Forming China's new great wall

摘要

Concrete pouring operations at the Three Gorges project in China are reaching a new level of intensity this year, as contractors aim to pour some 5.4M m~3 of concrete at an average rate of 450,000m~3/month. More than half of this will be flowing into Doka formwork to create the spillway and one intake section of the 2.3km long dam across the Yangtze river. China Gezhouba Construction Group Corporation (CGGC) is now constructing the spillway and dam along with the Ching Yung Joint Venture. The China Force Army Construction Company and the 378 Joint Venture Company are responsible for the power house.
