The Antarctic Qinling Station

The Antarctic Qinling Station is China’s fifth Antarctic scientific research station and the first one facing the Pacific sector. The Ross Sea where it is located is the sea area closest to the South Pole and is an ideal place for polar scientific expeditions, filling the gap in China’s scientific research in this region. The construction materials of the Antarctic Qinling Station need to resist the ultra-low temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius and the strong corrosion of the coastal environment. So, there are extremely high requirements for the stainless steel gratings and galvanized steel gratings that match the steel structure.

The Handan New Materials Company of Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes Co., Ltd. set up an Antarctic project team, precisely analyzed the requirements for the material, material type and anti-corrosion of the steel grating products needed for the construction of the Antarctic Qinling Station. After discussing the production process and determining the production cycle, it also organized the project team members to accurately calculate the bidding price. Eventually, it won the bid for the Antarctic scientific research station project with an absolute advantage. In a very short time, it overcame various difficulties and met the strict time requirements of only one cargo ship being dispatched in the Antarctic in a year with high standards. The product orders were successfully loaded and shipped recently, demonstrating the responsibility of the central enterprise and winning high praise from customers.
