Project Introduction 1.1 A Survey of the Project and Its Significance 1.1.1 Scope of the Project Design (1) Baoji Station (including K1244+600) to Lanzhou station (including K1744+000); (2) Baoji Pivot Supplementary Project (3) Lanzhou Pivot Supplementary Project 1.1.2 Significance of project & geographic location of the line In Northwest China railways, which head eastward from Weiwu-South Station, through Lan- Wu section of Lan-Xin rail-line and Baoji-Lanzhou section of Longhai rail-line and through Gan-Wu and Bao-Zhong rail lines, meeting at Baoji and heading eastward from Xi'an, are called East-heading railways of Northwest China. Of the East-heading railways, Bao-Zhong railway and Baoji-Lanzhou section of Longhai railway are two single-track lines, which bear 72% of the outward-conveying goods and 90.2% passenger conveyance in northwest region. They used for passenger and goods exchange with the east, the central and the southwest regions of China, as a result, they have heavy transportation load. The railway-attracting area, with its vast land, is an important base for energy and material supplies and a strategic rear base of China. Since China's opening-up and reform, northwest region has experienced a rapid development in economy and a rapid increase of materials conveyed to other regions. During the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" period, Bao-Zhong rail-line was built, of which the total conveyance weight has amounted to 9.4 million ton, though it has been in use for only three years. To date, the east-heading railways are being fully used and their transportation capacity is badly in need of further increase by means of rail-line reconstruction. Northwest region's east-heading railways have a conveyance capacity as follows: Bao-Lan section of Longhai railway operates 15 pairs of passenger trains and 10.79 million ton goods conveyance, and Bao-Zhong railway operates 3 pairs of passenger trains and 14.2 million ton goods conveyance. The total conveyance capacity amounts to 18 pairs of passenger trains and 24.99 million tons for goods conveyance. According to the analysis on the actual growth of economy and rail-transportation in northwest region and State's capital investment in the northwest regions, especially in exploitation of petroleum, chemical fertilizer, agriculture and colored metal. It is predicted that in the year 2005 the total volume of outward-conveying goods will be 33 million tons and that 30 pairs of passenger trains are needed. A further railway transporting capacity of 8 million tons for goods conveyance and 12 pairs of passenger trains is to be required. In 2010 the total volume of outward-conveying goods will be 41.5 million tons and 36 pairs of passenger trains are needed, so there is a shortage transporting capacity of 16.5 million tons for goods conveyance and 18 pairs of passenger trains. Therefore, one of the two railways should be reconstructed into a two-lined railway with large transportation capacity to meet the needs. To build a two-lined railway with large capacity. two construction plans are proposed, either to add a second line to Bao-Lan railway or to Bao-Zhong railway. After a feasibility study, reasoning and comparison, the Railway Ministry find that adding a second line to Bao-Lan railway corresponds with the main direction of passenger and goods transportation. This will result in great flexibility and adaptability of the existing railway-net, which will benefit economic development of Gansu Province, especially Lanzhou. one vital city in northwest regions Therefore, the plan to add a second line to Baoji-Lanzhou Section of Longhai Railway is adopted. This railway section starts in the east from Baoji Station in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, which lies in the west end of Weihe Plain, then goes along Weihe River up to Longxi Station, then it heads up Xian River, a branch of Wei River, to Mahe town, passes through Dayingliang watershed and then via Dingxi Basin, along the upper reaches of Guanchuan River, goes through Quercha watershed in Lijiaping and runs down along Wanchuan River, enters the valley of Yellow River at Sangyuanzi and goes against Yellow River up to Lanzhou, Capital of Gansu Province. The topography of the places the rail-line passes by is low in east and high in west, which appears to be an unsymmetrical "M" shape. 1.2 EconomicOutline within the second Bao-lanRailway AttractingArea 1.2.1 Large part of the second Bao-lanRailway lies in Gansu province.It's direct attracting area covers 70,000 square kilometers, and the current population is about 9 million. There are rich mine resources in northwest regions, over 100 kinds of minerals have been found out, most of which are coal, petroleum, iron ore, salt, mirabilite, asbestos, cement rock,
