On June 13, the intermediate handover of the external pipeline works for the annual 600,000-ton caprolactam production facility was completed as part of the relocation, upgrading, and transformation project at Baling Petrochemical, laying a foundation for the complete completion of the project and its smooth commissioning. At the handover ceremony held on that day, representatives from the six parties involved in the project – construction, production, design, construction management, supervision, and quality control – jointly signed the overall project handover certificate. The external pipeline project for this facility was constructed by Sinopec Nanjing Engineering Company. It involves the construction of 17 pipe corridors, 805 axis points, as well as longitudinal and transverse installations covering an area of 1.5 square kilometers and a length of 6.05 kilometers. There are 1,496 main framework columns and 3,758 main framework beams. In total, 268 kilometers of process pipelines and utility pipelines were built, along with 11,000 tons of steel structures and 85,500 steel components. The area requiring anti-corrosion treatment is approximately 245,000 square meters, while the insulated volume is about 8,900 cubic meters. All the external pipelines in the plant are linear projects, featuring wide working areas, numerous overlapping tasks, and high construction difficulties. Since the commencement of the outer pipe project on October 8, 2021, all parties involved have remained focused on their goals, overcoming the adverse effects caused by recurring outbreaks of the pandemic and extreme weather conditions. By working closely together and coordinating effectively, they have adhered to the principle of \"being one family with one heart, one goal, and one shared effort,\" and have embraced the spirit of dedication characterized by working \"5+2,\" day and night, with work taking place at the site during the day and in meeting rooms at night, thus ensuring the safe progress of the project.
