On August 22, the first ethylene quench oil tower equipment for CNOOC Shell Huizhou Phase III ethylene project was successfully delivered to the project site. The ethylene quench oil tower has a diameter of 13.5 m, a total length of 70.7 m, and a total weight of 1621 t; it was the first large-scale piece of equipment to arrive at the plant. Upon receiving the construction instructions, the project was planned scientifically and actions were taken precisely; to protect the oil pipelines, a design using cover culverts was adopted, with reinforced concrete cover culverts constructed at the intersections where the new road met the oil pipelines for protection purposes. Over a period of 34 days, the project team overcame the impacts of severe weather conditions such as typhoons and completed the construction tasks ahead of schedule, ensuring the smooth progress of the transportation of the plant’s first large-scale equipment and laying a solid foundation for subsequent construction work.
