"Building Bridges, Preserving Nature: Qitong Group's Path to Sustainable Development"
Our commitment to environmental protection
At Qitong Group, we believe that responsible business growth aligns hand in hand with conscientious environmental stewardship. On each project we undertake, we aim to make significant strides in Environmental Protection. This commitment is exemplified in our project situated primarily on high-altitude meadows, where vegetation growth is challenging. The design phase of the project was deeply rooted in the principle of 'Maximum Protection through Minimum Destruction', which safeguarded the environment and ensured seamless integration of the highway into the natural landscape.
"Building a Greener Future: Qitong Group's Commitment to Environmental Protection"
Our sustainable practices started from the blueprint design phase where we rejected the outdated approach of 'destruction before restoration'. Instead, we concurrently conducted design, construction, and utilization. We adhered to the principle of safety, rationality, economy, and practicality, keeping aesthetic appeal in mind. In doing so, we aimed for the harmony between people, vehicles, road, and the natural and social environment, fulfilling basic functional requirements while economizing project cost, restoring the ecological environment along the route, and maximizing the return on investment.
Our meticulous approach to environmental protection is evident in our operations. For instance, in the route design, we prioritized eco-friendly routes to protect the ecological environment. The route was optimized to avoid farmland and areas with good vegetation, reducing pollution and ecological damage. We implemented slope designs to minimize excavation. In terms of subgrade design, we ensured careful preservation and maintenance of topsoil and vegetation before soil extraction. We designed drainage systems for the road surface and subgrade. We minimized excavation depth for easy soil and vegetation recovery.
In our bridge design, we considered the environment, practicality of construction, use of local materials, and maintenance while ensuring safety and driver's visual comfort. We paid particular attention to harmonizing the bridge design with surrounding natural scenery, minimizing environmental damage.
Through our Environmental Protection and Landscape Design, we treated soil extraction sites and construction access roads with soil and water conservation measures. We established concentrated drainage systems for bridges crossing rivers to protect the water environment.
Qitong Group is more than an infrastructure and engineering company; we're stewards of our environment. Our mission is not just to build, but to build responsibly, leaving a minimal footprint on the world we share.
