Steel demand for transportation construction

Recently, the outline of the development plan for greater bay area in guangdong-hong kong region was officially released, which makes a comprehensive planning and deployment for these items including strategic position, development goals, spatial layout, scientific and technological innovation. All these projects will speed up the demand for rectangular hollow section. The outline calls for the acceleration of infrastructure connectivity, the strengthen on infrastructure construction and unimpeded external communication channels. Besides, it also calls for enhancing internal connectivity, and promoting the formation of an infrastructure network with a rational layout, complete functions, smooth connectivity and efficient operation, thus providing strong support for the economic and social development of the greater bay.

In addition, the outline plan of the development also refer to many construction projects such as the construction of high-speed rail network, shenzhen to maoming railway, meizhou to chaoshan railway and so on. Of course, some dedicated line also need to be completed including hepu to zhanjiang railway passenger dedicated line, ganzhou to shenzhen, guangzhou to shanwei passenger dedicated line. In a word, lots of projects and items are in the position to construct. That’s to say, the potential of the pipe demands is huge including the demands for structural steel pipe.

At the same time, it is necessary to promote the construction of the sparse port railway, focusing on the promotion of guangzhou-nansha port railway, zhanjiang east island railway, shantou guangzhou-macao port railway and other projects, and complete the railway distribution network of the five coastal hub ports like guangzhou, shenzhen, zhuhai. In combination with port construction and the needs of cargo transportation, steel pipe manufacturers should timely advance the construction of chaozhou port & port railway. Moreover, the outline also supports the construction of the third runway of Hong Kong airport and the reconstruction and expansion of Macao airport, implements the reconstruction and expansion of guangzhou and shenzhen airports. Some construction projects have also been highlighted such as Hong Kong high speed railway and the west Kowloon station.

But the infrastructure market behind the outline plan is more over than the above mentioned. The greater bay area cover lots of places such as guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and it contains a population of 70 million by the year 2035. In that year, governments should built developed transportation system, proposed the major engineering project. All these need to rely on high speed railway and urban rail transit. With the efforts of China steel tube manufacturers and government, steel pipe demands will be more and more huge.
