Recently, the first core tower of the integrated project for high-value downstream tetra-carbon products (Phase I), operated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Binhua Group, was successfully hoisted into place. The project is located in the Binzhou Lingang Chemical Industry Park of the Beihai Economic Development Zone. The successful installation of the core equipment marks an acceleration in the construction of Phase 1 of this project, as it enters a new critical stage. The tower that has been installed this time is the \"core equipment\" of the 100,000 tons per year isobutylene plant; it stands 43.35 meters tall and weighs around 40 tons. According to Zhang Chao, head of the Safety and Quality Department at Binzhou Chemical Industry Group’s Engineering Company, there are a total of 9 large-scale towers similar to this one, all of which were designed and manufactured independently by Binzhou Chemical. It is planned to complete the installation of all these large towers within one month. It is worth noting that before lifting the large tower, the project carries out tasks such as installing platforms attached to the tower, laying pipelines, and applying insulation on the ground, before proceeding with the overall lifting. This approach not only reduces the workload of working at heights and lowers safety risks, but also effectively shortens the construction period. To ensure lifting precision, the project team developed a scientific plan, utilizing a large crawler crane for the main lifting task and auxiliary cranes to work in conjunction. Throughout this process, the staff overcame the dual challenges posed by limited space and high temperatures, and ultimately achieved a high level of precision in positioning the tower, with a verticality deviation of ≤0.3‰ – a precision that far exceeds the requirements set by industry standards. At the same time, the steel structure of this project is prefabricated in a factory and installed on-site, which greatly improves the quality of fabrication and construction efficiency.
