High-speed rail design norms unveiled
Print Edition
THE National Railway Administration yesterday officially unveiled the country’s first design specification standards for high-speed rail links.
“These specifications are fundamental and important technical requirements,” said the NRA in a statement.
The NRA laid down standards for nearly 20 fields involved in the design and construction of lines for bullet trains running at a speed of 250-350 kilometers per hour.
Safety is among the top priorities. Railway construction firms were also asked to reduce pollution and to work in a more “greener” way.
The NRA’s specifications come from domestic experience as well as advice from foreign experts.
China has seen rapid development in the construction of high-speed railways and it is now eyeing selling equipment and technology it has developed to foreign markets.
Last week, China and Thailand inked a memorandum of understanding on railway cooperation, agreeing to jointly build Thailand’s first standard-gauge railway line, set to run over 800 kilometers.
Driven by its “go abroad” ambitions, Chinese railway firms are seeking more opportunities abroad.
Taking effect on February 1, 2015, the specifications will help railway firms to explore overseas, the NRA said.
