Beijiao West railway station (Chinese: 北滘西站; pinyin: Běijiàoxī Zhàn; Jyutping: Bak1gaau3 Sai1 Zaam6) is a railway station in Shunde District, Guangdong, China, located near Tanzhou Convention and Exhibition Center. The station opened on May 26, 2024, and is operated by Guangdong Intercity Railway Operation Co., Ltd.[1][2]

Features

The station is an elevated three-storey side platformed station, with the first floor being the surface parking lot, the second floor being the concourse, and the third floor being the platform floor, and there are overpasses on the north and south sides of the station.[3] The façade of the station building adopts yellow stripes and sky blue waves, showing creativity and vitality; The interior design combines diamond and hexagonal elements to highlight the sense of modern technology.[4]

Interchanges

The station connects to Beijiao West Railway Station, a nearby metro station served by Line 3 of Foshan Metro, via an out-of-station interchange (OSI).[5][6]

Exits

The station has 4 exits on its north and south side. Currently, only Exits B1 and B2 on the south side are open.[7]

Incident

At about 8:50 a.m. on May 29, 2019, the steel roof of the station hall floor of the station collapsed, resulting in injuries to 7 workers who were carrying out waterproof layer construction on the roof, and a direct economic loss of about 2 million yuan. According to the post-investigation report, the design value of the permanent load of the roof of the station hall is 1.45kN/m smaller than the actual permanent load, resulting in the bearing capacity and deformation of the roof steel girder, steel girder assembly node, and steel purlin cannot meet the requirements of the current standard for structural safety, and it is only in an unstable state that may collapse at any time under the action of its own weight, and the collapse eventually occurs due to the construction of the roof waterproof layer.[3]
