In many national key construction projects undertaken and designed by CCCC, it has created many firsts and firsts in the history of water conservancy and bridge construction in China, Asia and even the world. The Yangtze estuary deepwater channel regulation project is the largest estuary channel regulation project in China at present, and its scale and technical difficulty are the highest in the world. The first phase of Shanghai Yangshan Deepwater Port Area is the first in the history of port construction in the world to build a large-scale modern container port area offshore and far away from mainland waters by relying on island reefs. Tangshan Caofeidian Project is the largest project group during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, with a total reclamation area of 300 square kilometers, which is the largest single reclamation project in the world. Nanjing Yangtze River Third Bridge is the world's first cable-stayed bridge with herringbone steel tower, Sutong Yangtze River Bridge is the world's cable-stayed bridge with the highest main tower, the largest pile group foundation, the longest stay cable and the longest span, Hangzhou Bay Bridge is the world's longest highway cross-sea bridge, and Runyang Bridge and Donghai Bridge were selected as "Top Ten National Construction Scientific and Technological Achievements in 2005". CCCC has 20 scientific research institutes, R&D centers and experimental centers, and many scientific research achievements with independent intellectual property rights have reached the international advanced level. Scientific research achievements such as maritime and highway engineering GPS aerial survey and remote sensing positioning technology, highway CAD integration technology, auxiliary dredging decision system, freezing damage prediction and comprehensive prevention technology of highway tunnels in cold regions, comb breakwater and so on have been widely used in the field of infrastructure construction. CCCC has successively won 20 national science and technology progress awards, 45 Chinese architectural engineering Luban awards, 27 Zhan Tianyou civil engineering science and technology awards, more than 40 national quality engineering awards, and more than 40 provincial and ministerial quality engineering awards/kloc-0.
CCCC's port machinery manufacturing industry enjoys a high reputation among international counterparts. The ZPMC brand of Shanghai Zhenhua Port Machinery, controlled by the company, has become 74% of the market share of similar products in the world, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years according to the order of bridge cranes.
CCCC actively participates in the cooperation and competition of foreign economic aid projects and international engineering projects. Over the past 20 years, it has undertaken more than 50,000 international engineering projects and labor contracts1.50 million US dollars, with a turnover of1.40 million US dollars. It has been selected as one of the 225 largest international contractors of ENR in the United States for years and enjoys a high reputation in the Asian, African and Latin American markets.
