Zhejiang completes power line relocation to support major water infrastructure project
A t the start of August, crews completed the relocation and underground installation of power lines in the village of Shanhuangtang, Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province in China.“ With the lines now placed underground, access for heavy equipment is unobstructed and the power supply for tunnel construction is safer and more reliable,” said the project manager at the reservoir construction site.
The Jingling Reservoir is the largest by storage capacity and the single largest investment among Zhejiang’ s key national water conservancy projects during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Designed to provide both flood control and water supply, the reservoir will, once complete, enhance downstream flood protection, address existing gaps in river basin safeguards, protect the lives and property of 2.2 million people and secure water resources for 4 million residents in both urban and rural areas.
To ensure reliable service for this critical public project, State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Company implemented a dedicated support plan, working in coordination with the reservoir’ s project headquarters to optimise construction schedules and engaging early and extensively with local villages and communities to gain understanding and support.

During construction of the Shanhuangtang auxiliary tunnel, high summer temperatures coincided with peak electricity demand. To minimise service impacts for nearby residents, State Grid Zhejiang Xinchang County Power Supply Company used a parallel gridconnection method that allowed crews to cut over to new lines with virtually no noticeable outage. To avoid extreme midday heat and further reduce service disruptions, crews began work at 4 am.

ERE Technologies, a global leader in digital mapping and location data, is expanding its collaboration with EROAD, a leading provider of fleet management and telematics solutions, to power EROAD’ s first vehicle-aware navigation application for Oceania. The solution will be available in Australia and New Zealand and is designed to enhance driver safety, fleet efficiency and regulatory compliance. The new solution will be built on the HERE platform, leveraging advanced routing services and truck-specific data.
This deepened partnership reflects both companies’ shared commitment to delivering innovative transport solutions tailored to the needs of commercial vehicle and fleet operators globally. By combining HERE’ s location intelligence with EROAD’ s operational expertise, the partnership aims to improve delivery accuracy, simplify route planning and elevate the day-to-day experience for both drivers and fleet managers.
EROAD’ s new vehicle-aware navigation application draws on key capabilities from HERE WeGo Pro, a mobile-first, professional-grade application that transforms centrally planned routes into real-time, turn-by-turn guidance.
“ Our partnership with EROAD is critical in shaping the future of truck-specific navigation in the region,” said Deon Newman, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Asia Pacific at HERE Technologies.“ With the HERE platform at its core, the vehicle-aware navigation application enables fleets to gain real-time insights, optimised truck routes and critical alerts to prevent incidents like bridge strikes. It also helps operators remain compliant with road regulations, avoid costly fines and reduce operational risks. This level of intelligent navigation empowers fleets to operate more efficiently while enhancing safety and elevating the driver experience.” �
