The pouring of the foundation slab for the low-temperature storage tanks in the Jieyang Pugong New Energy LPG storage and distribution facility project has been successfully completed

Thread Content

Recently, with the final batch of concrete precisely poured into the formwork, the pouring work for the foundations of the two 60,000-cubic-meter low-temperature tanks at the Jieyang Pugong New Energy LPG storage and distribution facility was successfully completed. This project was constructed under EPC general contracting by China Five Rings Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sinochem. Located in the Dananhai Petrochemical Industrial Zone of Jieyang City, this project involves the construction of an LPG storage and distribution facility covering an area of about 300 mu (20.0001 hectares), with a total tank capacity of 288,000 cubic meters, along with related supporting facilities. It is a key energy infrastructure project in Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. Once completed, it will fill the gap in first-class LPG storage facilities in Jieyang City, providing raw materials for chemical enterprises in the Dananhai Petrochemical Industrial Zone, as well as a stable supply of gas for CNOOC and residents and industrial users in eastern Guangdong. At the same time, the project is interconnected with the wharf in the Nanhai operation area of Jieyang Port (a 50,000-ton capacity berth) and the onshore tank farm; upon completion, it will further contribute to the development of an energy hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. At present, the project has officially moved from the stage of civil infrastructure construction to the phase of installing the main tank structure. The low-temperature tank foundation poured this time is the core foundation element of the entire project; it has a diameter of 57.6 meters and a thickness of 0.95 meters, making it a very large structure. To ensure the quality of the foundation slab construction, the project team made thorough preparations and carried out scientific planning, while keeping a close eye on weather changes. A scientific zoning plan was developed for the pouring process, with strict control over every stage of construction, including pouring, vibration, finishing, and curing. During the pouring process, professional technicians monitor the concrete’s slump and temperature upon entry into the formwork throughout the entire process, to ensure the quality of the concrete pouring ； After pouring is completed, the construction unit shall be supervised to assign dedicated personnel to cover the concrete with film and geotextile for thermal insulation during curing. The curing measures shall be adjusted based on the temperature data provided by the temperature sensing elements embedded in the cap, in order to strictly control the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete, ensuring high quality in its formation. Next, the project team will continue to thoroughly implement the group company’s \"135\" development strategy and the company’s \"123\" development approach, adhering to the principles of high standards, high quality, advanced technology, and high efficiency. They will apply lean management throughout the entire process to ensure that the project is completed safely and to a high standard.
