According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, the Qatar World Cup has been in full swing recently. Whether it is the main stadium of the World Cup, the athletes' village, or the hydropower projects and infrastructure that provide guarantee for the event, China has built a figure. What technology and construction strength does CSCEC have behind this? What is the confidence of CSCEC to be recognized?

China Construction went abroad

As the main venue of the World Cup, Lucille Stadium was constructed by China Railway Construction International Group Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Railway Construction Corporation. This project is the first time that Chinese enterprises have participated in the construction of the World Cup main stadium as a general contractor of design and construction, and it is also a landmark project for China and Qatar to jointly build the "the Belt and Road" in high quality.

Wang Lei, general manager of CRCC International Middle East Company, introduced that CRCC International defeated 11 bidders from 9 countries in the bidding process and finally won the general contract of Russell Stadium. As the project is jointly participated by a joint venture, and both parties of the joint venture share risks and profits, in order to adapt to the market trend and strengthen the integration with the partners, the company insists on winning trust through technology and business. From the early stage of follow-up bidding to the later stage of specific implementation, the project participants led by CRCC involved more than 200 enterprises in more than 50 countries, and established an efficient cooperation network covering the world.

"The Lucell Stadium project has reached the highest level of similar projects at home and abroad in terms of project scale, total investment, implementation difficulty, professional complexity, technical progressiveness, construction accuracy control requirements and other indicators. The company has done more than 240 optimization projects in the design, making the stadium construction more green, environmentally friendly and lower cost." Wang Lei said.

Qatar has no complete rivers and permanent lakes, resulting in an abnormal shortage of freshwater resources. The problem of water use for athletes and spectators during the World Cup needs to be solved urgently. Qatar strategic reservoir project came into being. The E bid project of the project was undertaken by China Energy Engineering Gezhouba Group. The project construction mainly includes two largest single reservoirs in the world certified by Guinness World Records, a large booster pump station and a series of supporting facilities.

"China Energy Construction once participated in the construction of the water distribution project in Subiya, Kuwait, and has accumulated experience in the construction of large reservoirs in desert arid areas. In addition, it has also participated in the construction of water plant projects in Ghana and other countries, and has made technical reserves for similar projects." A person from China Energy Construction said that the company has mastered the market norms and technical standards in the Middle East region, which has helped to successfully bid for Qatar's strategic reservoir project.

According to the Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, Wang Shenghui, an associate professor of the School of Business of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that the engineering construction industry is one of the earliest industries to achieve "going global" in China. A considerable number of Chinese engineering construction enterprises have been working in the international market for many years. The quality and level of engineering construction have been continuously improved, creating many eye-catching landmark projects, which has also become the best example of China's construction strength.

Chinese scheme won recognition

Qatar has a tropical desert climate with strong wind and sand and strong sunshine. The temperature exceeds 30 ℃ for more than 6 months in a year, and the maximum temperature can reach 50 ℃. The wind speed in desert areas often exceeds 60 kilometers per hour. The traditional construction technology is difficult to achieve ideal results in this environment, and the construction efficiency will also be affected.

The relevant personnel of China Energy Construction said that the personnel of Qatar Strategic Reservoir Project insisted on technical innovation and changed the concrete mix proportion so that the poured concrete would not have quality problems due to bad environment. The project construction is extremely strict in terms of engineering design, construction quality and management requirements.

During the construction of the Russell Stadium Project, CRCI also demonstrated the latest technology application. Wang Lei said that the project has carried out a lot of digital simulation in the early planning and design stage, and adopted leading intelligent construction technology in the construction stage. A systematic and comprehensive digital twin model has been formed in the project completion and delivery stage. It has become the first Chinese enterprise capable of deeply applying BIM technology in the full life cycle of the super large World Cup football stadium project, filling the gap in this field for Chinese enterprises.

Wang Yuanhui, the general manager of Guizhou Engineering Company affiliated to PowerChina, the constructor of Alcasa Power Station Project, introduced that the power station uses 1.8 million photovoltaic modules in total. The photovoltaic panel is equipped with a tracking system, which can automatically adjust the optimal angle according to the sunlight. The double-sided module can also maximize the use of ground reflected light for power generation.

Li Jin, the chief researcher of China Enterprise Research Institute and an expert on state-owned enterprises, believes that a higher level of opening up is reflected not only in products, but also in construction, services and other aspects. CSCEC is no longer an ordinary construction, but a high-level construction. It is the output of the whole industrial chain from products to services, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

Chinese enterprises gain trust

This World Cup is the first "carbon neutral" World Cup. In terms of energy supply, the Alcasa Power Station Project, the first photovoltaic power station in Qatar, which is EPC contracted by PowerChina, has contributed to the "Green" World Cup.

Ji Xiaoyong, chairman of China Power Construction Group International Engineering Co., Ltd., introduced that the Alcasa power station project is a model of third-party market cooperation and international capacity cooperation. The project developer is from Qatar, Japan and France. The EPC contractor is a joint venture formed by POWERCHINA as the parent company and its subsidiaries. The power plant design, consulting, equipment suppliers, etc. are from dozens of countries, and the composition of project subcontractors also fully reflects the integration of global resources.

"In the international competition, Chinese construction enterprises can gain more trust, which is mainly supported by technology and cost advantages." Chen Li, chief economist of Sichuan Finance Securities, said that Chinese construction enterprises have developed rapidly in recent years, and their cost advantages are significant by mastering core technologies to form competitiveness, coupled with efficient operation of the supply chain. At the same time, the policy strongly supports the development of high-end manufacturing industry, which is conducive to enhancing the core competitiveness of CSCEC and enhancing its competitive advantage.

"At present, Chinese enterprises are increasingly mature in technology and management concepts, and their performance ability has been recognized by international owners. It is believed that in the future, Chinese construction enterprises will have a stronger overall strength in the international construction field," said Wang Lei.

Wang Shenghui believes that Chinese construction enterprises should continue to make efforts in several aspects to better "go global". First, strengthen the construction of the standard system, promote the "going out" pace of Chinese engineering construction standards while engineering construction is "going out", and use the influence and voice of Chinese standards to further develop overseas markets; Second, further increase technology investment, enhance technical capacity, make breakthroughs in green construction, energy conservation and carbon reduction technologies through independent innovation, improve quality and efficiency, and enhance China's construction technology content; Third, accelerate the digital transformation, make full use of the latest digital technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, etc., improve the digital level of project design, construction and management, and accelerate the transformation of CSCEC to China's intelligent manufacturing.
