Henan Provincial Communications Planning & Design Institute Co., Ltd. originated from the Henan Provincial Communications Planning, Survey, and Design Institute, founded in 1964. It is a comprehensive national engineering design and consulting institution.

In recent years, the company has rapidly expanded its business scope and now holds over 20 top-tier qualifications, including:
– Class-A design qualification in the highway industry.
– Class-A design qualifications in the municipal industry (drainage engineering, road engineering, bridge engineering, urban tunnel engineering, rail transit engineering).
– Class-A qualification in architectural engineering design.
– Comprehensive Class-A qualification in engineering survey.
– Class-A qualifications in engineering surveying and mapping (geographic information systems engineering, engineering surveying, real estate surveying).
– Class-A credit qualification in engineering consulting (highways, municipal public utilities, PPP).
– Class-A qualifications in engineering supervision (highway engineering, architectural engineering, municipal public utilities).
– Comprehensive Class-A qualification in highway engineering.

Its business scope essentially covers most infrastructure construction fields.

The company is dedicated to providing engineering consulting services in the planning, consulting, public-private partnerships (PPP), survey, design, research, experimental testing, and supervision of roads, bridges, tunnels, rail transit, underground spaces, civil air defense engineering, water transport, architecture, environment, landscape, intelligent transportation, and logistics. It is a nationally certified high-tech enterprise.

By the end of 2019, the company had completed over 16,500 kilometers of highway survey and design, including nearly 6,000 kilometers of expressways such as the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and the entire Henan section of the Lianyungang-Horgos Expressway. It had also completed over 1,000 kilometers of expressway reconstruction and expansion designs, including those in mountainous and heavily hilly areas. The company designed 538 independent large and extra-large bridges, including 24 Yellow River highway bridges in Henan Province. Additionally, it completed 236 tunnels with a cumulative single-line length exceeding 496 kilometers, supervised over 60 national and provincial key projects such as expressways and large bridges, and conducted road testing on over 8,000 kilometers and bridge testing on over 4,900 bridges.

As one of the earliest Chinese units engaged in international economic and technical cooperation, the company has participated in and undertaken the design, construction supervision, and technical consulting for over 70 major foreign-aid highway projects over the years. Examples include the survey and design of seven bridges and the N8 highway project in Bangladesh, the planning of Cambodia’s national expressway network, the planning of Cambodia’s national trunk road network, the survey, design, and project management of the Third Bridge in Niger, and the survey and design of the York Valley Bridge in Dominica. Its projects span more than 30 countries and regions across Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, strongly supporting China’s foreign aid efforts while promoting the Chinese road and bridge brand overseas. Currently, the company has overseas offices in Cambodia, Laos, and Bangladesh.

The company regards technological innovation as its core and places great emphasis on R&D investment. It has established an engineering technology research and development platform—the Engineering Technology Research Institute—which oversees 14 R&D centers, including:
1 national industry R&D center: the Highway Construction and Maintenance Technology, Materials, and Equipment R&D Center of the transportation industry.
4 provincial engineering research centers: Henan Provincial Smart Highway Big Data Engineering Technology Research Center, Henan Provincial Highway Maintenance Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, Henan Provincial Expressway Maintenance Intelligent Decision-Making Engineering Research Center, and Henan Provincial Bridge Safety Technology Research Center.
2 provincial engineering laboratories: the Tunnel Construction and Operation Safety Technology Engineering Laboratory and the Highway Geological Hazard Prevention and Control Technology Engineering Laboratory.
1 municipal engineering laboratory: the Zhengzhou Key Laboratory of Low-Emission Road Construction and Maintenance Technology.
6 specialized technical R&D centers: Henan Transportation Strategy Development Research Institute, Henan Provincial Transportation Safety Research Center, Road Safety and Intelligent Transportation Technology Research Center, Highway Disaster Prevention and Control Technology Research Center, Tunnel and Underground Engineering Technology Research Center, and Environmental Engineering Technology Research Center.

Additionally, its subsidiary, Zhongyun International, has established the Zhengzhou Academician Workstation for Mine Water Control and Resource Utilization, the Henan Provincial Geological Disaster Prevention and Control Engineering Technology Research Center, the Henan Provincial Enterprise (Zhongyun International) Technology Center, and the Zhengzhou Geological Disaster Prevention and Control Engineering Technology Research Center.

The company possesses nationally leading experience and technology in areas such as expressway reconstruction and expansion, extra-large bridge design, corrugated steel web PC composite box girder bridge technology, highway bridge testing, and geotechnical engineering. It has completed 86 provincial and ministerial-level research projects, with 59 projects, including the *Corrugated Steel Web Prestressed Concrete Composite Box Girder Bridge Technology*, winning provincial and ministerial-level research achievement awards. The company holds 184 patents and 86 software copyrights. It has compiled and published *Design and Application of Corrugated Steel Web PC Composite Box Girder Bridges* and *Technical Guidelines for Setting Guide Signs on Henan Expressways*, as well as the *Series on Key Technologies for Expressway Reconstruction and Expansion* (five volumes) and the *Series on Highway Transportation Emergency Support* (two volumes), which filled domestic gaps. The company participated in compiling national industry standards such as the *Technical Specification for Colored Asphalt Concrete on Urban Roads* and the *Design Guidelines for Expressway Reconstruction and Expansion Projects and Alongside Facilities*. It also led the compilation of Henan provincial standards, including the *Expressway Design Guide* and the *Design Code for Highway Corrugated Steel Web Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Bridges*, and participated in compiling multiple Henan provincial standards such as the *Henan Provincial Building Foundation Survey and Design Code* and the *Henan Provincial Foundation Pit Engineering Technical Code*. The company has received over 55 national awards, including the Zhan Tianyou Award, Luban Award, National Quality Engineering Award, and National Outstanding Engineering Survey and Design Award, as well as over 469 provincial and ministerial awards.
