group's transportation office is designing the route layout to optimize railway capacity and ensure the smooth acceptance of all conventional passenger rail services from Guangzhou Railway Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station. This will further advance the process of "high-speed railways entering urban areas", address the capacity bottleneck of Guangzhou's railway hubs, and the station will play a greater role as a "catalyst" in realizing the "Greater Bay Area on Rails" and promoting the economic and social development of the Greater Bay Area.

亚洲最大的TOD综合交通枢纽之一——广州白云站将于年底竣工

6月19日，随着最后一榀钢结构杆件拼装完成，新建广州白云站正式封顶，进入室内外装饰装修阶段。作为亚洲最大的TOD综合交通枢纽之一，广州白云站拟于2023年底竣工。

以广州市花“木棉花”为造型

广州白云站位于广州市白云区南部，总建筑面积约45.3万平方米，采取“云山珠水、盛世花开”的设计理念，站房钢结构的总用钢量约为11.8万吨，由屋盖、“花瓣”和钢柱钢梁三部分组成，其中屋盖钢结构重8100吨，总面积为95224平方米，面积相当于13个标准足球场大小；“花瓣”钢结构是最大悬挑28米、总重量8250吨的花瓣状格构式变径斜柱，构成了广州白云站的木棉花造型。

18种智能机器人助力项目施工

据介绍，广州白云站是全国首个大规模运用机器人进行施工的铁路工程项目，施工全过程已累计试用了包括无轨道全位置爬行焊接机器人、地面整平机器人、地面抹平机器人、地库抹光机器人等在内的18种智能机器人。

这些建筑机器人在广州白云站的工地上大展身手，成为数字化及人工智能技术在建筑行业实现应用的试点案例。

广州白云站将于2023年底竣工

广州白云站建设完成后，将引入京广铁路、京广高铁、广湛高铁等线路，同步配套6条地铁线路等多种交通接驳设施及公共空间，承接广州站、广州东站全部普速列车，成为亚洲最大的TOD综合交通枢纽之一。旅客从配套的城市公共交通下车后，通过衔接平台，不到2分钟即可进站候车，步行距离不到100米，真正实现了平层对接、无缝换乘。

据悉，广州白云站将于2023年底竣工。广铁集团运输系统正着手研究线路铺排计划，优化铁路运能，使广州白云站顺利承接广州站和广州东站全部普速客运业务，进一步推进“高铁进市区”的进程，破解广州铁路枢纽运能瓶颈，为构建和完善“轨道上的大湾区”、促进大湾区经济社会发展起到更大的“助推器”作用。
