In the movie *Nezha 2*, the "Dragon Scale Armor" became the ultimate mythical protective gear with its indestructible defense. In reality, Jinling Coatings has used technological innovation as its brush to write a modern engineering protection legend in the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge (Xiamen Section) Liuwudian Channel Bridge West Main Tower Anti-Collision Steel Caisson Project. This super engineering project spanning the strait, enhanced by Jinling Coatings' anti-corrosion technology, stands tall amidst fierce winds, huge waves, and salt spray erosion, as if clad in a "real-life version of the Dragon Scale Armor."
The Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge (Xiamen Section) project spans approximately 19.62 kilometers, with the Liuwudian Channel Bridge stretching 1,948 meters, a cable tower height of 178.1 meters, and a main span of 928 meters. It is the longest-span bridge in Fujian Province and the first offshore suspension bridge in the province. The West Main Tower Anti-Collision Steel Caisson, shaped like a dumbbell, features a double-walled steel caisson structure. It measures about 105.8 meters in length, 47 meters in width, and 11.3 meters in height, with a total plane area of 3,842 square meters—equivalent to the size of nine standard basketball courts. Including additional components, the total weight exceeds 4,200 tons, surpassing the area and weight of the anti-collision steel caisson of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, making it the largest and heaviest permanent double-walled anti-collision steel caisson for a cross-sea bridge in China.
As a crucial cross-sea passage connecting Xiamen and Kinmen, the anti-collision steel caisson of the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge faces long-term challenges such as seawater erosion, salt spray corrosion, and mechanical impact. Traditional anti-corrosion coatings are prone to peeling and aging due to environmental stress, leading to protection failure. Therefore, the project demanded higher standards for the coatings' weather resistance, adhesion, and environmental friendliness. Jinling Coatings, leveraging its expertise and technological accumulation in the field of special anti-corrosion, provided a comprehensive coating solution. Like the overlapping scales of the "Dragon Scale Armor," the solution effectively offers robust protection for the anti-collision steel caisson.
The successful implementation of the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge project further solidifies Jinling Coatings' leading position in the field of marine heavy-duty anti-corrosion. Moving forward, the company will continue to adhere to its "specialization, refinement, differentiation, and innovation" development strategy, promoting the industrial application of cutting-edge technologies such as high-performance protection. This will provide more efficient anti-corrosion solutions for global marine engineering, new energy equipment, and other fields.
As Jinling Coatings has repeatedly emphasized, "Technological innovation is the core driving force for sustainable development. We not only aim to meet current anti-corrosion needs but also pave the way for the future green marine economy."
With 40 years of experience in the heavy-duty anti-corrosion field, Jinling Coatings' technology has safeguarded key national projects such as the Guanyinsi Yangtze River Bridge, the Central Yunnan Water Diversion Project, and the Daqing Oilfield. The Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge project not only tests the company's technical capabilities but also serves as a microcosm of China's high-end manufacturing advancing toward becoming a maritime power. Just as Nezha in the movie bears the responsibility of protecting all living beings, Jinling Coatings, with its mission of "technological innovation and green anti-corrosion," is building a safety barrier for China's "blue territory" in infrastructure.
