Completion of the main structure of the Yingkou LNG receiving station project On December 28, a ceremony marking the completion of the main construction work for the Yingkou LNG receiving station project in Liaoning Province was held at the Xianrendao port area. This marks the successful completion of the key tasks during the construction phase for this **major energy strategy project, laying a solid foundation for subsequent system integration and preparation for operation. It is reported that the Yingkou LNG receiving station project is a key project under China’s 13th Five-Year Plan as well as Liaoning Province’s 14th Five-Year Plan. Since construction began on March 5, 2023, the project team, together with all the participating units, overcame various challenges such as a tight schedule, high technical difficulties, and complex on-site conditions. Through 1,030 days of hard work, all three major construction tasks were successfully completed. The overall progress of the receiving station project is 95.72%; the construction of the four storage tanks has been completed, and 86% of the work related to the fabrication and installation of process pipelines has been finished ； The progress of the port project has reached 86.14%; the construction of the main structures of the port control platform and working platforms is complete, and the facilities of the modern port and reception station are fully in place. All the core structures of the project have been completed. The four LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters each have seen the completion of all major construction tasks, including the pouring of the outer shells, welding of the inner shells, installation of the insulation layer, and setup of the domes. Tests have shown that all parameters meet the design requirements. Three years of perseverance, over a thousand days and nights of dedication. The construction team faced challenges such as high geographical latitudes, severe winter conditions, and complex construction requirements. It overcame various obstacles including stringent technical requirements, tight deadlines, and an uncertain external environment. Adhering to the work philosophy of \"delivering excellent results, completing tasks successfully, and achieving perfection,\" it embraced the \"four concepts\" and carried forward the \"four spirits.\" Through scientific management, efficient construction practices, and a commitment to overcoming difficulties, the team ensured that the main components of the project were completed on time and to a high standard. Following joint inspections by the supervision unit and third-party testing agencies, the project has met both quality and safety standards; the quality of all completed structural elements is satisfactory, and the inspections at key stages were passed successfully. The project has received numerous awards, including the “2024 Standardized Construction Site for Work Safety” award from the China Construction Association, the “High-Quality Structure Project Award” from the Liaoning Construction Industry Association, and it was among the first sites to be recognized as a “Five-Star Standardized Construction Site” by China National Chemical Engineering Group Corporation. To date, **5 patents have been obtained, 3 provincial and ministerial-level construction methods have been developed, and 19 more patents are under application**, all of which reflect the concept of creating high-quality projects. Wang Daobing, Party Secretary and Chairman of CCCC Yingkou LNG Co., Ltd., said that the completion of the main structure of the project represents a milestone, as well as a new starting point for striving to achieve operational status. As an important project aimed at ensuring **energy security and promoting the development of the Northeast region, once the main structure of the Yingkou LNG receiving station is completed, efforts will be made to achieve operation by 2026. It is set to become a model project in the industry that is \"green, high-quality, and intelligent,\" thereby providing strong impetus for optimizing the regional energy structure and fostering high-quality economic development in the area.
