Let’s discuss which chemical engineering construction firms are relatively reputable at present, in terms of quality, schedule, safety, site management, and material handling.
Sinopec Group’s Tenth Construction Company – pretty good
They are all hired migrant workers, more or less!
Actually, all companies are more or less the same; it depends on the competence of the project manager assigned. The quality of construction is also related to factors such as the owner’s management and funding. The better chemical construction companies include Chemical Construction No. 2, Chemical Construction No. 3, Chemical Construction No. 6, and Chemical Construction No. 11.
I believe that chemical construction companies are not on the same level as Sinopec Construction Engineering Company and CNPC Construction Engineering Company! What do you think?
Sinopec’s 10th Construction Company, Ningbo Engineering Company (formerly the 3rd Company) and the 4th Company; CNPC’s 1st Construction Company and Jilin Chemical Construction Company
Sinopec’s chemical construction teams include: CNPC First Construction Company (referred to as the top team in the refining and chemical industry), CNPC Sixth Construction Company (which has seen a significant boost in strength thanks to its affiliation with the Global Research Institute), and CNPC Seventh Construction Company (which has the best management system). Jilin Chemical Construction Company belongs to China National Chemical Industry Corporation; its teams include Sinochem Second Construction Company, Fourth Construction Company, Tenth Construction Company, Eleventh Construction Company, etc., among which the Eleventh Construction Company is the best. Sinopec’s teams include Second Construction Company, Tenth Construction Company, and Fourth Construction Company (which are the strongest)
If the professional team of CNPC First Construction wants to be excellent, it must avoid dealing with the version of CNPC First Construction that relies on migrant workers – it’s extremely frustrating!
The companies that can be nominated on it are all strong contenders. But for a specific project, it depends on the authority of the assigned project manager and the resources he or she can mobilize. On the downside in the construction industry, teams are now mostly formed through collaborations, leading to poor management, and all major companies are similar in this regard. The level of the installation team depends on which resources the project manager can draw upon from the company; there are significant differences in terms of personnel and equipment among various branches, and branches that were established as a result of restructuring are in a poor situation.
To be honest, among Sinopec 10th Construction Company, Sinopec 2nd Construction Company, Sinochem 2nd Chemical Construction Company, and Sinochem 12th Chemical Construction Company – all of which I have worked with – none of them carried out the installation in full compliance with the contract and technical specifications. In other words, none of them met the standards required by me as a picky client, nor did they follow the installation plans they themselves proposed. To be honest, there are many reasons for this. For example, we have too many design changes, payments for project progress are not made on time, our managers demand that the work be completed too quickly, and the owner’s own construction organization lacks clear division of responsibilities. Wait. Regarding this issue, the poster should conduct thorough research, as well as consider their own expectations and the skill level of the management team in their company. If their capabilities are sufficient, with clear divisions of labor and defined responsibilities, then even the worst construction teams can be managed effectively under their supervision. Additionally, technical contracts must be drawn up in detail and accurately; this is crucial for a construction company, both in terms of technology, project progress, and quality, and it also serves as the basic basis for the owner and supervisors. In short, there are many factors. I think you shouldn’t judge whether a installation company is good or bad based on someone’s one-sided opinion. That’s too general. I’m afraid no one can answer the question of advising you.
Sinopec and CNPC have a monopolistic system in terms of ownership; there are many large-scale devices used in projects, so the construction equipment is of high quality. The contracting costs are also high, and employee benefits are excellent. Sinochem Construction was established early and faced heavy burdens; unfortunately, with the dissolution of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, it became like a child without a mother. By the late 1980s it started taking on projects everywhere, and several struggling companies competed fiercely with each other, leading to difficult circumstances for them. In recent years, thanks to the favorable economic situation, most of them have fared fairly well. Some chemical construction companies have even gone abroad; although it’s Africa, they have managed to expand their operations outside.
