Our company has noticed that recently, there have been media reports of quality issues with the Taohe Bridge on the Qinghai Tongsai Expressway constructed by our company. Our company attaches great importance to this and immediately conducted a situation check. The relevant information is now announced as follows:
Previously, the construction unit of the Taohe Bridge had commissioned a third-party testing agency, Qinghai Traffic Testing Co., Ltd., to conduct quality inspections on the bridge. The test report indicates that:
1. The physical quality of the Taohe Bridge meets the design requirements and is qualified;
2. The steel bars used in construction are qualified products;

At present, the industry regulatory authorities have commissioned testing institutions to conduct physical quality testing and raw material sampling on the Taohe Bridge. The retest results will be promptly disclosed to the public.
Our company regards engineering quality as the lifeblood. Thank you to the media, netizens, and all sectors of society for their concern and attention. Welcome all sectors to supervise our company and jointly promote the development and progress of the enterprise.
