Client: Yangzhou Guazhou Pumping Station Construction Office

Location: Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province 

Work Period: June 2016 – September 2018

Service to Scope: Surveying, Hydrological Analysis

Situated at the confluence of the Ancient Canal and the Yangtze River, the project enhances regional flood control and drainage capacity while improving water ecology. It is a key component of Yangzhou’s urban drainage and water revitalization initiatives.

       Challenges included temperature-controlled construction of high frost-resistant concrete, implementing a management-maintenance separation model, and creating a multi-dimensional innovative hydraulic demonstration project. Technological innovations in flow passage profile, ecological revetments, blade adjustment mechanisms, and eco-friendly building design were adopted. The station uses vertical units with elbow-shaped inlets and siphon outlets, improving operational efficiency and management conditions. Integrating the "Grand Canal Cultural Belt" initiative, the architectural design incorporates Han-Tang style, blending water engineering with cultural elements to form a riverside hydraulic cultural scenic area.

     The project initiated Yangzhou’s first active urban drainage model, protecting 320,000 mu of farmland and supporting nearly one million residents, reducing flood losses by over RMB 10 billion. It received China’s Water Conservancy Engineering Quality (Dayu) Award (2019–2020) and the Luban Prize (2022–2023, first batch).
