Hotan-Ruoqiang railway completes loop line

Reducing harm

In some sections with strong wind and shifting sand dunes, designers built bridges to allow the sand and wind to pass beneath them, reducing any harm to the line.

Grass, trees and shrubbery are also planted along the rail line as a barricade against sand.

Confronted with an intricate natural environment, the company set up a management and construction team with rich experience in desert railway construction, as well as a research team, said Zhang Gang, project manager of China Railway's 14th Bureau Group.
