On April 5, with the pouring of concrete for the last pile completed, the pile foundation work for the storage tanks in the second phase of the Hainan LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Receiving Station project, which is under the general contracting leadership of CNOOC Petrochemical Engineering, was successfully finished. This marks the official entry of the project into the stage of foundation slab construction. As the leader of the consortium, CNOOC Petrochemical Engineering coordinated resources and made rational allocations. Since the project commenced on December 27, 2024, it adopted a \"go-all-out approach from the start\" to overcome various challenges such as complex geological conditions, lack of access to water and electricity, rainy weather, and the Spring Festival holiday. By using two storage tanks for parallel operations and one tank for sequential operations, more than 30 pieces of equipment and 350 construction workers were deployed during peak periods. With everyone working hard for 100 days, 1,209 cast-in-place piles were completed. During the pile foundation construction process, the general contracting project team strictly controls key procedures such as raw material selection, drilling, reinforcement cage installation, concrete pouring, and post-grouting. By employing methods like inspection through signboards and watermark photography, it ensures the accuracy of process data, thereby safeguarding the quality of the project. Upon completion of the project, the total gas storage capacity of Hainan’s LNG receiving station will rise to 400 million cubic meters, sufficient to meet the province’s emergency peak-shaving needs for three months, and it will be able to serve the Southeast Asian market thanks to the strategic location of Yangpu Port. CNOOC Petrochemical Engineering will take the completion of the pile foundations as a new starting point to accelerate the construction of the pedestals and tanks, thereby contributing to the development of Hainan as a clean energy island.
