Recently, the China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd. The company bid for British tidal lagoon in Swansea Tidal Power Plant project success. Britain Swansea bay tidal lagoon power plant project as a world's first tidal lagoon power plant project has been great concern, even more successful Chinese enterprises UK flag in the enterprise access to important infrastructure sectors, also attracted major media attention on Chinese enterprises to participate in the advantages of the project, the significance and the Sino-British cooperation in the development of tidal energy future prospects and other issues, the British company's chief executive tidal lagoon power station Officer Mark Sherlock recently accepted << Economic Times >> reporter's interview.

The project contract amount of Chinese enterprises won the bid for £ 300 million, it is expected to begin construction in the spring next year, after the completion of 120 years to provide clean power resources for 155,000 households. The reason comes to choosing Chinese enterprises to participate in this project, Sherlock said that if Prime Minister David Cameron said that co-operation between the two countries in terms of development model for a 'win-win' Chinese companies in the bidding stage showcasing its architectural design, project management, cost control and local management aspects The core competitive advantage. Sherlock lived in China I also work, based on his own experience, he is highly recognized Chinese enterprises superb construction and project completion level. He said that in the face of budget and schedule two restrictions, China enterprise competitive advantage in the global market is very obvious.

Sherlock said the project as the world's first large-scale tidal lagoon power projects, with a great demonstration of significance. Chinese enterprises the main project contractor, the British and Chinese companies to develop important infrastructure projects, further enhancing the symbolic significance of the project .

More importantly, the Chinese enterprises in the UK infrastructure industry will produce driving effect. Sherlock said Chinese enterprises to enter the United Kingdom for the development of tidal energy infrastructure industry will be a tremendous boost.
