Thread Content

On December 30, the pilot-scale production platform, constructed by the project team of Nantong Blue Sea New Materials Pilot Plant at the Fifth Branch, was completed to high standards, marking a milestone achievement in the project’s development. This accomplishment lays a solid foundation for the overall progress of the Blue Sea New Materials project as well as for subsequent scientific research and experimental activities. As a key project of the group company, the pilot plant has faced multiple challenges since its inception, including a large scale of construction, numerous interdisciplinary elements, and an extremely tight schedule. The project team adheres to a goal-oriented approach, uniting its efforts and overcoming challenges under the guidance of party building. With a proactive attitude of \"starting work right away and going all out from the beginning,\" it makes every effort to advance the project construction, ultimately achieving the set goals with high quality. It is reported that the pilot plant platform package covers 10 regional units, including the entire plant’s infrastructure, auxiliary facilities in the east area, utility tunnels in the east area, the analysis and testing center, auxiliary facilities in the west area, utility tunnels in the west area, the plant-wide storage areas, the integrated tank farm, loading and unloading stations, and the gatehouse in the west area. During the construction process, the project team coordinated construction resources in a scientific manner, worked backward from the deadline, and used visual planning to set specific milestones for each individual component and each specialty. The \"parallel operation + concurrent construction\" approach was fully implemented; key tasks such as equipment installation, pipeline laying, and electrical installation were carefully divided and closely linked together, thereby reducing the waiting time between different tasks. In the face of adverse weather conditions such as continuous rainy seasons, extreme heat, and typhoons, the project team took proactive actions by flexibly adjusting the construction plans, scientifically scheduling work periods, seizing every available opportunity for work, racing against time to advance the project, and exerting precise efforts in on-site management. During the peak construction period, a total of 814 workers were assigned to the project, all of whom stayed at the work site to tackle the challenges. For this reason, the project team was affectionately dubbed the “Lunch Box Project Team” – breakfast and dinner were eaten on-site in a hurry, as the team relied on simple efforts to overcome the difficulties involved in advancing the project. As of the mid-point milestone, the project has achieved significant progress: a total of 2,272 PHC piles have been installed, 17,459 cubic meters of concrete have been poured, 64,040 meters of pipelines have been installed, 38 pieces of equipment have been installed, 6,110 tons of steel structures have been installed, and 313,875 meters of cables have been laid. Additionally, 1,354,230 safe working hours have been logged. Under strict organization and meticulous management, all key milestones of the project progressed steadily as planned and were successfully completed: on August 7, all construction structures were fully topped out ； On October 8, the installation of the steel structure was completed ； On December 10, all pipeline installation was completed ； On December 25, the pressure testing and purging were completed ； On December 26, the adiabatic construction was successfully completed ； On December 28, the single-unit test was successfully completed ； On December 29, all loop tests met the requirements ； On December 30, the pilot plant project was completed to high standards. The progress of each node was well-organized, with efficient and smooth coordination, which helped to save valuable time for the overall delivery of the project. At the level of technology application, the project team actively promotes process innovation and upgrading. For the rust removal of steel structure connection plates, a laser rust removal process has been innovatively adopted. By utilizing precise laser beams, this method effectively removes rust, scale, and impurities from the surface of the steel. It ensures thorough rust removal without damaging the base material, and it also offers significant advantages such as no dust pollution, high operational efficiency, and environmental friendliness. The performance of this process was unanimously recognized through joint inspections and evaluations by the supervisor and the owner, and the relevant proven experience has been fully applied in the rust removal projects for other units in the Blue Ocean New Materials project. In terms of safety and quality control, the project department adheres to the core principle of \"quality first, safety foremost\", establishing a comprehensive \"three-level quality control system\". Strict oversight is applied at every stage, from construction preparation and process control to final inspection, to ensure that construction quality remains under control throughout the entire process ； Simultaneously, the “first-piece sample guidance” system is implemented across the board, using sample projects to standardize processes and clarify quality requirements, thereby ensuring that project quality is excellent from the very beginning. In terms of safety management, the project team continues to strengthen safety training for all employees and implement meticulous on-site oversight. It has introduced innovative solutions such as a \"smart lifting system\" and an \"intelligent safety monitoring system\", which enable real-time monitoring of lifting operations and AI-driven detection of violations at the site. This allows for early identification and prompt resolution of safety hazards, providing a solid foundation for the project to progress swiftly and steadily. During the project construction process, the project’s Party branch played a vital role as a stronghold, integrating Party building work deeply into the construction activities. By establishing party member responsibility zones and model posts for party members, it encourages them to take the lead and assume responsibilities in tasks that are urgent, difficult, risky, and critical. Carry out “Party building + tackling challenges” initiatives around key nodes to transform the advantages of Party building into managerial efficiency and execution capability. During the critical phase of project completion, Party members took the lead in working overtime and staying at their posts, motivating all those involved in the project to work together with one purpose. This created a strong collective force characterized by unity and coordinated efforts, providing solid political support for the successful completion of the project. With strong winds ahead on a journey of thousands of miles, we set out once again with a heavy burden upon our shoulders. All the staff involved in the project team of Nantong Blue Sea New Materials Pilot Plant at the Fifth Branch will continue to uphold the corporate spirit of \"being particularly resilient in the face of difficulties, highly combative, dedicated, and capable of overcoming challenges.\" They will push forward the construction of other facilities to high standards, thereby contributing more to the company’s high-quality development.
