Another design institute’s qualifications were revoked and many people were punished! The reasons are very simple. The general plan is unreasonable, the fire separation distance is insufficient, and windows are installed in rooms close to explosion hazards. The most important thing is that the construction unit did not complete the construction according to the drawings, but the design institute participated in the violation and agreed to the completion acceptance. Accident replay: At 18:42:33 on July 12, 2018, a major explosion and fire occurred at Yibin Hengda Technology Co., Ltd. located in Yangchun Industrial Park, Jiang'an County, Yibin City, resulting in 19 deaths, 12 injuries, and direct economic losses of more than 41.42 million yuan.
One of the indirect causes of the accident: The design and construction of the factory building violates laws and regulations. Randomly change the general layout design, change the use function of the warehouse, and expand the storage scale of hazardous chemicals and other chemical raw materials ; Changing the design and production varieties, equipment layout and quantity without authorization, adjusting the workshop floor height, and failing to perform design-related change procedures ; Equipment selection and installation, pipeline routing and process piping are all determined based on the experience of the company's personnel, and construction is organized without rechecking or changing the design. ; Failure to entrust qualified supervision units to carry out equipment and pipeline installation supervision ; The completion acceptance of construction projects was organized without the conditions for acceptance. When the fire resistance level of 11 buildings did not reach Level 2 and basically no anti-corrosion was carried out, the completion acceptance of building construction projects was organized and carried out on its own in violation of regulations. Punishment on design institute: The Luzhou Municipal Urban Management Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau is instructed to impose maximum fines on Luzhou Lutianhua Chemical Design Co., Ltd. and the company's directly responsible managers and other responsible personnel in accordance with the law, and is ordered to suspend operations for half a year for rectification. The Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is instructed to impose administrative penalties of revoking chemical engineering design qualifications.
The crime of the design institute: not strictly enforced * * In compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations and standards, the basic information provided by the construction unit was not carefully evaluated and analyzed, and the safety facility design and construction drawing design issued did not comply with the mandatory standards for engineering construction. ; The special article on safety facility design has insufficient basis for preparation. The project was designed without conducting a safety risk assessment, and the HAZOP analysis and review were not strict, and the reasons for the analysis and the recommended measures did not completely match. ; The general layout of the plant is unreasonable. The general layout of the plant area is not designed in accordance with the "Fire Protection Code for Design of Petrochemical Enterprises" (GB50160-2008). The second workshop of the highly dangerous nitrification unit is placed between the first and third workshops, and effective fire and explosion-proof isolation measures are not considered. The fire protection distance between the analysis room and the second workshop is insufficient, and glass windows are designed facing the side of equipment with fire and explosion risks. ; No control room and refrigeration station system design has been carried out ; Participate in and agree to the completion acceptance of the construction project in violation of regulations.

Of course, it is understandable that some designs will be punished if they are not designed in full compliance with the specifications. However, it is also critical to participate in and agree to the completion acceptance of the construction project in violation of regulations. If the owner and the construction unit act recklessly and fail to construct according to the drawings, and invite the design institute for acceptance, and the design institute agrees, it is a serious crime. Judging from the investigation report, the design of the project was changed during the construction process, and the modifications were made by the construction unit themselves without going through the design institute. This may also be because the design institute does not agree to the modification, because this modification completely overturns the product, raw materials and process, which means that the original design is basically unusable and needs to be redesigned. Of course, at this time, if the design institute is required to redesign and pay corresponding fees, the design unit should be able to do it. In actual life, owners are often unwilling to increase design fees or the increase is very small. At this time, the design institute will turn a blind eye. If construction is not carried out in accordance with the design, the design unit generally has no right to manage this. Since the construction is not carried out according to your drawings, why are the completed drawings still issued? Why are you participating in the completion acceptance inspection?
Has the design institute been restructured? Maybe it has been acquired.
“It is a big mistake to casually agree to the completion acceptance! ”, the keyword "casual" has a profound meaning. It seems casual, but it is actually done carefully: lol
The design institute has committed its own crime and cannot survive. They risk their lives for money.
As a design institute, we still need to have the most basic professional qualities. Some things are the bottom line that should be adhered to. It should be said that it is a red line and cannot be touched, because it is a trivial matter to hold people accountable for an accident, and human life cannot be repaired. Therefore, change is a very important part of the conflict between on-site construction and design drawings. Doing a good job in change review and archiving management can effectively avoid major accidents in the later period.
