Jasper under the blue sky(2005/12/05)
As the ancient literators say: the natural jasper is like the lotus coming out of clear water. The jade is a symbol of nobility, representing people's good wishes and blessing. The Jasper Tower is just like the beautiful jade of Zhongrong Group, symbolizing Zhongrong's spirit of being friendly, modest, hard working, enterprising and self-improving.
Since starting construction of project Jasper Tower, all the staff in the project department have been holding together and completed the construction of peg, underground diaphragm wall, basement flooring, structural construction of three underground floors as well as well as inspection of deep foundation pit and construction of steel structure, etc.
While the heated construction is under way on the building spot, the management personnel and the workers are all working overtime. Currently, 12 steel poles for the first part of core in the main building have UNDER THE BLUE SKY
been installed, examined and positioned. The colligation work of the steel bars is under way right now. The 18 steel tubes and poles in main building have all been fixed and the concrete pouring and smashing of the steel tubes has been completed. Backout of the first batch of supporting steel bars has come to an end, leaving little for manual backout. Colligation of steel bars in the north of back pouring belt of B1F has been finished. In section II, colligation of girder bars and flooring of templets are under way. Scaffold of steel poles for the sloping girder has been set up. It is planed to carry out concreting and pouring of Section I in the north of B1F from Nov. 3 on.
It is predicted that structural construction beneath ¡À0.000 will be finished by Nov. 15, 2005 and construction of overground main structure will formally start, indicating a new stage of project of Jasper Tower. Main structure will be completed by the end of year 2006; decoration and installation of water, power, air conditioning facilities will be started in the beginning of year 2007; equipment debugging, comprehensive debugging and trial operation of water, power and air condition facilities will start in the first half of year 2008 and in the same year the whole project will pass the examination and acceptance on completion and be delivered to the owners.
In the course of whole engineering management, staff of the project department pool their ideas and make concerted and united efforts to solve a series of technical problems such as the construction of deep foundation pit, consolidation of foundation pit, construction and backout of supporting structure, temperature control of ground floor concrete, and connection of steel bars of underground diaphragm, etc., accumulating precious experience for construction of foundation. Besides, the project department has also made active coordination between construction unit and design unit and trusted professional supervision unit to ensure the construction security and engineering quality of the project with the deepest foundation pit in the minor Lujiazui area. The project has also realized the goal of ¡°no accident in construction and quality¡± and passed the examination and acceptance of building sites of civilized construction in Shanghai. All these above factors make a successful starting point and lay a solid foundation for project of Jasper Tower to ensure ¡°Bai Yu Lan Award¡± and win ¡°Luban Award¡±.
All the managing personnel in the department of Jasper Tower firmly believe that under the leadership of Chairman Ni, we will build the project of Jasper Tower into a landmark project of Zhongrong Group. Through our hard working and accumulating managing experience and with an open mind, a sense of duty and responsibility and energetic enthusiasm, we will make full play of our intelligence and conscientiousness to do our contribution in Zhongrong's fast and steady development.
We will take more pride in telling others: ¡°I am one of Zhongrong family and I am proud of that.
