Chapter 314 Inspecting the Construction Site (Seeking the Moon
The Xiaoqing River originates from the Yufu River, branches and many springs in Quanshui City. It flows northeast through mountainous areas, Zhangqiu, Boxing and other counties, and enters Laizhou Bay 20 kilometers east of Yangjiaogou in Shouguang County.
It has a total length of more than 240 kilometers and a drainage area of 11,000 square kilometers.
It is the only river for flood control, waterlogging control and sewage drainage in the main urban area of the provincial capital.
With the development of the city, the flood control and drainage pressure in the urban section of Xiaoqing River Spring Water has gradually increased.
Due to the large amounts of industrial sewage and domestic wastewater being discharged into the Xiaoqing River, water pollution has become more and more serious, and the fish and shrimp in the river have almost disappeared.
This in turn leads to the deterioration of the surrounding environment, which seriously restricts the economic and social development of Quanshui City, especially the northern urban area.
In the spirit of the instructions of the meeting led by the provincial party committee, Quanshui City carried out comprehensive management of the spring water section of Xiaoqing River.
The construction site is mainly in the Lishan area, with a total length of 31 kilometers.
The first phase of the project has a total investment of 4 billion.
Naturally, not all of the four billion will be used to clear silt and strengthen river embankments.
The entire project includes flood control and waterlogging removal, urban drainage, pollution interception and pollution control, road bridge and pipeline reconstruction, river water replenishment, landscape construction and cross-strait development, etc.
The comprehensive management of Xiaoqing River actually started in 1997.
The bidding section undertaken by Huaihai Engineering Corporation is only a section of the river course in the first phase of the Xiaoqing River Comprehensive Management Project, which includes flood control and waterlogging reduction, and landscape creation.
To put it bluntly, it is actually dredging, strengthening the river embankments, and then greening both sides of the river.
The project content is similar to that of Niutouyu Donggou.
When Yu Qingyang arrived, Chen Yongfa was already waiting at the intersection with the company's leaders and people from the project department.
"Old Chen, you came very quickly!" Yu Qingyang got out of the car and shook hands with Chen Yongfa.
It is much farther from the company to the Xiaoqinghe construction site than from Niutouyu Donggou to the Xiaoqinghe construction site.
"I just happened to come to the Xiaoqinghe construction site today to check on the situation. When Lao Guan called me, I was already halfway there!" Chen Yongfa explained with a smile.
"Haha! That's a coincidence! I also wanted to come over and check out the situation!
This is the first project worth over 100 million yuan that our Huaihai Company has undertaken!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
As for whether Chen Yongfa was going to inspect, luckily, no one bothered about it.
Yu Qingyang shook hands with Vice President Meng Zhiyuan, Zhang Jianguo, Chief Engineer Meng Zhizhi, and members of the project department one by one.
The project manager of the Xiaoqing River Comprehensive Management Project is served by Vice President Zhang Jianguo.
The Xiaoqinghe Project Department transferred personnel from two engineering departments and half of the personnel from the technical department.
"Let's go and have a look at your project department first!"
"Mr. Yu, you follow my car, I will lead the way!"
"Okay!" Yu Qingyang nodded, turned around and got in the car.
Follow Chen Yongfa to the Xiaoqinghe project department.
Xiaoqinghe project department is much better than Niutouyu.
It is also a rented private house, but this private house is very large and spacious.
The courtyard alone covers an area of more than an acre, and the three-story building, plus two two-story annex buildings on the east and west, has a total of more than 60 rooms.
The exterior walls are covered with dark golden wall tiles and paired with bright red wooden doors, giving it a resplendent feel.
There is never a shortage of rich people in the spring water.
"Mr. Yu, this is a nursing home donated to the village by a wealthy man in Panzhuang.
As a result, the house was built, and the rich man suddenly ran away.
It is said that the funds were raised illegally and the donations absconded.
This nursing home has been put on hold because of a debt dispute!" Seeing Yu Qingyang looking at the yard in a daze, Chen Yongfa quietly explained to him the origin of the yard.
Yu Qingyang nodded with emotion.
Around 2000, illegal fund-raising harmed countless families.
In a word, greed is still causing trouble.
In his last life, Yu Qingyang was also cheated out of more than 50,000 yuan, which directly led to the breakdown of his first marriage.
Walking into the conference room, it was originally designed as an activity room for the elderly.
It has now been converted into a conference room.
"Our company's construction scope is k25+100-k29+000, with a total length of 3 kilometers.
The main project content is the river water conservancy project and the construction of hidden culverts for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, as well as the reconstruction of municipal roads, bridges and pipelines..." Chief Engineer Meng Zhiyi introduced the project summary to Yu Qingyang.
"I know all this!
Please tell me the specific construction arrangements and the current construction progress!" Yu Qingyang interrupted Meng Zhiyi.
"Okay, Mr. Yu, we are taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the dry season to construct the river project on the left and right banks at the same time.
On the right bank, we divided it into two sections and carried out the construction at the same time. We first carried out the construction of access roads, earthwork excavation above the +20.0 elevation and the demolition of the existing masonry shore wall.
At the same time, construction of island cofferdams and deep wells for dewatering were carried out.
After the precipitation effect meets the requirements, earthwork excavation and construction of the new bank wall will be carried out.
We divided the river channel expansion on the left bank into three sections and carried out the excavation at the same time. They were all divided into sections and constructed using the layered excavation method.
First, excavate a 4-meter-deep mud storage pit along the existing river bank wall B area, dig out the mud on the left side of the river channel, store it, and transport it out after seepage.
After the silt is transported out, the stone wall on the left bank will be dismantled. At the same time, it will be divided from right to left according to the 8-meter wide standard, and the excavation will be carried out in layers...
The bank walls of the two banks of the existing river channel will be retained as cofferdam retaining walls, and the new river channel formed by the expansion and excavation of the left bank will be used as a construction diversion open channel for secondary dredging.
The water lifting well and the entrance for cleaning will be arranged in due course according to the progress of the construction..."
Yu Qingyang understood that what Meng Zhizhi said was divided into two sections and three sections actually meant two construction teams on the right bank and three construction teams on the left bank.
The Xiaoqing River Comprehensive Management Project is the largest project in Dongshan Province since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and involves supporting projects for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Naturally it attracted a lot of attention.
Although Huaihai Engineering Corporation won the bid, no less than a hundred people greeted it from top to bottom.
There are leaders within the system, leaders outside the system, as well as local leaders and village leaders.
Everyone wants to get a share of this project.
"What's the current progress of construction?"
"The layout of dewatering wells has been completed, and dewatering wells are being dug and construction roads are being built." Zhang Jianguo replied.
"Is there any difficulty?"
“The main reason is the lack of construction machinery. Although there are many leaders saying hello, there are many people doing manual work and few with machinery.
Mr. Tang transferred over five excavators. Including the local ones, there are only ten excavators and fifty dump trucks, of which thirty are Dongfeng dump trucks.
The amount of earthwork excavated in our bidding section is 2.2 million cubic meters, of which 1.8 million cubic meters needs to be transported!
The current transportation capacity is simply not enough to ensure that earthwork construction is completed before the flood season."
"This is a practical problem!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
This year Dongshan Province’s total investment in water conservancy alone reached more than 10 billion.
Urban construction is taking place everywhere, building roads and building buildings, and it is inevitable that construction machinery will be in short supply.
This situation will not be alleviated until next year.
Yu Qingyang rented an excavator from the Provincial Water Resources Administration. After the Hongwei River was drained, the excavator was not released at all and was transferred directly to Xiaoqing River.
For this reason, Mr. Lu made all the phone calls abroad, and Yu Qingyang could not refute his face.
"I'll go back and ask if Mr. Tang can still mobilize an excavator!
If it doesn’t work, just buy new machinery!”
This is the first billion-dollar project undertaken by Huaihai Engineering Corporation, and Yu Qingyang also attaches great importance to it.
The department leaders must be allowed to see the working ability of Huaihai Engineering Corporation.
"Are there any other difficulties?"
"Others are local relations, we are coordinating them!" Zhang Jianguo thought for a moment and said.
"Well, Mr. Chen, let's go to the site and have a look together?" Yu Qingyang looked at Chen Yongfa.
As for the local relationship Zhang Jianguo mentioned, Yu Qingyang didn't ask much.
Handling local relations is something every project manager must experience, and it is also a hurdle that tests the project manager's ability.
As the vice president of the company, if Zhang Jianguo cannot handle this, then Yu Qingyang should consider whether Zhang Jianguo is capable of serving as the vice president of Huaihai Engineering Corporation.
Chen Yongfa and other leaders of Huaihai Company accompanied Yu Qingyang to the construction site.
If you don't take into account the pungent smell of the black water in the river, the scenery of Xiaoqing River is still very good. The trees on both sides of the river are shady, making it a good place to relax.
It's a pity that now we can no longer see the sight of schools of fish and shrimps, flocks of ducks playing in the river, and the crystal clear water.
Only the dark river water and the big trees on the bank were left.
Ten excavators are building roads and digging deep pits to store silt.
Because the sludge has a relatively high water content and is inconvenient for direct transportation, it must be dehydrated first.
Dig deep pits on the river bank to store the silt, allowing the water in the silt to seep into the soil naturally.
This is a relatively stupid and primitive construction technology.
Even the most primitive and stupid construction technology is much better than the crude method of transporting it away directly in Niutouyu Donggou.
Of course, Niutouyu Donggou has its special reasons.
There is no condition to dig deep pits to control water from the silt.
Therefore, Yu Qingyang did not criticize Huayu First Construction Group for its simple and crude construction methods.
Fortunately, in 2000, environmental inspections were not strict.
If it were left to future generations, the construction methods of Huayu No. 1 Construction Group would be directly put on the blacklist.
"Mr. Chen, there are too few safety warning signs and company image promotion signs on site." Yu Qingyang simply asked a small question.
"We will set up warning signs and corporate image promotion signs later!" Chen Yongfa breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone at Huaihai Engineering Corporation was worried about Yu Qingyang's sudden visit to the construction site.
This is the first project Huaihai Engineering Corporation received after investing in Huayu.
It was also the first project that Chen Yongfa took on after he came to the company.
In addition, I am not familiar with Yu Qingyang and don’t know Yu Qingyang’s character, so I am afraid that something is not done well and Yu Qingyang will be dissatisfied.
Seeing that Yu Qingyang only raised a small question, everyone naturally felt at ease.
"Haha! Lao Chen, are you relieved now?
Are you worried that I will come here to find fault with you?" Yu Qingyang glanced at Chen Yongfa and asked with a smile.
"Well... Mr. Yu is doing us a favor by making demands on us!
We hope Mr. Yu can point out some shortcomings to us." Chen Yongfa was startled, but he didn't expect Yu Qingyang to speak so directly, and then he said with a smile.
“There are many problems, but I won’t mention them here!
The group company will have a meeting tomorrow, let’s discuss it together!”
Yu Qingyang's words made Chen Yongfa and others' hearts arouse again.
Group meeting to discuss?
Chen Yongfa, Zhang Jianguo and others are all using their brains to think about any major problems at the construction site that need to be discussed at the group meeting.
"Stop thinking nonsense! What we will discuss tomorrow is not the individual phenomena that exist at that construction site.
These are some common problems that exist in the entire industry!" Seeing Chen Yongfa, Zhang Jianguo and others frowning and thinking hard, Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
Yu Qingyang's words made Chen Yongfa and others laugh bitterly and curse.
Talking halfway is really scary to death.
At noon, Yu Qingyang had a working meal with everyone at the Xiaoqinghe Project Department.
Originally, Chen Yongfa planned to invite Yu Qingyang to the hotel.
He was rejected by Yu Qingyang.
"Your food is not bad! The chef is also good, and the stewed fish is quite delicious."
"Our food standard is seven yuan per person per day. There are many people on the construction site here, so all the food is relatively good.
You can eat fish or pork ribs or braised pork once a week.
The chef was found from the local area. When I was in the production team, I used to cook big pots of rice." Zhang Jianguo explained carefully.
"It's still delicious to eat in this big pot! This piece of fish has to be stewed in a pot, so that the flavor can penetrate into the meat!" Yu Qingyang smiled and said nothing more.
He knew that Zhang Jianguo was a little worried.
You don’t have to explain too much. Sometimes the more you explain, the more people think.
After eating, Yu Qingyang was ready to go home.
Two vans drove into the project department.
Seven or eight young people who didn't look like good people came down.
He has dyed yellow hair and a gold chain hanging around his neck.
As soon as I got off the bus, I shouted: "Who's the boss?"
"I'm the manager of the construction site, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qingyang didn't say anything, but glanced at Zhang Jianguo, who stepped forward and asked.
"You are working here, who did you greet?" the leader, Huang Mao, asked arrogantly.
"Hello? The comprehensive management of Xiaoqing River is a key project in the province. We are a subsidiary company of the Department of Water Resources.
I don’t know, who else do we need to say hello to when we are working?”
“I don’t care whether you are the Department of Water Resources or the Department of Highways.
This area is all under our control, Brother Long.
You guys are working and you have to say hello to our Brother Long." Huang Mao looked sideways at Zhang Jianguo and said.
"We really don't know Brother Long. We don't know what Brother Long you are talking about does?"
“Who in Linyuan Town doesn’t know our Brother Long?
I’ll give you two days, hurry up and report to our Brother Long!
Otherwise, if there is a problem on the construction site, don’t blame us for not reminding you!
Let’s go!” Huang Mao said, turned around, got in the car and left.
It's really neat and tidy.
But after listening to Huang Mao's words, Yu Qingyang also knew that Brother Long was not a big role.
They are probably local snakes, street gangsters and the like.
The score is quite impressive.
Send a few gangsters to threaten them, and then ask the project department to report to them.
However, this kind of role is also the most difficult to deal with.
Like the previous boss Zhang, he is a big gangster and is more disciplined in doing things.
Moreover, it is in the stage of cleaning up, so it is easier to deal with.
A little gangster like Brother Long has no fear of heaven or earth. He only has one purpose, asking for money.
If I don't give you money, I'll cause trouble for you.
The most difficult thing to deal with is that if it doesn't constitute a crime, even if you call the police and you are caught, the most you can do is to be detained by public security.
Looking back, I will still cause trouble for you, making it impossible for you to work normally.
