The advanced light source (ALS) R&T platform project, engineered by CEEDI, recently held the main structural capping ceremony on the site in Beijing Huairou Yanxi Industrial Development Zone. Mr. An Zhixing, the Vice President of CEEDI, was invited to attend the ceremony together with relevant CEEDI staffs.

The advanced light source (ALS) R&T platform project, located in the Science Town in Huirou, Beijing, is a critical accessory device of the high energy synchrotron radiation source project participated by CEEDI. The project has been built closely relating to a series of high level light source device projects in China’s 13^th Five-Year Plan Period, carrying out some prospective and systematic studies and providing strong technical support and assurance to the construction, operation and development of ALS. The project lasted one and a half year from the engineering to the construction. During the period, CEEDI engineers pulled together with the experts of the Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS, elaborated the design, overcame difficulties, and jointly promoted the smooth proceeding of the project. The successful implementation of this project will definitely lay a solid foundation for CEEDI to reach a new high in hi-tech building design.
