The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone talks about safety, and everyone knows how to handle emergencies; identifying and addressing risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- This project is a key initiative for the high-end petrochemical industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and upon completion it will effectively fill the gap in production capacity for high-end polycarbonate products in the region. The three high-formwork units of the completed BPA facility constitute the core, extremely complex components of the project; they involve high technical difficulties, significant safety risks, frequent simultaneous operations, and strict quality requirements. The individual structural elements of these units have large cross-sections and dense steel bar arrangements, which demands extremely high precision in concrete pouring and vibration. The construction period coincided with the main rainy season in Huizhou, and severe weather significantly reduced the available time for outdoor high-altitude work, posing a great challenge to the progress of the construction. Faced with a complex situation characterized by multiple interrelated risks, the project team has always adhered to the philosophy of \"safety first, quality as the core, technology as the guiding principle, and party building as the foundation.\" By pooling available resources and deploying highly skilled personnel, and by following the principles of \"technology first and planning ahead,\" the team works closely in collaboration with the client and the supervision agency. The team organized industry experts to conduct a review and evaluation of the special plan for high-strength formwork, focusing on optimizing key aspects such as the selection of formwork structures, load-bearing capacity calculations, critical construction parameters, and emergency response procedures, to ensure that the plan is scientific and reliable. The project team further refined specific control measures tailored to the local climate conditions, such as suspending work to avoid extreme weather, rechecking the scaffolding after rain, and strengthening the scaffolding before typhoons arrive. By addressing any shortcomings in technical management, they strengthened the safety measures on site, providing a solid foundation for the efficient progress of the project.
