Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty-Three Water System Connection Project
Yu Qingyang and his party arrived at the Xingquan River Project Department in their car.
Wan Guoxiang, the project manager of the Xingquan River project, was already standing at the door waiting to greet him.
Wan Guoxiang is the director of the Sixth Engineering Department of Huaihai Engineering Corporation.
Yu Qingyang did not prohibit the people below from welcoming him. This is not because he likes the spectacle, but because the domestic environment is like this.
If you don't let the people below greet you, it will cause unnecessary panic and random speculation.
The car was stable. Wan Guoxiang stepped forward to open the door for Yu Qingyang. Yu Qingyang got out of the car and shook hands with Wan Guoxiang.
"Director Wan, thank you for your hard work, brothers! I'm coming over to see you all!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your concern. Hard work is not to be mentioned. This is what we water conservancy people do!" Wan Guoxiang is half a head taller than Yu Qingyang, bending slightly to talk to Yu Qingyang.
"Your project department is very impressive! I think all the project departments are inferior to yours!" Yu Qingyang raised his eyes and looked at the building that had just been renovated and put into use.
"Thanks to Mayor Zhang. This is their newly built town government residence. It was just repaired and they lent it to us before we could use it!" Wan Guoxiang glanced behind him and said with a smile.
The town leaders of Shiliuli Mountain were also in the welcoming team.
"Haha, Mayor Zhang, how dare you bother the leader to greet him!" Yu Qingyang laughed and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Mayor Zhang who came up.
"Mr. Yu is a distinguished guest and the God of Wealth of our Shiliuli Mountain. I heard that you were coming, so I specifically asked Manager Wan to inform us!" Mayor Zhang held Yu Qingyang's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously.
“Mayor Zhang, it’s me who should thank the leaders for supporting us!
You see, in order to support our project construction, all the newly renovated office buildings have been given away! We can't bear this kind of sentiment!"
"Mr. Yu, let alone the new office building, it is our old office building. If your company needs it, we can find a way to squeeze out a few offices!" Mayor Zhang said with a smile on his face.
It is worth doing this just for the sake of the concrete mixing station in your own jurisdiction.
There were shares of their town in it. Looking at the concrete pump trucks that kept going black and white every day, everyone in the town praised the decision in different ways.
When Mayor Zhang goes to the district for a meeting, which leader in other towns and villages would not be envious and jealous?
That feeling is so cool!
Therefore, when Mayor Zhang learned that a company under Huayu Investment was coming to build the building and was looking for an office space, he immediately approached the senior town party officials and after discussion, he made the decision to lend the new office building to Huayu Investment for free.
They can move in a year later, but the love is really earned.
Mayor Zhang has long been looking forward to Yu Qingyang coming to inspect the work. If Yu Qingyang doesn't come to inspect the work, how will this favor be implemented?
Now that it has finally been implemented, Mayor Zhang is smiling very happily.
"We, the leaders of Shilishan Town, have a deep friendship, and we feel it! I won't say much more about my thanks. We have a long future ahead!" Yu Qingyang expressed his gratitude again.
A group of people walked into a brand new office building.
This office building is a bit inappropriate. The yard is quite big, covering four or five acres of land. The building is not high, with only five floors. It is the joint office of the town government and the town party committee.
Domestically, local governments, general towns and counties, all work under the same roof of the party committee and government, and only at the municipal level do they work separately.
Of course, this is not absolute. Some prefectures and cities also have shared offices, and with development, more and more prefecture-level cities have shared offices.
This office building is very modern, with central air-conditioning, marble floors, and a spacious and bright foyer that exudes solemnity and cleanliness. A line of large red characters on the LED display reads, Huaihai Engineering Corporation Quanshui City Wolong Reservoir-Xingquan River Water System Connection Project
The word "Ministry" exudes a modern atmosphere.
The LEDs that were so popular in later generations could hardly reflect modernization in 2001.
Walking into the conference room, the conference room is filled with mahogany office furniture.
"Mr. Yu, these are mahogany office furniture produced by our furniture factory.
I originally said we would provide office furniture, but Mayor Zhang disagreed and insisted on purchasing it himself! I asked Mr. Xiao to give me a discount!" Wan Guoxiang whispered.
Yu Qingyang nodded and said nothing.
Office furniture for a five-story building costs several million dollars after discounts. This is a real favor.
Otherwise, if the project department provides office furniture, who owes it to whom? It would be a bit unclear!
After everyone sat down, Huang Debin, the chief engineer of the project, walked to the front and began to report on the work.
Someone next to me turned on the projector, and a map of Nanshan District appeared on the projection cloth.
"First of all, on behalf of the water system connection project department, I welcome the leaders of the group company, including Mr. Yu, Mr. Wu, and Mayor Zhang, to come and guide the work. Next, I will report to the leaders on the current work tasks of my project department, as well as the progress of the project..."
Yu Qingyang took the lead in applauding.
"The Wolongshan Reservoir-Xingquan River connection project has a total length of 15.2 kilometers, and the water diversion pipe uses 600 stainless steel pipes...
It is necessary to build two water pumping stations and open up three mountains...
The construction difficulty of this project is the tunnel connection between the three mountains, because the geological exploration data provided by the design institute is incomplete..."
"Which design institute is it?" Yu Qingyang raised his hand to interrupt Huang Debin and asked.
"Quanshui Water Conservancy Design Institute!"
"You continue!" Yu Qingyang nodded.
"We follow the construction principle of putting the easy things first and then the difficult ones. We finish the good work first and then concentrate on the difficult projects..."
"What are your considerations for connecting tunnels between three mountains?"
"We have filed a report and requested the Quanshui Water Conservancy Survey and Design Institute to issue a clear geological survey report!
In addition, we have submitted a report to the company and are preparing to introduce micro tunnel machines for rock mass pipe jacking construction!" Huang Debin glanced at Wan Guoxiang before replying.
"Micro tunnel machine? Rock mass pipe jacking! You have a good idea!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded.
Compared with those road tunnels, railway tunnels, and water conservancy pipeline tunnels, they are really micro tunnels.
In this regard, China is still relatively advanced. Pipeline companies under PetroChina often do this work.
For large-diameter underground rock mass and long-distance pipe jacking, PetroChina's technology is very mature, and they also have a company specializing in the production of micro-tunnel machines.
The difference between rock mass pipe jacking and soil pipe jacking is that the front machine head is different.
The micro tunnel machine used for rock mass pipe jacking is similar to the current shield machine. There is a machine head in the front that is a hob to cut the rock mass.
When the cutter head of the micro tunnel machine cuts the rock, the pipe jacking machine pushes the casing and the micro tunnel machine forward and then the conveyor belt transports the cut rock fragments out.
What is commendable to the water system connection project department is that they pushed ahead without encountering difficulties, and did not adopt the most common method now, subcontracting.
Instead, I am going to buy equipment, learn the technology, and tackle this hard nut myself.
This is the most praiseworthy place!
By outsourcing everything, it saves you trouble and worry, but what do I want you to do?
Why do I have so many companies? If I have a construction company as the general contractor, how much easier would it be to subcontract the project after I get it?
Outsourcing and doing your own research and construction are two different concepts. After you outsource, you are only responsible for supervision, which is completely different from doing it yourself. In the end, your mastery of technology is completely different.
It's like a person who has never been a construction supervisor. No matter how many projects he supervises and how proficient he is in memorizing specifications, his specific construction operations are not as good as those of young construction workers who have only worked on one or two construction sites.
We often say that the most feared thing on a construction site is not to supervise construction, but to switch from construction to supervision.
This is the truth. For those who stand and watch, no matter how much they watch, they will only scratch the surface. It is better to bend down and do it once than to know more after watching it ten times.
Once a person who is bending over to work stands up to look, it will definitely be a nightmare for other people who are bending over to work.
"Do you still have any difficulties now?"
"The difficulty is relocation, which has seriously restricted our construction progress!"
It's an old question again, and it's a commonplace question.
In almost all projects, the first problem encountered is relocation.
Yu Qingyang turned to look at Mayor Zhang.
"Mr. Huang, are there any obstacles to construction on our Shiliuli Mountain side?
I'll call the secretaries and directors of the relevant villages over this afternoon, and let's study it together!" Mayor Zhang naturally understood what Yu Qingyang's eyes meant and said immediately.
"Thank you for your leadership's support! We have basically solved everything here in Shiliuli Mountain, except for the two orchards in Liujiawopu and Zhaojiayu, which have not been solved yet!
The main problem is concentrated in Zhongnan Town, where there are twelve orchards, three cemeteries, and six houses hindering construction!" Wan Guoxiang quickly opened his mouth to explain to Mayor Zhang.
