The methanol production project using electric furnace exhaust gas in Inner Mongolia Ruizhi has been on hold since 2019; at the beginning of this year, the project team entered the site at the owner’s request to initiate work on resuming the project. Due to the long period of project suspension, the resumption of work requires addressing two main issues first: one is ensuring that the funds from the owner are available, and the other is getting the construction workers from the subcontractors back on site. Faced with numerous challenges such as a large scale of work, heavy tasks, tight deadlines, and harsh weather conditions, project manager Wu Benlun thought carefully and took deliberate action to coordinate the preparations for resuming the construction work. First, organize the on-site management staff to prepare a secondary overall construction schedule. Based on this schedule, urge the professionals in charge of design to produce the necessary drawings as soon as possible. At the same time, work actively with the client to ensure that the funds are available, and prompt the procurement department to purchase the equipment and materials needed. Coordinate with all subcontractors so that their workers and machinery can be sent to the site as soon as possible to start working on the project. Through the joint efforts of all parties involved in the project, the Ruizhi project resumed operations officially at the beginning of April this year. To ensure the smooth progress of the project and the successful completion of the first road construction milestone by the end of June, the project management team put the overall interests first, giving up the opportunity to spend the May Day holiday with their families. They stayed at the construction site, working hard to plan meticulously, organize tasks scientifically, manage operations carefully, and make sound arrangements, thereby ensuring that the project progresses as scheduled and that the quality meets the set standards. All construction units have provided full cooperation, keeping pace with the project team’s schedule. They have organized their workers to work diligently and overtime, focusing on ensuring safety and quality while meeting deadlines and advancing progress. The control of safety and quality in the project is orderly, and the construction progress is satisfactory. The owner and supervisor highly praised the project for successfully achieving the first road milestone target on June 30. The successful achievement of the first node goal boosted morale and inspired everyone; all team members set out to pursue the subsequent established goals. In order to achieve the construction milestones efficiently, the construction subcontractors continue to uphold the spirit of \"overcoming difficulties and facing challenges head-on\". They race against time and battle against natural elements, striving to advance the project construction with maximum effort, at the fastest pace, and to the highest standards. During the construction of the accident pool, all members of the project team worked day and night, accelerating progress without pause to ensure continuity in operations at the construction site. Under the leadership of project manager Takehito Takeda, and with the strong support of the client and supervisors as well as the active cooperation of the construction subcontractors, the Suizhi project team is confident that it can achieve the planned goals for the Suizhi project on time, while ensuring quality, quantity, and safety. Together, they will strive to turn this project into a high-quality, innovative, and exemplary project that meets all standards, thus satisfying the company’s expectations and fulfilling the client’s requirements.
