The successful completion of the hoisting task for the vault block of Tank No. 2 at Fujian LNG Project Department

Thread Content

On July 11, with a clear whistle from the crane operator, the last vault piece of Tank No. 2 was accurately placed in place, marking the successful completion of the vault piece lifting operations at the Fujian LNG receiving station project after 6.5 days of hard work. This achievement represented a breakthrough at a key stage of the project, laying a crucial foundation for the subsequent lifting of the first tank. Faced with the severe typhoons that have recently hit the coast of Fujian as well as the persistent heavy rainfall, this lifting operation was nothing short of a race against time; it was a battle that required full cooperation and mutual support from everyone at the construction site. The owner unit made overall arrangements, the PMT team provided on-site leadership, the supervision unit ensured strict control over safety and quality standards and remained at the site regardless of weather conditions, the general contractor optimized the technical solutions and strengthened resource allocation, and all teams worked closely together in a coordinated manner to carry out their tasks effectively. As a result, this milestone was achieved safely and efficiently, demonstrating the power of a united team and the spirit of determination needed to overcome challenges. Face the challenges head-on to ensure on-time completion. The project team seized the brief \"window of opportunity\" that arose between typhoons, adjusted the construction schedule, and implemented thorough measures to protect against wind and rain – such as strengthening lifting equipment, adding anti-slip facilities, and monitoring wind speeds in real time. By doing so, they were able to overcome the adverse effects of the harsh weather conditions, completing the installation of all 606 tons of arch blocks in just 6.5 days, thus minimizing the impact of the extreme weather. By carefully planning the lifting sequence, optimizing the movement process of the work area, and enabling close coordination between exterior wall construction and lifting operations, the project team reduced the impact time of the vault lifting on the critical path of exterior wall construction from the originally planned 14 days to less than 2 days. This significant breakthrough greatly reduced the overall project duration, securing valuable time for subsequent stages. The completion of the hoisting of the arch roof of the first storage tank in this project is of great significance. It not only demonstrates the project team’s ability to organize construction in complex environments as well as their technical expertise, but it also greatly boosts the morale of all those involved in the project. Successfully completing this key milestone reflects the project team’s commitment to ensuring safety, quality, and timely delivery. Taking this milestone as an opportunity, the project team is seizing the moment; with high morale among all members, they are committing themselves fully to the next phase of work, steadily moving toward the ultimate successful operation of the project.
