A series of comprehensive results such as the Proposal for the Development and Construction Mode of the Pinglu Canal. At the same time, according to the characteristics and difficulties of the construction of the Pinglu Canal project, the overall organization of the project construction, technological construction methods and other advanced planning and systematic arrangements, and actively carry out special researches such as "reducing investment-oriented technical measures and construction organization plans". Construction will do a good job of adequate technical, equipment and resource reserves.
