During the cold winter months, the construction site of the Dongming Olefin New Materials Technology Demonstration Project, which is under the general contracting of Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., is progressing in an orderly manner. To ensure the timely achievement of China Communications’ objectives, the project team strictly adheres to the winter construction guidelines, and by employing scientific management strategies to cope with low-temperature conditions, it accelerates the construction of the facilities and auxiliary systems while maintaining project quality and safety. At present, all construction units have been equipped with all the necessary materials for winter construction to ensure that the heat retention requirements for concrete work are met. To address the challenges associated with managing the construction environment in winter, the project team took specific measures for key tasks such as the welding of process pipelines and equipment installation: enclosed insulation shelters were built, along with fuel-powered heaters, to maintain a temperature inside these shelters at least at 5°C, in compliance with the requirements of welding procedures ； Anti-slip mats are laid on the work platform, and dedicated personnel are assigned to clear snow, effectively eliminating potential slip hazards. Metal building materials such as steel and pipes are protected using a \"bottom padding and top covering\" method, with wooden planks used to raise them by 30 centimeters in order to prevent moisture; this dual-layer protection system helps to ward off extreme cold ； Construction machinery is inspected for preheating on a daily basis; fuel with winter-grade specifications and lubricants are replaced, and strict insulation measures are taken at night. To cope with the challenges posed by low winter temperatures, the project department provided all staff members with a complete set of winter protective equipment. In addition, anti-slip safety belts were supplied to those working at heights, and the duration of each such task was strictly limited to 2 hours. At the same time, by adjusting the sequence of tasks, the critical construction phases are carried out during the hot periods of the day, and daily safety briefings before work are conducted along with regular inspections to identify and address potential hazards, thereby ensuring safe and orderly construction. By optimizing the construction plan and strengthening process control, the project team effectively mitigated the impact of low-temperature weather, ensuring the steady progress of the project according to the scheduled milestones. As a technology demonstration project, once completed, this facility will inject new momentum into the regional economic development.
