# Zhengwan High Speed line – China

![Zhengwan High Speed line – China](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/header_lgv_chine.jpg)

**SYSTRA Shanghai has contributed to the creation of two sections of the
Zhengwan
HSL, which crosses China from the southwest to the centre and continues the
[development of high speed rail](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/high-speed-rail/)
in China.

Movements on the new Zhengwan line began on 1st December 2019 between the
capital of Henan Zhengzhou and the second largest city Hubei Xiangyang. This
incudes two sections for which SYSTRA supervised the construction, as technical
asssistant to the local contractor ZTCY, for a length of 192km, half the 389km
commissioned for this first section.

The first section covers the crossing and outskirts of Xiangyang over 143km,
including the two stations of Dongjin and Nanzhang. The second section involves
the crossing and outskirts of XinYe over 49km, including the station of Dengzhou
East. SYSTRA experts were mobilised for the civil engineering works supervision
of these sections mixing 44km of tunnels, 102km of single and twin-track
viaducts, as well as assignments for earthworks and the management of five box
girder prefabrication sites.

The works started in September 2016 and finished in 2019 on the XinYe section,
and in October 2019 for the Xiangyang section. On site, SYSTRA also ensured the
quality control, the safety inspections, the audits and the independent
certification of all the construction sites (bridges, embankments, tunnels,
concrete slabs, maintenance zones and stations).

By 2022, the Zhengwan HSL will link Zhengzhou to Chongqing in the south of the
country via Wanzhou. Its length will therefore double to 818km for a complete
journey in less than 4 hours, thanks to a commercial speed of 350km/h. China is
today the country with the longest HSL network and since 2002, SYSTRA has made a
strong contribution to its expansion.

A pioneer among international engineering companies in the country, our Group
has won around 20 contracts to support HSL in China, which had close to 30,000km
in 2020 and should reach 38,000km by 2025.
