[Subway] Six highlights of the first station construction of the Guangzhou-Guangzhou Railway Line 6

The first phase of Guangzhou Metro Line 6 will be opened for trial operation at the end of this year. Following the completion of the earlier tunnels, tracks and stations, the installation and renovation of the station's electromechanical equipment has also come to an end. Electromechanical installation and station decoration have accumulated 95% of the total.

There are six highlights in the construction of the first phase of the No. 6 line. Among them, the first phase of the No. 6 line has public toilets. It is the first line in the history of Guangzhou subway construction to set up public toilets on a large scale.

Public toilets

"The first phase of Line 6 has public toilets on the whole line. This is the first in the history of Guangzhou subway construction." The first phase of Line 6 will be designed with the toilet in mind as the first phase, and the sixth phase of the sixth line will be opened in the future. New lines such as the Houtong section of the Foshan line and the No. 9 line have been installed in the public toilets as far as possible in accordance with the new design specifications.

It is very difficult to set up the toilet in the underground space, which is directly limited by the layout of the room, ventilation facilities, drainage and sewage, and the size of the station. Metro designers and engineers overcome difficulties and make full use of the location of the station hall, platform or passage, and set up toilets at all stations. The reporter visited the scene and found that the station fully took into account the needs of all parties in the allocation of the position. According to the "Guangzhou Public Toilet Management Measures", the ratio of men's and women's toilets is not less than 1:1.5, the proportion of men's and women's toilets in the first station of Line 6 Basically reached 1:2. There are usually 1 to 2 male toilets, and there are 3 to 4 female toilets. In most of the stations, there are also barrier-free toilets. Even some of the barrier-free toilets at the stations are available for men and women. (Note: The Cultural Park Station, Yide Road Station and Beijing Road Station Toilets are respectively located on the 8th line, entrances and exits and joint passages of the long-term construction, and will be opened simultaneously in the future)

First application of LED energy saving lamps

The lighting fixtures installed in the first phase of Line 6 are different from the traditional fluorescent lamps in the past. In order to implement the concept of energy saving and environmental protection, after several years of experiments, in addition to the station emergency lighting and personalized design areas, the first phase of Line 6 will be the first to widely use LED energy-saving lamps in the general lighting of public areas of the station.

Since 2009, Guangzhou Metro has started experimental applications of LED lighting fixtures at Huangcun Station, Guanzhou Station, University North Station, Moshasha Station, Chigang Station and Xiaogang Station. The test results show that compared with fluorescent lamps, LED lamps have three characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection and long life. According to the technician, the LED has high luminous efficiency, and the LED lamp consumes less energy than the fluorescent lamp when the same illumination is achieved. Moreover, LED lamps do not contain mercury, no ultraviolet radiation, and the lifetime can reach more than 40,000 hours, while the life of fluorescent lamps is only 8,000-10,000 hours.

The new guide column marks the station name and the "national standard"

The subway guide post in the first phase of Line 6 is very different from the other guide columns. The first stage of Line 6 will be used to guide the columns within 500 meters from each station. On the original basis, the station name and the “national standard” (the national unified subway mark) will be added, so that passengers outside the station can find specific details more clearly. Subway station entrances and exits.

According to the technical staff, there are now a number of guiding columns within 500 meters of the subway station to allow the public to find the subway station on the ground. However, due to the lack of specific station names, many people think that the guidelines are not clear enough. To this end, the Metro Company has specially revised the "Guangzhou Metro Guideline System Guide" to clarify that the guide column outside the station should be based on the principle of setting the guidance distance of 500 meters from the entrance and exit, and increase the specific station name and national regulations on the guide column. Identification and other information. According to the subway company, since the installation of the guide column needs to be reported to the relevant departments of each district, the report construction plan has been started. It will be installed after the completion of the construction procedures to ensure the completion of the project.

7 subway stations optimized transfer design

There are 7 transfer stations in the first phase of Line 6, which is the most interchangeable line in the line after opening. The reporter visited the seven transfer stations and found that, depending on the transfer mode, they are mainly divided into two categories: one is the platform that directly transfers from the platform through the escalator and the elevator to the other line; the other is through the channel and station. The hall is changing. A large number of design optimizations have been made for both types of transfers, minimizing the transfer time.

“The stations of the first phase of Line 6 and the north extension of Line 5 and Line 3, such as the District Zhuang Station, Yantang Station and Tanwei Station, have considered the first phase of the Line 6 transfer plan at the same time. Therefore, the transfer is more convenient.” The technician said that due to the civil structure of the original site, Huangsha Station, Tianhe Bus Terminal, Haizhu Square Station and Dongshankou Station are all transferred through the passage or the station hall, but the subway company is Optimized for the design, the channel length should be shortened as much as possible, and the channel width should be widened as much as possible to avoid passengers' transfer time being too long and overcrowded.

More accessible facilities

The first station of Line 6 realized the barrier-free access of the station through the vertical elevator combined with the stair lift of the disabled, and also set up more blind guidance systems. These user-friendly facilities will ensure that people with disabilities can take the subway more conveniently and safely and comfortably.

On the premise of municipal planning, the first phase of the No. 6 Line Ruyifang Station and Huanghuagang Station set up a vertical elevator that goes straight out of the ground to transport passengers in wheelchairs from the ground to the station floor. For the case where a vertical elevator cannot be set, a disabled stair lifter that goes straight out of the ground is provided. The first vertical elevator car of Line 6 is also equipped with a sub-control panel suitable for wheelchair users. The call box button is equipped with Braille and voice-to-station reminders. The rear view mirror is suitable for wheelchairs to enter and exit the elevator to observe the rear situation. The system facilitates the needy passengers to contact the station control room and get help.

New ticket machine can find 5 yuan notes

In the new equipment application, the first phase of Line 6 introduced the new automatic ticket vending machine for banknotes. The subway company said that the change function will increase the value of 5 yuan denominations. For example, when a passenger buys a 2 yuan ticket for 10 yuan, there is no need to retrieve a lot of coins, which makes it inconvenient to carry. Now you only need to find a 5 Yuan and 3 coins are fine. It is understood that the first phase of Line 6 plans to put in 179 automatic ticket vending machines.
