Chinese 30,000-tonne bus terminal lifted and moved in world record feat of engineering
- 5 years ago
Engineers in the southeastern city of Xiamen in Fujian province rotated a bus terminal 90 degrees - without dismantling the structure - in April 2019. The Houxi Long Distance Bus Station, built in 2015, was moved to make way for a new high-speed railway station. Weighing 30,000 tonnes - the equivalent of 2 Brooklyn Bridges - it took more than a month to complete the move, and the engineers have just been awarded a Guinness World Record for the feat.
