According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, a commercial real estate project in the Zhuzhou-Tanzhou metropolitan area of Hunan Province has not been shut down during the Spring Festival. This is the 15th project that excavator Xu Zhengtao has participated in in in the past year. For the new year, he is full of hope: "If we start more machines, we can make more money."

The operating rate and operating volume of an excavator are aggregated into the "excavator index". In China, this index is regarded as one of the wind indicators of fixed asset investment and infrastructure construction.

The "18 # plant" of Sany Heavy Industry, located in Changsha, Hunan Province, is based on the tree-root Internet industrial platform, and the "excavator index" formed by hundreds of thousands of construction machinery and equipment leaps to the top.

This data shows that since the second day of the first lunar month, the construction boom has been gradually set off across the country, and the overall operating rate has risen steadily. Among them, the operating rate of Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and other places increased significantly.

In terms of classification, some regions performed well. For example, in January, the average workload of Sichuan stacker increased by 44.5% year on year, ranking first in the country; The average monthly workload of 9 types of equipment in Shaanxi increased year on year, reflecting the hot construction of local projects.

He Dongdong, co-founder and CEO of Shugen Internet, believed that after the Spring Festival, all parts of the country began to "fight for the economy" without stopping, and major projects were intensively started. The rise of the "excavator index" reflected the characteristics of economic stabilization and recovery and infrastructure growth.

The improvement of "excavator index" has been confirmed on many project construction sites.

The T3 terminal project of Changsha Airport Reconstruction and Expansion Project is the largest single public building project in Hunan Province. At the construction site in the charge of the General Contracting Company of China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau, more than 90 construction machinery and equipment, such as excavators, tower cranes, truck cranes, rotary drilling rigs, were roaring, and more than 400 construction workers were working hard. Huacheng's import and export data were observed and reported.

Li Xiaocong, the chief project technical engineer of the General Contracting Company of China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau, said that in previous years, the resumption of work at the construction site generally took place after the Lantern Festival. This year, the company made preparations in advance in terms of safety production and logistics support. The resumption of work was ahead of the seventh day of the first lunar month. At present, it is fully advancing towards the goal of fully capping the main structure.

According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, the General Contracting Company of China Construction Fifth Bureau has launched eight major projects in Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Sichuan and other places, covering urban renewal, science, education, culture and sanitation, municipal roads and other fields, with a total construction area of more than 1.3 million square meters, and strives to achieve a "good start" in the first quarter.

Major projects are the "tractor" of economic development. Recently, many cities have released the list of major projects in 2023, and the annual investment is generally high. For example, in the List of Major Projects in Jiangsu Province in 2023 released recently, there are 28 projects in Wuxi listed in the list of "implemented projects", with an annual planned investment of 20.05 billion yuan, an increase of 20.6% over the beginning of 2022.

Affected by this, the confidence of the construction machinery industry, which is closely related to the investment in fixed assets, has been boosted, and many enterprises have pressed the "acceleration key" of production.

Xie Changhong, deputy general manager of the manufacturing company of Sany Heavy Industry Pump Road Division, said that after the Spring Festival, the production plan of Sany concrete pump trucks increased significantly from about 100 units per month in the second half of last year to more than 240 units per month. Workshop workers worked overtime to produce. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

It is worth mentioning that in the investment list of all regions, there are not only traditional "railway public base", but also high-end equipment, new energy, digital economy and other industrial projects. For example, there are 191 formal projects planned for major projects in Shanghai this year, including 77 in the science and technology industry category, including Shangtang Technology Shanghai's next-generation AI computing and enabling platform project, ABB Robot Super Factory, etc.

Sun Ting, chairman of Hualun Bobang Project Management Co., Ltd., said that since the beginning of the year, all parts of China have strengthened project planning, increased investment, and promoted the development of emerging industries, releasing a positive signal of "stable growth and strong confidence".
