Special Note
“Centennial plan, quality-oriented.” Modern architecture is the product of reinforced concrete technology. The quality of concrete not only affects the structural stability and life of the building, but also affects the safety of the people who use the building. With the “big city Nantong” entering the orbital era and the pace of urbanization accelerating, the demand for high-quality concrete in the Tongcheng market has surged year by year. With the mission of building a transportation hub city, building a garden city with “River Breeze and Haiyun”, and a livable, business-friendly and happy city, Nantong Urban Construction Group fulfills its responsibilities as a state-owned enterprise, assesses the situation, and plans scientifically. In 2019, it invested in the construction of a large-scale commercial concrete production base and opened A new journey to escort and guarantee the quality of key projects such as rail transit—
Nantong Rail Transit ProjectFulfill the responsibility of state-owned enterprises
Service Guarantee Urban Energy Level Improvement
Since the reform and opening up, ready-mixed concrete has gradually replaced bulk cement and has become an inevitable way to improve project quality and civilized construction level. Limited by material properties, concrete production and sales are highly cyclical and regional. In recent years, my country has promulgated industry standards for concrete production, encouraging ready-mixed concrete production enterprises to adopt green, information-based, and intelligent manufacturing technologies to improve the level of technology and equipment. In the past few years, there were a large number of commercial concrete enterprises in Nantong, and there were as many as 28 in the urban area alone. The industry concentration was low, the quality was uneven, and the competition was extremely fierce.
The quality of concrete products is directly related to the “lifeline” of the quality of each project. With the approval of the city’s rail transit construction plan, the urban expressway network has opened a new round of construction from “one ring, one axis and eight shots” to “two rings, seven horizontals and seven verticals”. The construction of the second ecological circle, the ecological restoration work in the Wushan and Binjiang areas is in full swing, the construction of Nantong Innovation Zone is planned and implemented at a high level, and a series of major infrastructure projects to expand the urban development pattern and improve the urban energy level have been implemented in the urban area one after another. In order to ensure the quality and service of supporting building materials for key projects of people’s livelihood, under the premise of complying with the laws of the market economy, it is urgent to establish a supporting commercial concrete enterprise with a strong sense of social responsibility, capable of providing excellent quality and reliable services.
Automatic cleaning of concrete mixer truckNantong Gusheng Building Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Gusheng Company”), a subsidiary of Nantong Urban Construction Group, was born in time. For such a large-scale enterprise, it is hard to believe that it started construction in 2019, and was completed and put into operation that year. In just two years of operation, relying on the wisdom of more than 20 management and technical personnel and exerting the subjective initiative of more than 40 employees, the company has become the largest single-unit production capacity in the urban area, the most advanced technology, the highest level of green environmental protection, and the best service capability. A strong leading commercial concrete enterprise, with production and sales of 820,000 cubic meters of commercial concrete in 2021, has played the role of a “balance axis” and “stabilizer” for Nantong’s local concrete market, and the company’s revenue and profit have steadily increased.
Zhu Jianlin, deputy general manager of Nantong Urban Construction Group, introduced that from the first day of entering the market, Gusheng Company has firmly established the corporate philosophy of “safety is the sky, quality is the soul, and service is the first”, and it provides products and services with guaranteed quality, quantity and satisfaction. Actively fulfill social responsibilities. Since the company was put into operation, it has provided Nantong Urban Rail Transit Control Center and its subsidiary projects, Hongqiao Road (Changjiang Road-Gongnong Road) comprehensive upgrading and reconstruction project, Changtai Road Cross-Jiuweigang Bridge Project, Rengang Road Xincun Urban Renovation Project, Nantong West Railway Station Comprehensive Transportation Hub, Party Style and Clean Government Education Center, Chongchuan District Resettlement Housing Construction and other key urban construction projects provide service guarantees, tempering them into traditional industries and forging ahead, creating advanced cases that practice the concept of green, environmental protection and high-quality development, Set up a healthy development benchmark for the city’s commercial concrete industry with high quality, high price and excellent service. Gusheng Company has become an indestructible “guarantee army” for urban construction.
Renovated Hongqiao RoadThe fall of 2020 is the first peak of supply and demand that Gusheng has ushered in since it was put into operation. The rail transit control center, Zilang Lake No. 2 plot, Tongzhou General Construction, Rengang Police Station and other construction sites have all opened, and all projects are making good use of construction. Timing, rushing to catch up with the construction progress, the dispatch hotline for booking concrete supply is hot. On September 10, the concrete pouring project for the base plate of Nantong Rail Transit Control Center kicked off in a drizzle. The pouring of the mass concrete base plate cannot be interrupted, otherwise there will be hidden quality problems and problems such as leakage of the structure. Gusheng’s leadership team is united, planning ahead, measures are in place, on-site fine management, equipped with two 62-meter pump trucks and one 56-meter pump truck for on-site backup, and arranges a special team for on-site tracking services. From 23:00 on September 10 to 8:00 on the 12th, after 33 hours of intense work, the pouring task was finally completed, and the excellent record of continuous supply of 4,224 cubic meters of commercial concrete without error and delay was achieved. From October 7th to October 8th, all employees of Gusheng Company worked hard again for 40 hours, continued to supply about 8,000 cubic meters of concrete to each customer unit, dispatched more than 1,000 vehicles, and successfully completed the supply under high-intensity production load. The mission and supply guarantee ability have withstood the test of the market and won the trust of customers and the recognition of the society.
The east extension of Jianghai Avenue is a key project to further pave the way for “Nantong Haotong”. After the opening to traffic on December 18, 2021, the main city of Nantong will be directly connected to Tongzhou District via an elevated highway, and the space-time distance between the two places will be shortened to less than 20 minutes. The cross-planning Tongyang Canal cast-in-situ box girder of the SG04 bid section of the project is the key node of the control project of the whole line. There are 15 cast-in-situ box girders for the main bridge and 7 auxiliary bridges. The large-segment brackets are cast-in-situ, and the main span is 120 It is the first large-span box girder constructed by this scheme in the province. The construction is difficult and the material requirements are high. The high-grade concrete required for the construction is provided by Gusheng Company. The difficulty of ensuring the supply of high-performance concrete is that while ensuring that the strength index meets the requirements, it is necessary to flexibly adjust the workability and pumpability of the mixture, so that the ready-mixed concrete can not only maintain high strength, but also flow smoothly. Designated construction site.
East Extension of Jianghai Avenue“This task must be completed 100%!” In order to ensure zero mistakes in the transportation and pouring of high-performance and high-grade concrete, Gusheng selected technical backbones to form a key project team, pre-judged technical difficulties, and carried out many trials in advance, testing pumps, and constantly adjusting Proportion, and form experience essentials for the state control of transportation and waiting process, with professional technical level and high-quality service spirit, to ensure that the production and transportation links are meshed with the on-site construction gears, and the pouring task can be successfully completed.
What makes Mao Jun, member of the Party Committee of Nantong Urban Construction Group and chairman of Guosheng Company, still vivid and fresh in his memory, is the eve of the Spring Festival in 2021, and the renovation of the old community is in full swing. The extremely cold weather of -9 degrees below zero caused the production lines of many concrete enterprises to freeze and unable to operate. At the same time, the price of local concrete production raw materials skyrocketed, and some enterprises that had signed supply contracts were unwilling to maintain the supply. After receiving the call from the relevant departments in Chongchuan District for assistance, Gusheng Company responded quickly, regardless of conditions, and quickly organized production and transportation forces to provide concrete and supporting services for the project site. The renovation of old communities is an important livelihood project related to the well-being of the people. As a state-owned enterprise, the more difficult the time is, the more it must rise to the challenge and demonstrate the responsibility of the people of the state-owned enterprise. “We must be highly conscious and act quickly, regardless of gains and losses, and work hard to ensure that the delivery of the renovation project is not delayed, and that the people can enjoy a beautiful living environment one day earlier…” For concrete companies, supplying old community renovation projects must overcome the need for permits and construction. Various problems such as noise, construction during commuting peak hours, small operation site, and poor construction conditions are “not much consumption and a lot of trouble”, while Gusheng does not distinguish projects based on pure commercial value, but pays more attention to service. social benefits. At the same time, high standards and high starting points were adopted during the construction of the station, and the disturbance to production due to severe weather was fully considered. The closed production line was adopted to avoid the influence of extreme weather to the greatest extent, and the supply guarantee task was successfully completed. Since 2021, Gusheng Company has supplied urban Baihuayuan, Xuetian Nanyuan, COSCO Community, Xintaoyuan District, Yijiaqiao New Village, Xinqiao North Village and other old community projects, supplying about 7,000 cubic meters of concrete , to “escort” the smooth progress of the renovation of the old community.
Adhere to technology empowerment
Always maintain the background color of “low carbon energy saving, green environmental protection”
As night fell, the laboratory on the first floor of Gusheng Company was brightly lit. “The technical department is working overtime again.” Every time such a scene, everyone blurted out. In recent years, the country’s requirements for sustainable development and green environmental protection have become more and more strict, and the supply of concrete raw materials has been greatly affected, and the variety and quality of raw materials have changed accordingly. Staff are also stressed. In order to do a good job in the quality control of concrete, overtime is the norm for him and his friends.
laboratoryOnce upon a time, Gusheng Company was just established. As a newcomer to the industry, on the one hand, it had to withstand the competitive pressure of “old players” at the poker table, and on the other hand, it also suffered from customers’ doubts about the company’s production, supply and marketing capabilities. “Gusheng people must stand on the commanding heights of the industry, develop and grow the enterprise with their ability, strength and hard work, and become a model for state-owned enterprises to be proud of the building materials market!” The relevant person in charge of Gusheng expressed the strongest voice of Gusheng people.
The technical department is a typical representative. In order to come up with the best concrete products and control the quality of the products, we must start from the source. Focusing on this central idea, Ma Xinfeng formulated the quality indicators for raw material procurement based on national and industry standards and the actual situation of local raw materials, and especially strengthened several raw material testing items that have a greater impact on concrete quality, such as sand and gravel grading. , mud content, crushing value of machine-made sand and methylene blue index, etc., to ensure the quality of concrete from the source, and provide basic data for targeted production mix ratio.
Gusheng pays attention to the benefits of technology, builds laboratories according to the highest standards in the industry, complete testing and testing facilities, including chemical analysis room, cement analysis room, aggregate room, mechanics room, standard maintenance room and other testing rooms, equipped with 24 technicians There are 3 people with senior professional titles and 5 with intermediate professional titles. The structure level is reasonable and the staffing is sufficient. Established a technical strategic partnership with the A-share listed company and industry technology leader “Jiangsu Subote”, and established a “high-performance concrete R&D center” in Gusheng Company to promote the level of technology research and development to a new level. The R&D team was established. Since the trial production at the end of 2019, the company has carried out more than 1,000 various trial mix tests to form the mix ratio of high-performance concrete, permeable concrete, ceramsite concrete, machine-made sand concrete and other products, and submit test blocks for inspection throughout the year The factory pass rate is 99%. “Our company provides technical support for production control with excellent skills, provides a basis for cost control, and provides confidence for undertaking various special concrete tasks.” Ma Xinfeng said.
It is known in the industry that the overall energy consumption of the ready-mixed commercial concrete industry is relatively high. The comprehensive energy consumption index of the production equipment is an important indicator to judge the technical level of the enterprise. Gusheng Company adopts advanced energy-saving technology and equipment to maximize the effective use of energy. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit product is 0.32Kg of standard coal, and the comprehensive energy consumption is at the domestic advanced level.
The continuous flowing Tonglu Canal is gradually transitioning from the navigation function to the ecological function. It is an important clear water channel and ecological control area in the main urban area. After the Gusheng Company set up camp on the bank of the canal, the bad situation that people were worried about did not appear at all, but instead added a beautiful view to the Tonglu Canal. How does it do it? Mao Jun told reporters that the successful establishment and commissioning of projects in such areas cannot be separated from the persistent pursuit of environmental protection and harmonious development. From the beginning of the establishment of Gusheng Company, the establishment of the factory has set the original intention of becoming an “industry benchmark”. The enterprise has built a large-scale, high starting point, established an advanced large-scale ready-mixed commercial concrete production base, and integrated humanistic benefits, social benefits, economic benefits and environmental benefits. benefits are fully combined. The factory area consists of a concrete mixing building, a material warehouse, a solid waste storage, a filter press room, an auto repair workshop, an office building, two production plants and a reserved warehouse. Following the concept of total closure and zero pollution, a complete set of sewage and sludge treatment systems (pipe network, sand and gravel separation, sewage recycling and solid waste storage systems) have been built to achieve 100% treatment of the generated solid waste and sewage. Water reuse; set up the city’s first centralized ashore disposal point for ship pollutants at the wharf; gantry-type car washing machines can ensure that vehicles do not carry mud on the road, and the production plant area is fully arranged from wharf unloading, warehouse storage and transportation, processing and mixing to finished product shipments Dust suppression device and dust noise monitoring system realize green production of environmental protection. Set up a green isolation belt between the production area and the office and living areas, and set up tall trees around the green isolation belt and the factory area to prevent dust and noise. Build a new garden-style factory area with reasonable layout, green environmental protection, energy saving and high efficiency, and beautiful environment.
Based on the positioning of the industry benchmark, Gusheng has continuously improved the level of environmental protection. In terms of raw material handling and unloading, the practice of directly erecting port machinery on the bank of the canal by similar enterprises nearby was not adopted, but the port basin was excavated. Dust and exhaust gases are kept away from the river. Continue to increase investment to establish a complete system consisting of gantry car washing machine, sewage treatment system (pipe network, sand and gravel separation, sewage recycling and solid waste storage four subsystems), silo spray device, and sprinkler fog cannon. A comprehensive and multi-dimensional environmental protection management guarantee system has obtained five utility model patent certificates for environmental protection facilities, and realized four “enclosed operation in the production area, full hardening and greening of the factory floor, full coverage of spray equipment in the dust-raising operation area, and full recovery of production wastewater”. “Complete”, pollution prevention and control has no dead ends. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the city’s ship pollution prevention and control actions, the city’s first centralized ashore disposal point for ship pollutants was set up on the south side of the wharf. The corporate image of environmental protection and taking the initiative to take social responsibility.
The reporter went to almost every corner of the company. Ships docked in an orderly manner in the harbor, the work site was clean, the workshop was quiet, the building was beautiful, and the greenery was lush. It was a real “canal view”, and even the dusty and mechanically roaring mixing workshop was in the impression. It has also been replaced by an advanced production line that is completely closed and the air is fresh and quiet.
Striving for excellence and development
Committed to “Solid the foundation of the city, the flower of prosperous city construction”
The three girls are sitting in front of the large operating console, with dense computer screens in front of them, looking up at the large monitoring screen full of walls, pressing buttons and giving instructions to the microphone from time to time… This kind of work scene is not in the It depicts the work scene of Zhou Chengyu, the mission commander of Chang’e 5, but the daily work of the machine operation team of Gusheng Company. The 8 girls with Chen Yanxia as the team leader are responsible for the operation of 3 mixing production lines. During working hours, they have to change out of their beautiful clothes and high heels, put on anti-static work clothes, and put their mobile phones in a uniform bag and sit in front of the screen. 8 hours.
monitoring roomTheir most important daily work is to keep an eye on the operation of each conveyor belt, control the mixing time of the main engine, confirm the docking of the vehicles and arrange the loading. After loading, enter the production information and print the vehicle receipts. The on-board ticket is installed in a small ball that can be opened and closed in half, and is sent to the driver from the central control room through a pipeline. Once the balls are not closed in place, the balls will be scattered and the bills will fall, which will affect the production efficiency. If the bills are lost, it may also lead to economic risks. For the smooth sliding of each ball, after each assembly, they have to rotate the ball slightly to ensure that the process does not spread. With a single twist, they have to repeat it 100,000 times a year. The plastic ball, which is not reflective, gradually becomes smoother and even reflective.
Every ordinary Gusheng people write extraordinary work performance with perseverance.
Guo Zhifeng is the general manager in charge of the machine control room and the project site, and is a bridge for communicating project requirements and production arrangements. As long as the project is not poured, it is a working state for Guo Zhifeng. In 2021, he will be responsible for scheduling tasks with major projects such as the West Railway Station area, rail transit, Jianghai Avenue East Extension Elevation, etc., docking 16,670 task orders without a single error; dispatching 1,800 vehicles of various types, and working with construction personnel to achieve ” “Friendly” communication, handling more than 40 emergencies, which perfectly reflects the professional qualities that an excellent dispatcher should have. “One piece of scheduling information can’t be wrong. If one is wrong, it will result in the return of materials and scrapping, which will bring waste and losses to the company.” Relying on the responsibility of “Guo Zhifeng” Gusheng employees, Gusheng Company has retreated throughout the year. The material rate and scrap rate are only 13/13 of the industry average, minimizing waste.
The relevant person in charge of Gusheng Company said with emotion: “Each of our employees is like a screw, firmly nailed to his post and plays a role with all his strength!” Xia Wenyu, an employee of the Marketing Department in charge of bidding and contract management , He has successfully completed various tasks in seemingly ordinary and boring positions in the past two years. She has completed more than 50 inquiry and bidding projects and more than 40 bidding projects.
