The CNY 4.11 billion, 600 megawatt Qiongzhong Pumped Storage Hydropower Station is Hainan Province’s first pumped storage project located in Qiongzhong County. Upon completion, it will help balance power supply in times of peak load regulation. The project consists of upper and lower reservoirs, a water delivery system, and a power generating plant with complex pipelines requiring multi-disciplined engineering on a tight construction period. Zhongnan Engineering Corporation was responsible for the feasibility study, survey, and design of the station, delivered as a 3D digital system to be used during construction and for asset lifecycle management.
The project team used ProjectWise for information sharing and management which improved design efficiency and helped them to avoid rework. Using GEOPAK and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, the team optimized earthworks planning, the excavation scheme, and design layout for more than 2,800 cables. Bentley’s modeling and analysis applications shortened design time by two months and reduced design errors by 90 percent, saving more than CNY 20 million in design costs. Using Navigator Mobile and i-models, the team accessed the 3D model onsite to guide construction which simplified coordination and shortened construction time by approximately three months.
