IRF Delegation Visits B3 Arch Bridge on Georgia’s North-South Corridor Road Project

Published

on

TBILISI, Georgia, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From September 30 to October 2, 2026, the 4th International Road Federation (IRF) Europe and Central Asia Regional Congress was held in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. On October 2nd, Roads Department of Georgia led a delegation of congress participants on a special visit to the construction site of the B3 Arch Bridge on the Kvesheti–Kobi section of Georgia’s North–South Corridor Highway, undertaken by China Railway 23rd Bureau Group Co., Ltd. The delegation inspected the progress of the project and gained first-hand insight into the capabilities of Chinese enterprises in constructing long-span bridges and implementing standardized project management under the extreme conditions of high-altitude alpine valleys.

The B3 Arch Bridge serves as a key controlling project for the Georgia North-South Corridor Road project. Located in a deep valley of the Caucasus Mountains, the bridge has a total length of 437.875 meters, a main arch net span of 286 meters, and a height difference of 164 meters from the bridge deck to the valley floor. It features a deck-type reinforced concrete separated twin-rib box arch structure, constructed using the cantilever casting method with cable-stayed anchoring. Subjected to extreme environmental challenges—including Beaufort scale 9 strong winds, severe cold down to -20°C, 2-meter-thick snow accumulation, and high-intensity seismic zones—the bridge, upon completion, will become the largest-span reinforced concrete arch bridge in the Caucasus region, with its span ranking among the top worldwide for similar cantilever-cast arch bridges.

During the inspection, the project team of China Railway 23rd Bureau Group delivered a detailed report to the accompanying delegates on core management measures and technical achievements. These included the implementation of European standards, FIDIC contract management, high-precision closure control for the twin-rib main arch, intelligent monitoring, and wind tunnel test verification. The delegation closely inspected and inquired about key structural components, such as the main arch ring construction, anchoring system, and cable hoisting system. They engaged in in-depth exchanges with the Chinese technical team on critical topics, including main arch alignment and stress control, construction procedures, winter construction safety assurance, full-lifecycle maintenance, and follow-up construction organization. The delegation representative stated that the North-South Corridor Road is one of the most vital transportation infrastructure projects in Georgia’s national development strategy, playing a decisive role in strengthening the country’s status as an Eurasian transit hub. As the most technically challenging controlling project along the entire route, the B3 Arch Bridge fully demonstrates the capability of Chinese enterprises in building large-scale bridges under complex geological and extreme climatic conditions. Strictly adhering to European technical specifications and the FIDIC management system, the project meets world-class standards in quality control, environmental protection, and localized employment, setting a new benchmark for highway and bridge construction in Georgia and across the broader Central Asia–Caucasus region.

 Han Shuai, project manager of the China Railway 23rd Bureau Co., Ltd. North–South Corridor Road Project, said that the company would take this visit by the IRF delegation as an opportunity to continue pursuing its overseas business philosophy of “Quality Delivery, Safety First, Standards Alignment and Local Integration.” The project team will make every effort to achieve key milestones, including the closure of the B3 main arch in 2026, and develop the project into a model of infrastructure cooperation between China and Georgia and a landmark project for bridge construction in high-altitude mountainous regions under the Belt and Road Initiative.

As a vivid embodiment of the theme of this year’s IRF Congress—”Resilient, Intelligent and Safe Roads Driving Sustainable Growth”—the site visit to the B3 Arch Bridge brought delegates from conference halls to the front lines of project construction, transforming conceptual discussions into first-hand evidence from an actual engineering project. The bridge spans not only the deep valleys of the Caucasus, but also represents a new level of mutual trust and cooperation between China, Europe and Central Asia in the field of transportation infrastructure.

Print Banners NYC delivered custom, glare-free stretch fabric backdrops for a high-level UNGA Women Empowerment in Cybersecurity summit, providing rapid production, secure delivery, and on-time installation despite strict Manhattan security restrictions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading NYC-based rush printing experts successfully delivered custom stretch fabric displays for global leaders during the United Nations General Assembly week. The High-Level Convening on Women Empowerment in Cybersecurity was jointly hosted by UN Women, the Global Cybersecurity Forum, and the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on September 23, 2026. Such high-profile events and diplomatic summits leave zero room for error and Print Banners NYC lived up to the challenge.

As NYC’s ultimate rush order specialist, we handle last-minute printing so you can order today and receive today. Honestly, we print everything except dollar bills.

Focus on Print Quality

Print Banners NYC put up glare-free, wrinkle-free displays of 20×10 ft and 10×8 ft, with precise color and high contrast to create the perfect backdrop for delegates. When world leaders speak, flash photography is bound to happen, and this is the true test of a backdrop. Print Banner NYC’s visuals came out sharp and crisp throughout the event as the world watched HD broadcast. The custom blue, multi-agency backdrop defined the summit’s visual presentation as colors did not bleed or blur despite all the exposure to heat and light.

The team used polyester banners to get the crisp look with high-tension installation. The fabric and frame for such banners are designed for rapid assembly, which is crucial at such events. A matte finish was chosen because it absorbs light to prevent flash glare from press photo lines.

“In global diplomacy, event deadlines are stringent, and quality cannot be compromised,” said Mohamad Faroqui, Founder of Print Banners NYC. “As NYC’s ultimate rush order specialist, we handle last-minute printing so you can order today and receive today. Honestly, we print everything except dollar bills,” Faroqui added.

Navigating UNGA Security Zones

Despite strict security zones across Manhattan, the Print Banners NYC team managed logistics exceptionally well. The team navigated street closures, NYPD checkpoints, and strict venue security clearances, demonstrating commitment to timely delivery and flawless installation. Truly, a last-minute printing specialist.

An integrated pipeline of in-house design finalization and delivery to the venue with the installation team helped with timely completion of the tasks. Print Banners NYC team arrived at the venue ready to set up the banners on time before the event started.

Kase and Perelel Celebrate Six Years of Growth

Kase and Perelel mark six years of delivering exceptional customer experiences

FONTANA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kase, a nationwide provider of omnichannel fulfillment solutions, and Perelel, the OB/GYN-founded supplement company, are celebrating six years of partnership.

“Changing fulfillment providers is one of the most challenging and costly transitions a brand can face,” said Peter Davis, President of Kase. “In six years of growth, Perelel has never had to make that change. A long-term partnership means the operation grows with the business and its changing needs.”

Since selecting Kase as its first third-party logistics provider in 2020, Perelel has expanded across multiple fulfillment locations and channels, with Kase supporting Amazon FBA preparation, EDI-enabled wholesale, lot-level reporting, and custom kitting. The brand’s fulfillment is closely tied to customer trust, serving women during time-sensitive health stages, when the right product needs to arrive accurately and consistently. 

“Our partnership with Kase is not stagnant. It’s constantly growing as we’re growing, and they are stepping up to the plate to meet us where we need to be met. We feel and see that Kase values us as a customer,” said Mora Robert, Operations Associate Manager at Perelel.

Across Perelel’s fulfillment network, Kase has delivered 99.95% order accuracy, exceeded same-day shipping targets by 10%, and supported 2,000+% growth over six years. Multi-node fulfillment helps Perelel reach its audience faster, EDI reduces manual work for wholesale orders, and lot-level visibility allows the team to connect customer feedback to specific product lots.

The recent Perelel x Coterie collaboration is one example of the partnership in action. For the limited-edition bundle, Kase coordinated products from multiple vendors, proactively pre-kitting components. More than 75 kits were ready to ship the same day as launch, and the collaboration sold out within 72 hours.

“That is what long-term partnerships with best-in-class companies like Perelel buy you,” said Davis. “Our team knew what the bundle required before the order landed, quickly built a repeatable process around it, and pre-kitted the components so nothing waited on us at launch.” 

The full story of the Kase and Perelel partnership, including the teams, technology, and operational practices supporting Perelel’s growth, is available in the case study, “Built for Every Stage of Growth,” at https://kase.com/customer-stories/perelel-fulfillment-case-study/.

Kase delivers direct-to-consumer, retail, and omnichannel fulfillment powered by proprietary technology that provides real-time order tracking, order routing, inventory control, and parcel rate selection. Kase helps brands keep their promises with every order.
