Abstract: Pinglu Canal is the largest river sea connecting canal in China for hundreds of years. The construction of Pinglu Canal will have a positive and far-reaching impact on regional social and economic development. Based on the construction and operation management practice of Xijiang Golden Waterway, as well as the enlightenment brought by Lingqu Canal and Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, this paper analyzes the core issues and key technical issues that need to be highlighted in the construction of the Pinglu Canal, and puts forward the overall plan for the overall construction of the Pinglu Canal Project, starting with the construction goals, construction guidelines, construction concepts, functional planning, and the principal dimensions of the waterway and ship lock levels. The analysis and research results can provide a technical reference for the final determination of Pinglu Canal construction scheme, and can also provide a reference for the planning and construction of similar canal projects in China in the future.
