On March 12, with the completion of the lifting operation of the final wall panel for the second phase of Hainan Commercial Storage’s crude oil storage tank project, all 8 crude oil storage tanks with a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters each were completed, thus marking the successful achievement of an important milestone in this project. It is reported that since the start of the construction project, the employees involved have always upheld the principle of safe production. By employing a dual strategy of human oversight and technical safeguards, they have managed to achieve 290 consecutive days without any safety incidents ； During the construction process, a comprehensive safety responsibility system is actively implemented, regular specialized training and emergency evacuation drills are carried out, and key stages are monitored in real time to ensure that any potential hazards are addressed promptly ； The establishment of a \"Safety Star\" selection mechanism has created a strong safety culture atmosphere. In terms of project quality control, the project team monitors the entire process, from the arrival of construction materials to the completion of construction inspections. By optimizing construction plans through technical approaches, they ensured that the acceptance rate for the main structural elements of the project was 100% from the first attempt. Faced with the challenges of a tight schedule and heavy workload, all employees involved in the project actively communicated to adjust the construction plan, developed dynamic plans, overcame adverse factors, and made every effort to speed up progress to ensure that the project goals were met on schedule.
On March 16, news came from the Hainan Commercial Storage Phase II project, which is being constructed by Sinopec Fourth Construction Storage and Transportation Engineering Company. Thanks to the efforts of all the workers involved, the first 100,000-cubic-meter double-disc external floating roof crude oil storage tank has entered the stage of water filling tests, marking the full commencement of the pressure testing phase for this project. It is stated that the hydrostatic test, as a key part of the tank performance testing, is crucial for checking the tightness of the internal tank welds and the load-bearing capacity of the tank foundation. The storage tank has a diameter of 80 meters and a height of over 20 meters; the water level inside it is around 20 meters above the bottom. The planned water usage amounts to 101,000 cubic meters, and the tests are expected to be completed within 41 days. To ensure the smooth progress of the tests, the project construction team coordinated efforts and made scientific and thorough arrangements. Through thorough routine inspections, multi-point settlement monitoring, controlling the water filling rate, and adjusting the timing of water injection, on-site issues were resolved promptly. This laid a solid foundation for subsequent tasks such as tank drainage, settlement monitoring, and cleaning, and also created favorable conditions for the successful execution of work related to anti-corrosion measures for both the inside and outside of the tanks as well as pipeline installation.
