On January 3, 2026, local time, with the final glass and steel structure component of Pool 13 in the Loop1 cooling tower of the Saudi Amira public works project accurately hoisted into place, the main frames of the glass and steel structures for both the Loop3 and Loop1 cooling towers, which were under construction by the Saudi Amira public works project team of Jilin Chemical Construction International Branch, were successfully completed. The achievement of this milestone lays a solid foundation for the smooth progress of subsequent construction tasks, such as the installation of auxiliary equipment, the laying of fiberglass pipes, and the construction of firewalls. It is reported that the two sets of cooling towers in this project, Loop1 and Loop3, are divided into 27 water tanks, each equipped with 54-hole fans. The single tower is 19.75 meters tall, 202 meters long, and 35 meters wide, with weights of 2,060 tons and 2,590 tons respectively. The main body of the cooling towers is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP); the total number of FRP components in the two towers exceeds 35,000. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out the installation of associated components such as internal structural supports, packing materials, water distribution pipes, and water collectors, which poses significant construction challenges and coordination difficulties. To ensure the smooth progress of the installation work, the team leaders of the project department took charge of directing the efforts, while the technical experts in equipment management stepped forward to lead the preparation work for construction. On one hand, they established close contact with the cooling tower manufacturers, thoroughly understood the key technical aspects, carefully formulated construction plans, innovated the installation processes and working methods, and established a comprehensive closed-loop control system for the entire process ； On the other hand, scientific planning is employed to allocate human resources, machinery, materials, and other resources in a precise manner, ensuring smooth coordination across all stages of construction. After the general contractor and the owner’s PID quality inspection department verified that the elevation, slope, and coordinates of the civil engineering surfaces were all satisfactory, the scaffolding team quickly deployed its most skilled personnel to construct access walkways on each floor. The specialized installation team then stepped in to carry out tasks such as joining the longitudinal beams made of fiberglass prefabricates, connecting the horizontal beams to the pool walls, and securing the diagonal supports to the ground. At the same time, attention was paid to details such as ensuring proper vertical alignment and tightening bolts. Throughout the project, the team strictly adhered to safety standards and maintained high quality control. By working backwards from the scheduled completion dates and making every effort to accelerate construction progress, they advanced various tasks efficiently, thus laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of the main frames of the two cooling towers. Amira, the project owner and on-site manager, highly praised the project team for its meticulous organization, rapid response, and close collaboration, commending them for working together efficiently to achieve project milestones with high quality. The team leaders of the project department stated that they will lead all employees to work together with unity and determination, adhering to a work style characterized by rigor, meticulousness, practicality, and speed. They will oversee the implementation of all subsequent construction tasks to ensure that all target milestones are achieved on schedule
