According to the consulting services contract, T.Y. Lin International China will provide comprehensive consulting services for this critical transportation infrastructure project. These services encompass surveying, design development, feasibility studies, and the preparation of full tender documentation. The project will connect the islands of Hithadhoo, Hulhudhoo, and Meedhoo, significantly improving travel conditions for residents, promoting regional economic integration and enhancing social livelihood. It holds milestone significance for boosting the overall urban efficiency of Addu City. T.Y. Lin International China will closely collaborate with the Maldivian Ministry of Construction to advance this strategic project. We are committed to leveraging our global experience in the design and consultation of cross-sea passages, bridges, and complex terrain engineering to deliver high-quality consulting outcomes, contributing to Chinese expertise to the modernization and interconnectivity of infrastructures in Maldives. Prior to the signing ceremony, Dr. Chen Xiaohu and his delegation met with the Chinese Embassy in the Maldives. Project Background Addu City is a key economic and demographic hub in the southern Maldives. Hithadhoo, Hulhudhoo, and Meedhoo, as its core components, have long faced constraints on local socio-economic development due to the lack of connectivity between these islands. This project is a priority transportation initiative within the Maldivian government's national development plan and is highly anticipated by various sectors.

2025-09-05 On August 29, the “AI Dream Building · Empowering Innovation with Yantron” AI Innovation Competition was held at the Yantron Park in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing. Fourteen participating teams focused on industry pain points, using AI as a tool to solve real-world challenges. Each team delivered an 8-minute presentation followed by a 2-minute expert Q&A session, covering diverse areas such as AI application in preliminary bridge scheme design, enterprise-level AI document parsing, water conservancy regulation retrieval, rail transit design, urban renewal planning, HVAC energy saving, and building safety inspection. The projects demonstrated deep integration of AI with practical business scenarios, showcasing the journey from “technological concept” to “real-world application.” AI Application in Preliminary Bridge Scheme Design, Yanjian Enterprise-Level AI Document Parsing Platform, and AI Intelligent O&M System for Mega-City Rail Transit Bridges — a Three-in-One AI Solution Combining AI Vision Recognition + AI Equipment Clusters + AI Predictive Decision Models received widespread attention during the roadshow. One project showcased how AI could be applied to accelerate and enhance early-stage bridge design scenarios; another demonstrated how AI could improve efficiency in parsing enterprise-level documents; and the third presented a three-in-one intelligent O&M framework for rail transit, offering a new path for future digital and intelligent upgrades in transportation. The competition invited professional judges from the Chongqing Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, Chongqing University, and ByteDance. They evaluated entries from the perspectives of “technological innovation, business adaptability, and feasibility of implementation,” giving precise feedback—highlighting strengths while also offering professional guidance for further optimization. In the end, after review by the judging panel, the championship went to the team led by Xiao Kui from the Bridge Division of TYLin International (China) with their project AI Application in Preliminary Bridge Scheme Design. Wang Yang, Chief Digital Intelligence Officer of Yantron Group and Executive Director of Intelligent TY, stated that the purpose of this competition is to provide a platform for discovering AI cross-disciplinary talents. At the same time, Yantron Group will actively embrace AI and explore new paths in digital intelligence. Yang Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Yantron Group and Chairman of TYLin International (China), summarized that the 14 teams participating today demonstrated the tremendous potential of AI in fields such as engineering construction and urban operations. They also reflected Yantron Group’s deep integration with AI. By continuously combining our professional expertise with AI in a two-way drive, we aim to empower innovation and enhance our future competitiveness. Man-Chung Tang, Foreign Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Honorary Chairman of TYLin International (China), conveyed the spirit of the Chongqing Science and Technology Innovation Conference before the competition. He emphasized: “We are engineers, and the principle of engineering is innovation. Having innovative ideas is important, but true innovation only comes when we turn imagination into reality and validate its feasibility. This competition is an excellent opportunity to do exactly that.”

2025-08-21 Recently, the Shenzhen Futian Shanhai Tower Energy & Carbon Management Platform, jointly developed by Shenzhen Futian District Bureau of Public Works, YanTron Group-Intelligent TY, was selected as AI-empowered Smart Building Innovation in Practice Selected Case(2025) by the Smart Building Committee of the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency. This marks a major step forward for YanTron Group in driving deep AI–Smart Building integration and exploring innovative development pathways. The project adopts an integrated approach including low-carbon behavior guidance, lighting optimization, HVAC, power distribution optimization, and eco-friendly material application, while leveraging core technologies of IoT + Data-driven + Model-driven. It establishes a smart energy-carbon management platform integrating IoT sensing, system fusion, and data empowerment. AI empowerment is the platform’s core highlight, demonstrated in two key aspects: Efficient Management – AI assists managers in energy budgeting, big data processing, energy review, and professional energy-saving diagnostics, supporting operational optimization and retrofit decision-making while improving management efficiency. Smart Analysis & Decision-making – By combining objectives, strategies, and weather conditions, the platform enables future energy trend simulations, real-time energy monitoring, and historical review of consumption drivers. It provides precise energy-saving diagnostics, identifies improvement directions, and achieves a dynamic balance between energy efficiency and comfort. The platform realizes “full data integration, full state visualization” in building management, significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. It offers a replicable and scalable model for retrofitting existing buildings. The project strongly aligns with national green, low-carbon, and digital transformation strategies, providing an important demonstration for reducing building energy use, achieving dual-carbon targets, and promoting low-carbon smart construction in the Greater Bay Area.
