en.Wedoany.com Reported - On the morning of May 9, the foundation pouring for the Unit 1 turbine pedestal at the SPIC Qianzhan Power Plant Project in Jieyang, Guangdong, China, commenced smoothly. The pouring operation utilized three pump trucks working simultaneously. The pedestal, measuring 56.15 meters in length and 15 meters in width, required a total of 1,900 cubic meters of concrete. This milestone marks the project's official entry into the critical phase of main structure construction, creating necessary conditions for the subsequent installation of the steam turbine body and the timely commissioning of the unit.
As the core structure of a thermal power plant, the turbine pedestal bears the operational weight of equipment such as the steam turbine and generator, and must withstand long-term, high-frequency vibration loads. With its complex internal structure and numerous embedded parts and conduits, the construction precision and quality requirements are extremely stringent. The project department upholds the core value of "Excellence Leads to the Future" and practices the "Four Refinements Management Philosophy," integrating lean management throughout the entire construction process.
To ensure pouring quality, the project department organized a joint internal inspection across all disciplines before pouring, followed by a joint acceptance inspection with the supervision unit and the owner. This involved a comprehensive review of processes including rebar binding, formwork support, and embedded part installation. Prior to the start of pouring, a specialized safety and technical disclosure meeting was held to explain in detail the key construction technical points, quality control standards, emergency plans, and safety precautions, clarifying the responsibilities of all parties. During pouring, three high-performance pump trucks operated simultaneously, with an optimized concrete placement scheme to ensure continuity and uniformity and prevent cold joints. Technical personnel and safety and quality management staff conducted real-time inspections of formwork reinforcement and support systems, monitoring key indicators such as concrete slump and vibration density. All participating personnel worked in a two-shift system (day and night), performing tasks like concrete discharge, placement, pouring, and vibration on the rebar work surface, an activity known within the industry as a "dance on the rebar."
The successful completion of the Unit 1 turbine pedestal foundation pouring creates the necessary conditions for the subsequent installation of core equipment such as the condenser and turbo-generator. This project is a key construction project in Guangdong Province and the first million-kilowatt class coal-fired power plant project in the province to be constructed using the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) general contracting model. Once completed, it will help optimize Guangdong Province's energy structure and ensure the security of power supply.
Looking ahead, the project department will focus on the goal of high-standard commissioning, deepen lean management, strictly implement intrinsic safety requirements, closely monitor construction milestones, and steadily advance project construction, striving to create a high-quality, benchmark energy project.
