Side Slope Works of Wengdun Oil Depot at Sanming, Fujian, contracted and constructed by SNEI, has been completed recently at a high standard. Successful completion of this works has made it the first of side slope construction projects undertaken by SNEI in its history.
This project is located at the mountain on the northern side of Wengdun Oil Depot in Meilie District, Sanming city. The site is bounded by mountains on the eastern, western and northern sides. During the project construction, slopes were first excavated around the mountains and then they were leveled and constructed to form peripheral side slopes. Total area of the side slopes is approximately 3,000m2 and their total length is about 420m, with their general slope height being 5~26m. The quantities of slope supporting work were large and types of supporting were various, the construction (anchor cable) was highly professional, so special construction machines and tools, equipment and testing means were required, and requirement of technical quality control was strict throughout the project.
Since drilling for the first trial anchor cable was started on August 3, 2010, the project department has been trying its best to work actively as required by the client, develop a harmonious internal and external working atmosphere, and strengthen both internal and external coordination. This slope supporting and protection project is the first of its kind undertaken by SNEI, and SNEI has no experience in the construction of this field, this brought about great difficulties to the construction activities. But the project department fought hard and overcame the various difficulties. People from the project department and the subcontractors worked together to share hardships and remove every work barrier, during which they accumulated experiences one by one and accomplished extraordinary achievements, and win applauses from all related parties!
The side slope construction project at Wengdun Oil Depot has been successfully completed as per high standard, which enabled SNEI to make a breakthrough in terms of side slope construction project, and its performance in safe protection and quality control have also won good comments from both supervision companies and the client.
