Academician Chen Xiangsheng delivered a speech on behalf of the Engineering Centre. First of all, he thanked the leaders of the Group and the co-construction units for their trust in him and elected him as the director; then he reviewed his work and growth experience in the General Research Institute of Coal and expressed his heartfelt thanks to the General Research Institute for nurturing him and said that he would contribute all his efforts and strength to the development of the Engineering Centre; he gave the positioning of the Engineering Centre in the national and international arenas and proposed the direction of the future development of the Centre and its He gave the positioning of the Engineering Centre in the national and international arena, and proposed the future direction and key technologies of the Centre. Academician Chen pointed out that the Engineering Centre, as the only national scientific research platform in the field of deep well construction, must be guided by Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, overcome difficulties, form special deep well construction techniques and key supporting technology and equipment under complex geological conditions, and better serve China's deep mineral resources and underground space development.

Academician Chen delivered a speech on behalf of the Engineering Centre

It is the only national-level engineering technology research and innovation base in the field of deep mine construction in China, led by Beijing China Coal and Mountain Engineering Co. The centre adheres to the "Four Orientations", focuses on the national deep mineral resources development, deep earth engineering, national defense construction in the major engineering construction and industry development needs, and aims to serve the national major strategic tasks and key project implementation, with a total of "deep well stratigraphic exploration and engineering risk control The courses include "Deep Well Stratum Exploration and Engineering Risk Control", "Deep Well Complex Formation Modification Technology and Equipment", "Deep Well Perimeter Rock Control and Engineering Structure", "Deep Well Engineering Construction Technology and Equipment" and The five research and development directions are "Deep Well Engineering Safety Technology".

Co-builders discuss the development of the Engineering Centre 

Relying on the college of Civil and Transportation Engineering and the Future Underground City Research Institute, Shenzhen University was approved as a joint construction unit by the competent unit of the Engineering Center in May 2022, which is the first national research platform in which our institute participates, and a total of more than 30 researchers are included in the research staff sequence of the Center. The Engineering Centre aims to further deepen the cooperation between industry, academia and research, give full play to its leading technology advantage in the field of underground space development, serve the strategic needs of the country and the industry, and support the high-level development and utilization of deep mineral resources and underground space, with the objectives of "deep high geothermal engineering environment control technology platform", "deep The platform will provide a platform for monitoring and controlling the deformation of the surrounding rocks, a research platform on the collaborative bearing mechanism of the deformation of the surrounding rocks and a research platform on the integration of materials and structures of the deep well walls. This national research platform will provide strong support for the university's scientific research, talent training and achievement transformation in the field of underground space.
