At 7 a.m. on March 4th, the construction site of the 50,000-ton petrochemical terminal project at Beihai Refining and Chemical Industry in Tieshangang (coastal) Industrial Zone, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was in full swing – construction workers were working at full pace in their respective positions, and the roar of equipment such as truck cranes and grab ships created a vibrant ‘melody of progress’ for the construction work. “Taking advantage of the cool morning, the workers are carrying out the work of binding rebar for the panels and longitudinal beams of the first structural section at the dock. ”Cai Zhengjiang, the leader of the construction team, directed the workers to work in an orderly manner while explaining that with all 58 panels installed, the first structural section of the dock began to take shape. The 50,000-ton petrochemical terminal project at Sinopec Beihai Refining & Chemical Complex was constructed by CCCC Third Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd. The project is located at Berth No. 30 in the Zhuoluo operation area of the Xigang Port section of Beihai Port, with a total shoreline length of 325 meters. The terminal platform is 20 meters wide, and its elevation is 8.0 meters. The total investment for this project amounts to 388,131,900 yuan. The terminal is designed for handling mainly crude oil, refined products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), and liquid chemicals, with an annual designed capacity of 3.51 million tons. Since construction began in July 2024, the overall progress of the project has been steady. The main construction of the dock is expected to be completed by the end of March this year. Specifically, the construction of the first structural section is planned to be finished on March 8, the second structural section on March 18, and the third structural section on March 30. Subsequently, works will be carried out on facilities such as approach tunnels, roads, oil and gas recovery systems, oil, gas, water, and electricity pipelines, as well as auxiliary buildings. “Since the beginning of the year, we have gone all out to seize the springtime opportunity, making full use of the available working periods to accelerate progress. ”Yao Zui, deputy manager of the 50,000-ton petrochemical terminal project at Sinopec Beihai Refining & Chemical Complex, explained. Since the port project features a continuous berthing platform, as many as 336 prefabricated components are required for this platform. The construction period for the main structure of the port is only 380 days. To cope with such a short timeline and intense workload, the project team devised a strategy to switch from underwater construction to land-based construction, with 80 workers and supervisors working in shifts on site every day ； At the same time, a \"white + black\" construction method is adopted. At the peak of construction, 4 cranes and 7 boats were working simultaneously; the main part of the dock is expected to be completed by March this year, 4 months ahead of the original schedule.
