The Shougang Ski Jump is the world's first ski jump built in the central urban area. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, and with industrial-style buildings as the background, the scene of athletes competing and competing spreads all over the place in an instant, and every frame will be frozen into a wonderful picture in history.
The four 70-meter-high cooling towers with hyperbolic shapes adjacent to the big jump platform have become the backdrop for the big jump platform competition, and their unique appearance quickly became the focus of media cameras. The cooling towers are supporting equipment for the former Shougang Power Plant. The earliest of the four cooling towers was built in 1978, and the latest was built in 1991. They were in operation until the main steel process in the old Shougang plant was shut down. The former Shougang Power Plant used coal-fired, blast furnace pressure difference, dry coke quenching and other power generation processes commonly used in steel plants. The main function of the cooling tower is to complete the heat exchange between hot water and air, reduce the temperature of circulating water, and provide sufficient cooling water for power generation in the power plant.
In order to deeply explore the cultural value of the industrial heritage in the park and build the Olympic competition venues at a high level, Shougang Group conducted a lot of research on the site conditions, needs during the games, and post-game use, and carried out multiple rounds of planning plans, and finally formed a plan for review. After the main steel process of the old Shougang plant was shut down, the four cooling towers were protected as characteristic landmarks of the plant. The reinforced cooling towers retain the shocking industrial characteristic space, and new functions can be implanted in the later stage to inject new artistic vitality.
