Application of Steel Props in Nanjing South Railway Station Expansion

Project Name: Underground Parking Garage – Nanjing South Railway Station Expansion
Location: Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China
Project Time: August 2022 – June 2023

Overview

As part of the Nanjing South Railway Station expansion project, a new three-level underground parking garage was built to accommodate increasing passenger traffic. The project required strong and flexible temporary support solutions during the large-scale concrete pouring of slabs and beams.

To meet strict safety and efficiency standards, the contractor selected Zhuozhan Steel Props for formwork support.

Zhuozhan Solution

Zhuozhan provided a customized steel prop system designed for underground parking structures:

High Load Capacity: Adjustable steel props capable of supporting heavy slab loads.

Flexibility: Easy height adjustment to adapt to different construction sections.

Durability: Hot-dip galvanized finish ensured long-term reusability and resistance to site conditions.

Integration: Perfect compatibility with H20 beams, steel formwork, and scaffold towers.

Efficiency: Modular design accelerated the setup and dismantling process, saving labor time.

Application in Construction

The steel props were widely used in:

Slab Formwork Support: Provided stable bearing capacity during continuous concrete pouring.

Beam Construction: Adjustable props ensured accurate leveling and alignment.

Temporary Shoring: Offered flexible solutions for different depths across the multi-level basement.

Project Feedback

Mr. Li, the Project Manager of the Nanjing South Station Expansion, commented:

“Zhuozhan’s steel props gave us both reliability and efficiency. Their team provided a tailored solution that perfectly matched the unique challenges of this underground parking project. The props were easy to assemble, extremely stable, and reusable across multiple stages. With Zhuozhan’s support, we delivered the project ahead of schedule without compromising safety.”

Result

The underground parking garage was completed in June 2023, providing over 2,000 new parking spaces for passengers. The use of Zhuozhan Steel Props significantly improved worksite efficiency, reduced material waste, and ensured safety throughout the construction process.
