Construction of the Yujiapu high-speed railway station in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, the world's largest and deepest underground station, was completed with control delivered to the Beijing Railway Administration on August 8, 2015.

The station is also the first monolayer long-span steel structure with a latticed dome in the world.

The shell-shaped dome was built with a steel and membrane-integrated structure, which allows passengers to see views 360 degrees around.
