On November 14, Yueneng Chemical Company held a meeting to advance the construction of the project aimed at filling in gaps and completing the first phase of the initiative. The meeting aims to further unify thinking and boost enthusiasm, with the goal of creating high-quality projects, to advance project construction comprehensively. The meeting called for thorough implementation of all safety and quality measures necessary for continuous construction in winter, as well as effective follow-through on the matters agreed upon by Cao Dequan, the chairman of Yueneng Chemical Company, and various general contractors at the high-level meeting. The general manager of Yulin Energy Chemical Company attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Relevant company leaders, the heads of the task forces responsible for filling in gaps, the managers of various centers and departments, as well as the leaders of the general contractors and supervision units were also present at the meeting, which was chaired by the company’s deputy general manager, Liu Sheng. Before the meeting, the responsible persons of various general contractors were organized to visit the project site in order to understand the progress of the project and learn from the good practices in on-site construction management. At the meeting, each general contractor reported on the progress of the project, the existing problems, and the plans for subsequent work. The relevant departments of the company provided answers to the issues that required coordination on the part of the general contractors ； Zhang Genquan, project director of the Fill-in and Improvement Engineering Management Company, provided a detailed analysis of the problems that arose during the project construction process and offered his suggestions. Shen Youcai, the company’s deputy general manager and head of the project completion command team, provided comments on the main issues that have arisen during the project’s progress from its initiation to the present. He reiterated the key milestones and made arrangements for the subsequent construction work and the overall progress of the project ； A representative from Daqing Petrochemical Engineering Company delivered a speech for exchange, while representatives from the engineering companies in Beijing, Luoyang, and Ningbo each made statements. Finally, the general manager of Yulin Energy Chemical Company shared his thoughts on building high-quality projects and accelerating the progress of project construction, put forward suggestions, and issued specific requirements. Li Wei said in his speech that this project serves as a bridge and link between Yueneng Chemical and various general contractors. It is precisely because of the project construction that Yueneng Chemical has the opportunity to sit together with various entrepreneurs. It is also through this connection that the interests related to the development of our respective companies are closely linked, enabling us to become a community with shared interests throughout this project implementation process. Secondly, project construction is a big stage. For each of you general contractors, it is also an arena, and even more so, a runway. The filling and improvement project consists of 11 bid sections, involving 6 general contractors, who all showcase their capabilities on this platform. At present, the construction of this project has just begun. Through on-site visits, those who have been there should already be aware of the gaps, and I hope everyone will acknowledge these shortcomings. I am confident that the project to fill in the gaps will be completed on schedule, as our company carefully selected the general contractor from among the best candidates – you are all leaders in your respective fields within the industry. I hope everyone will put themselves in the owners’ shoes, fulfill their obligations as stipulated in the contract, and work according to the milestones and requirements we have set, so as to create a high-quality project. The general manager of the project construction company put forward four requirements on how to further improve project development: first, work together to create high-quality projects. From the outset of project preparation, we clearly set the overall goal of building a high-quality project for these remediation works. Why build high-quality projects? The significance lies in the fact that, based on the good economic, social, and environmental benefits achieved by the first phase of the Yulin Energy and Chemical project, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Government have called for enhancing the demonstration effect of the comprehensive utilization project for coal, oil, and gas resources in Jingbian. The project to fill in gaps and make up deficiencies is an important measure to implement the directives of the province’s ** authorities ； Secondly, Yanchang Petroleum is in a critical period of industrial transformation and upgrading, and this is also an important project for implementing the \"one core, two wings\" strategic framework ； Thirdly, Yueneng Chemical’s polyolefin products will have to compete in an increasingly fierce market environment; without high-quality production processes, it will be difficult to ensure the production of high-performance products in the future. Therefore, creating high-quality projects is also necessary to enhance core competitiveness and lay a solid foundation for sustainable development. Therefore, everyone must fully recognize the great significance of these filling and completion projects, and remain determined to build high-quality projects. Second, focus on design and procurement to promote the efficient progress of projects. Design and procurement work are the foundation and prerequisite for the rapid progress of a project. Judging from the current progress of work, the design and procurement for some projects are significantly behind schedule. To this end, all general contractors must quickly become familiar with and understand the basic design documents, strictly adhere to the project’s unified regulations, make full use of the available time this winter and next spring, focus on carrying out detailed design work, refine specific objectives, and ensure that the progress of design work meets the needs of on-site construction, thereby creating conditions for further progress in the project in the coming year. In addition, it is necessary to coordinate and carry out project procurement effectively. Yanchang Petroleum Group requires Yueneng Chemical to strive to complete investments of 3 billion yuan this year, which represents considerable pressure ； To achieve the goals, based on past progress, the key step is procurement. All general contractors must pay close attention to the delivery of long-cycle equipment and the procurement processes under framework agreements. They should keep track of the equipment manufacturing progress in a timely manner, plan ahead for tasks such as urging deliveries and arranging transportation, and coordinate promptly to resolve any issues that arise, ensuring that critical and essential equipment arrives on time. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly enforce the requirements for supplier qualification, implement the approval systems for short- and long-list suppliers, and control procurement quality at the source by focusing on key stages such as manufacturing, supervision during production, and inspection, in order to create favorable conditions for on-site construction. Third, optimize construction organization to improve on-site management levels. Li Wei said that, based on the current progress of the project, the coordination among the various general contractors is not adequate; some contractors are slow to act, and there are many issues with on-site management. At the same time, according to the milestones determined in the high-level coordination meetings, the effective construction period for the project is very short – the thermal power plant has only a little over 300 days, while the LDPE/EVA plant has just around 600 days left. Time is extremely tight, yet the tasks involved in building the project remain very challenging. Each general contractor must, in line with the milestone targets set by the owner, identify existing problems and actively pinpoint the gaps; effective measures should be taken to ensure progress of high quality. Fourth, strengthen overall coordination to continuously build a united force for tackling challenges. Project management for filling and leveling projects is rather special; due to the large number of participating entities, the variety of specialties involved, and the numerous work stages, it encompasses aspects such as general contracting, subcontracting, supervision, and third-party testing. This requires a high level of organization, coordination, and cooperation, which is why an efficient coordination and communication mechanism must be established. The command center should play a role in coordinating the project as a whole, hold regular meetings to advance the project, enhance coordination among different teams involved, provide necessary support services, convey work-related information in a timely manner, resolve issues that arise promptly, and correct any deviations in the project’s progress. In this way, it can ensure that the efforts of the general contractor, suppliers, and project management company work together effectively. The general manager of the company hopes that all parties involved in the project will take this meeting as an opportunity to focus closely on the established goals and tasks, work closely together and coordinate effectively, continuously improve management levels, accelerate the construction progress, strive to set a benchmark in the industry, and make positive contributions to the early completion and operation of the project!
