On May 14, the carbon dioxide absorption tower of the RTC unit in the Maoming Petrochemical upgrading project, operated by Sinopec Fourth Construction South China Branch, was successfully installed in one attempt. With a diameter of over 4 meters and a height of over 90 meters, this device weighs more than 680 tons and serves as the core and key equipment of the installation. This time, 4,000-ton and 400-ton lifting equipment is used for the lifting. During the construction period, faced with unfavorable factors such as limited site space, dense arrangement of frameworks, numerous concurrent tasks, and great difficulties in organizing the construction process, the project team carried out advance planning. It detailed preliminary procedures such as proper wearing of protective gear, completion of foundation work, and site tidying, allocated human resources and equipment efficiently, seized key construction milestones, and addressed each of the challenges that arose on site. High standards were applied to complete all preliminary preparations, laying a solid foundation for the precise and smooth installation of the equipment and helping to save time, thus effectively ensuring the overall progress of the project.
