The construction of the Blue Whale started simultaneously at three shipyards affiliated with Fuhai Group. Each technical department also stationed at the shipyard respectively to guide the construction work close to the front line and solve technical problems that occurred during the construction process as much as possible.
Fuhai Group has built many large-scale semi-submersible drilling platforms before and has rich experience in this area. This is also the basis for Lu Zhengtao's decision to launch the Blue Whale.
The scale of the Blue Whale started this time is larger than before, which is not an easy task for the shipyard and requires redoubled efforts.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhao Jingfu led his team back to the slipway from the test site.
As the critical team of Fengyang Shipyard, Zhao Jingfu's team was responsible for the welding of key parts of the Blue Whale's columns. These positions that need to withstand huge pressure all use F690 ultra-high-strength marine panels. Although there are specifications for the welding process, these
Welding at key locations still requires the experts brought by Zhao Jingfu to handle it.
Not to mention that he watched the development of the f690 marine board by himself and participated in various tests. He knew the most about the f690 and could minimize the trouble during the construction process.
The huge steel plate is cut in the preparation workshop according to the size marked on the drawing, then beveled and polished smooth before it can become an object that welders like Zhao Jingfu can work on.
As f690 is a brand-new material, the entire welding process is tested bit by bit through various experiments. Every step needs to be done carefully, whether it is the preheating method, temperature, current, voltage during welding, and completion of welding.
The subsequent slow cooling treatment must be carried out in accordance with the process specifications.
"Squad leader Zhao is here!" Zhao Jingfu came to the preparation workshop to check the supplies to be collected today.
Zhao Jingfu waved to the duty room to say hello, and then took out a bill of materials from his bag.
"This is the list of supplies to be delivered to the slipway today!"
Originally there was no need for him to do this. The welding team only needed to wait for the materials to arrive at the site. In order to improve work efficiency and quality as much as possible, the shipyard added a line to the work process. Personnel who need to go up and down the process must be on site.
The inventory must be completed to prevent incorrect delivery of materials due to poor information.
This kind of thing has happened before. The preparation workshop transported the materials to the site, but what the welders saw were other steel plates. The welding machines and welding materials used were different. All the preparation work was cancelled, which caused a lot of delays.
of time and energy.
The 100 mm thick steel plate is extremely heavy. Even with the help of various machines, every transportation is a big project. If you make a mistake, the delay will be calculated in hours. In the tight construction period,
Next, it is still very necessary to do some work in advance.
Zhao Jingfu carefully counted the materials to be transported today and conducted a preliminary inspection on the quality of the plates. These pre-treated steel plates had been inspected several times. To be on the safe side, he had to inspect them again.
"No problem!" Zhao Jingfu signed the confirmation form.
As soon as the word was signed, Zhao Jingfu looked up and saw Wei Yuhui riding a bicycle from a distance, with her helmet thrown in the basket in front, and her long hair flying in the wind. If this happened to the supervisor,
If she sees it, she can be fined at least two hundred yuan.
"Stop! If you don't wear a helmet as required, you'll be fined!" Zhao Jingfu suddenly jumped out of the corner and shouted loudly.
When Wei Yuhui heard the sound, she was frightened. She immediately jumped out of the car and said repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I'll put it on right now. Don't be fined!"
At this time, she suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter.
Wei Yuhui looked up, but she didn't expect that the guy standing in front of her was Zhao Jingfu.
"Zhao Jingfu, you scared me to death!" Wei Yuhui kept patting her chest,
"Who told you not to wear a safety helmet in the factory? If the supervisor finds out, the two hundred yuan will definitely be indispensable! I will save money for you!" Zhao Jingfu laughed.
"Then do I need to thank you more?" Wei Yuhui asked through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingfu quickly waved his hands, "Don't dare!"
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Wei Yuhui said angrily, then glanced behind Zhao Jingfu and asked, "Are you here to check the materials to be used today?"
"Yes! We will weld the No. 2 column starting today. I'll come over to check the material preparation status!"
"You are very fast!" Wei Yuhui said with some surprise, "I remember you were welding the pontoon a few days ago!"
Zhao Jingfu shook his head proudly, "Don't you see who is leading the team!"
"Look at how awesome you are!" Although Wei Yuhui said this, she still admired Zhao Jingfu in her heart.
"Okay, stop it! After the inspection, hurry up and leave. People have already started hoisting. Don't wait for the whole team to wait for you to start work!" Wei Yuhui pointed to the crane that was being moved and said to Zhao Jingfu
road.
Zhao Jingfu looked nonchalant, "It's okay, I can still work without those bastards!"
Despite what he said, Zhao Jingfu quickly waved goodbye to Wei Yuhui and rode towards the welding site where his team was located.
This welding site is the largest in the entire Fengyang Shipyard. It is now mainly used to weld the huge pontoons and columns of the Blue Whale. The 100-meter-long pontoon takes up a lot of space, and the flatness requirements are extremely high. The two
Every float needs to be welded on a highly flat platform, and the error cannot even exceed the thickness of a hair.
When Zhao Jingfu returned to the welding site, the workers in his team were directing the crane to unload the steel plates.
The crane man has been working with us for many years and has rich experience. During the constant communication between the two parties, the huge crane slowly lowered the heavy steel plate and stopped it steadily on the platform, almost exactly.
"Squad leader Zhao! What's the operation today?" As soon as the steel plate was put down smoothly, a worker came to ask about the project plan.
Zhao Jingfu glanced at the other party and seemed a little unfamiliar. Because Zhao Jingfu's team was rich in experience, Fengyang Shipyard specially strengthened the team's strength and mobilized personnel from other teams to assist. They said they were assisting, but in fact they were here for training so that they could be more capable.
Greatly improve the work efficiency of the shipyard.
"Are you from the sixth team?" Zhao Jingfu finally found the figure of the other party in his mind. It is said that he is also a master of welding.
"Yes, Squad Leader Zhao, the welding department asked us to come over to study!"
At this time, Zhao Jingfu remembered that he went to the factory for a meeting yesterday. The director of the welding department once told him that the shipyard would send several workers to help. At that time, he was in a hurry to sign and didn't pay much attention. It turned out that this was really happening!
