Shangyuanmen Urban Living Room River Viewing Platform is located at the north end of Central North Road, starting from the junction of Yanjiang Road and Yongji Avenue, adjacent to Exit 3 of Shangyuanmen Station of Metro Line 3, with a total length of about 213 meters, the highest point of 14.5 meters, and the width of the river frontage of 90.9 meters. After the completion of the project, it will form an organic connection with Wumadu through the river walkway, which will bring the public a pleasant and relaxing waterfront.
From "zero to zero" to "zero to whole"
Nanjing is known for its beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Combined with the legend of Dharma's "crossing the river with a reed", the Shangyuanmen river-viewing platform is designed with three groups of zigzagging platforms, which not only looks like a flat boat on the river, but also simulates the surrounding undulating mountainous terrain, showing the weather of the ancient capital of the great mountains and the great water.
The main part of the platform is a large-span, shaped, variable-section steel structure. The installation and assembly of the curved steel structure right above the subway and the precise merging with the concrete platform structure were the major difficulties in the construction of the project.
"Before transportation, it is made into pieces at the factory, and during installation, it is made into pieces at the site."The person in charge of the construction unit introduced, "the project steel structure are modularized production by the processing plant, 1:1 preassembly reduction on the tire frame, to ensure the accuracy of component processing, production, preassembly. After being delivered to the site, they are then assembled and welded into a whole according to the number to ensure consistency with the structural model and design drawings."
"State-of-the-art technology" guarantees "18 meters directly below".
Compared with the waterside project, the geological conditions of the onshore land portion are equally complex. Just 18 meters below the construction of the river-viewing platform is the operatingNanjing Metro Line 3The project requires concrete piles to be driven on both sides of the subway shield tunnel to support the entire river viewing platform. The project required concrete piles to be driven on both sides of the subway shield tunnel to support the load of the entire river viewing platform, making it particularly important to ensure the safe operation of the subway.
The construction unit, together with geological expert group and metro related experts, formulated a scientific and rigorous construction plan, which was fully demonstrated by all parties, and adopted the advanced full slewing and full sleeve process to minimize the construction disturbance of the project piles.
"This process can reduce the interference of the surrounding soil during the construction process, and has the characteristics of good quality of pile formation, no mud pollution, green environmental protection, and reduction of concrete filling coefficient, etc., which can effectively guarantee the overall stability and safety of the metro tunnel structure." The technical person in charge said.
"New look of the riverfront" to revitalize the "urban shared space"
Shangyuanmen River Viewing Platform unfolds to the Yangtze River in an open posture, echoing the new Jiangbei District on the opposite bank, the Yangtze River Bridge on the west side, Mufushan on the east side, Baguazhou and other important city landmarks, and it is an important part of the green corridor around the city in the south of the Yangtze River. When completed, it will connect the north and south sight lines and facilitate the connection of different urban functions in the north and south.
The project has a total of six upper and lower entrances and exits for the convenience of visitors. At the end of the platform, the public can walk along the steps into the riverside greenway and feel the breeze of the river. In front of the open steps of the entrance, a citizen's stage facing the city will be constructed, and the ground and the bridge will present a varied light show, adding a new sparkling landscape to the riverside scenic belt.
Walking greenway along the river is an important part of creating the riverside scenic zone. As the site is located on the flow line of the pedestrian walkway of the riverside scenic zone, the distance between the nearest pedestrian parking space on both sides is about 4 kilometers, and the walking time is too long, the project will build a "first-class station" to meet the corresponding functions, provide rest space for the public, and enhance the comfort of walking and enjoying the scenery.
Once the "industrial rust belt" after remediation and upgrading, into a "life show belt", and modern urban landscape. Gulou District will continue to promote the quality of the riverside scenic belt to improve the work, the realization of the city's greenway, the riverside scenic belt connected to each other, to build up a green corridor around the city of Jiangnan, Nanjing City, the formation of a green, humanistic ecological landscape, to better meet the people's aspirations for a better life.
