【Project Assault】The Steel Backbones Under the Scorching Heat of 40℃

In July, the Qilu land is scorched by heat waves. At the construction site of the 7-effect evaporation station on the eastern line of the Shandong Aluminum Plant project contracted by Henan Jiuye Chemical Equipment Co., Ltd., a tough battle against time is unfolding. On July 7th, as the 5-effect separation chamber was accurately positioned, this steel equipment weighing dozens of tons was successfully hoisted by the workers of Jiuye.In July, the Qilu land is scorched by heat waves.

【High-Temperature "Test"】Construction Logs Soaked in Sweat

"At 8 a.m., the thermometer showed 32℃, and the surface of the equipment was too hot to touch directly." In the construction log of the project manager, the extreme challenges of recent days are recorded. To complete the project delivery within the original schedule, the construction team of Jiuye Chemical has been working continuously for more than 10 hours under the scorching sun. Sweat under the safety helmets drips down their cheeks onto the steel structures; their work clothes get soaked, then dry up, and are covered with layers of salt stains. Yet, not a single person has left their post—they are well aware that each day's delay in this evaporation station, which serves alumina production, will directly affect the subsequent release of ton-level production capacity.

【Technical Tackling】Precise Collaboration Under the Scorching Sun

The hoisting difficulty of the 5-effect separation chamber far exceeded expectations: with a height of 12.6 meters and a diameter of 4.3 meters, the equipment needed to be hoisted with a 360-degree turn in the narrow gap between workshops. Faced with various risks under high-temperature conditions, the technical team optimized the plan overnight and installed laser rangefinders at the lifting points to calibrate deviations in real time. The workers, enduring the scalding temperature of the steel structures, precisely tapped the adjusting shims with hand hammers. Every millimeter-level calibration was accompanied by sweat dripping from their foreheads. "Clothes can be wrung out of water, but the equipment error must not exceed 2 millimeters," said Lao Wang, a welder, which embodies the persistence of Jiuye people in craftsmanship.

【Project Schedule Sprint】Interpreting "Jiuye Speed" with Persistence

To make up for the brief delay in the construction period caused by the extreme heat, the team has adopted a "day-and-night" shift mode: focusing on the main equipment during the day and conducting bolt tightening and anti-corrosion treatment at night. Although temporary sunshades have been set up at the site, they cannot dampen the workers' determination to "race against time and secure key milestones". When the last anchor bolt of the 5-effect separation chamber was tightened, the applause that broke out on site was mixed with the滋滋 sound of sweat dripping onto the ground—a mark of struggle carved by Jiuye people on the Qilu land with their down-to-earth spirit.

【Project Significance】The Capacity Code Behind the Evaporation Station

Once completed, this 7-effect evaporation station will increase the alumina mother liquor processing capacity by 40% and save more than 150,000 tons of steam energy annually. The successful hoisting of the 5-effect separation chamber this time not only marks that the installation of the project's core equipment has entered the sprint stage, but also demonstrates the corporate responsibility of Jiuye Chemical of "marching forward  in the face of difficulties" amid high-temperature adversity. As the project manager put it, "Steel can be scorched by high temperatures, but the craftsmanship spirit of Jiuye people remains forever burning."

【Conclusion】

While people in the city, enjoying air conditioning, complain about the unbearable heat of the scorching summer, there are always a group of people who, under the scorching sun, prop up the backbone of industry with their own backs. Salute to all the builders fighting on the front lines of construction—your dripping sweat will eventually condense into the brilliant light of "Made in China"!
