  While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, Tianjin promotes high-quality development by grasping projects and stabilizing investment.

  April 5, south bank of Haihe River, Jinnan District, Tianjin. With the roar and rotation of piling machinery, pile foundations were laid one by one, and the second phase of the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin) project with a total investment of 17.5 billion yuan was officially started to undertake the landmark project of Beijing’s non-capital function relief. This is another significant progress after the project resumed work on February 20.

  On March 27th, 20 kilometers away from the southeast of Jizhou City, Tianjin, three large excavators broke ground, and a pit with a depth of more than 4 meters was excavated and formed, extending southward. This is the first trans-regional, long-distance and large-diameter heat transmission pipeline in Tianjin — — The construction site of Jibao cogeneration project. Through this pipeline, the two major power plants in Jizhou will send heat supply to Baodi City to realize clean heating, which can replace about 270,000 tons of standard coal every year.

  Up to now, 95 major projects in Tianjin, such as energy and pipelines, have resumed work, and the rate of resumption of work has reached 96.8%, exceeding the national average. 100% of 11 key traffic engineering projects including expressways, water transport and high-speed railways in the city have resumed work. 101 municipal housing construction and municipal infrastructure key projects all resumed work.

  At present, nearly 150,000 builders are fighting on more than 2,900 construction sites in Tianjin, and no epidemic has occurred, with stable prevention and control and safe construction.

  "Based on the prevention and control of the epidemic, through grasping projects and stabilizing investment, major projects will be fully resumed, which will effectively promote the high-quality development of Tianjin." Wei Guangyong, deputy director of the Tianjin Development and Reform Commission, said.

  One project, one scheme, putting employee safety first.

  At the construction site of Liyuantou Depot of Tianjin Metro Line 10 of China Railway Sixth Bureau, a "point-to-point" special car will take the first-line construction workers from their homes to the project department of the construction site and return to work safely. Liu Zhichen, the project manager, said that the staff who returned to work this time were all from Hebei Province. They strictly wore masks and took their temperature, and they were seated in different places according to 50% of the approved passengers. Special personnel were assigned to explain the safety protection knowledge in the car, and they were also observed in isolation after getting off the bus, so as to ensure that the epidemic prevention and construction production were correct.

  In order to ensure safe return to work and efficient construction, the project department combines "online+offline" and "civil air defense+technical defense", and uses big data to accurately monitor the health status of employees through health codes. The construction site of Metro Line 10 is scattered, and the project department arranges special buses to transport workers to and from work. The dining hall is fully enclosed and packed separately. The reporter saw at the scene that the construction site was divided into several modules, which opened the distance, and the workers "modularized" their operations to reduce the gathering of people. "The prevention and control procedures are fully implemented to ensure that the health and safety of employees are always in the first place." Liu Zhichen stressed.

  In order to co-ordinate the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the resumption of work, Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission has formulated and promulgated the Guiding Opinions on the Start and Resumption of Work during the Prevention and Control of Epidemic Situation of Tianjin Traffic Construction Projects, etc., so as to promote the start and resumption of work of traffic construction projects in an orderly manner. Liu Daogang, deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission, said that in view of the location of the project and the characteristics of the project itself, the prevention and control requirements should be refined in accordance with the "one project, one scheme", "one bid section, one scheme" and "one work site, one scheme", and staff inspection, internal management and information reporting should be strengthened, and staff dining, personal hygiene, dormitory management, disinfection and cleaning, and use of protective equipment should be strictly managed to ensure the implementation of prevention and control measures and the safety of construction personnel.

  The approval of returning to work is not done in person, and the departments provide service guarantee in coordination.

  Behind the resumption of a major engineering project, there are often a series of factors such as capital, employment, land and raw materials, as well as the service guarantee of many departments and policies.

  "Affected by the epidemic, the project encountered some difficulties in materials, personnel and procedures, but the second phase of the project still started as scheduled, which was the result of the coordination of Tianjin, the district government and various departments." Guo Jiyu, project manager of the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin), said that many engineering materials are from processing plants in Hubei, Hebei and Anhui, and the smooth progress of the project is inseparable from the cooperation between Tianjin and several provinces.

  The examination and approval of resumption of work under the condition of epidemic prevention and control is a "special matter", and Tianjin has implemented the "no meeting" office, which has been a green light all the way. In terms of employment, no matter how far the journey is, the transportation department coordinates the transportation enterprises to send special personnel to help employees return to their posts in an orderly manner "point-to-point, door-to-door and person-to-person". In terms of land use, the planning and natural resources departments pre-examine in advance, and also help enterprises to supply raw materials and equipment. In terms of electricity consumption, power companies have strengthened power conservation, and there is no case in the city that the power supply affects the normal start-up and resumption of work projects. In terms of examination and approval, we will open up a green channel, reduce matters, materials, links, licenses and time limits, and implement the letter-to-certificate and commitment system for the preliminary work items in the list of major projects. In terms of funds, "combination boxing" supports the "money bag" of enterprises — — Issue the first batch of annual plans for municipal government investment this year to ensure the construction of key projects; Actively strive for the support of funds and special bonds in the central budget, screen the list of six batches of local government special bond preparation projects, and issue special bond funds in two batches; Cooperate with financial institutions to provide special loans and exclusive financial services with preferential loan interest rates to projects that meet the policy requirements.

  On February 20th, the PPP project of Tianjin Xiqing Domestic Waste Comprehensive Treatment Plant took the lead in resuming work, which was the first project under construction at the municipal and district levels in Tianjin to resume work. "Under the premise of strictly implementing the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, we will list the key livelihood projects, general livelihood projects and other projects in order, and promote the resumption of work in an orderly manner." Gao Huaiying, director of the Investment Department of Tianjin Development and Reform Commission, for example, said that according to the construction environment, priority should be given to promoting projects with good ventilation and many outdoor operations to resume work; According to the characteristics of the project, priority should be given to organizing linear projects far away from the central city and point projects with good sealing; According to the construction operation, shield construction, pile foundation construction, earthwork excavation and other projects with less migrant workers and high mechanized operation rate are given priority, and the rapid start-up and resumption of work can be realized by optimizing the operation procedures.

  Push forward the wall chart operation item by item to ensure the construction quality is not compromised.

  At 18: 00 on April 1st, at the site of the 220kV power transmission and transformation project of the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin), the construction workers are scattered at three operating points in the station, keeping a distance of more than 1m, respectively carrying out outdoor cable trench construction, concrete construction and steel structure external wall panel installation.

  In the office area, Chen Yankun, the project manager, marked the progress of the project in detail with pens of different colors on the dense forms, as well as possible risk points and early warning levels. "The purpose of the wall chart operation is to clearly advance item by item to ensure the quality and duration of the project." Chen yukun said. This year, Tianjin Power Grid invested 11.3 billion yuan, with a total of 66 projects started and 89 key construction projects put into operation, driving social investment of about 22 billion yuan. It not only provides sufficient power guarantee for major projects such as convention and exhibition center and Jingbin high-speed railway construction, but also comprehensively builds a 500 kV "double-ring network" to enhance the coordination and linkage ability of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei power grid and the risk resistance ability of Tianjin power grid.

  It is understood that Tianjin adheres to both epidemic prevention and safety production, and strictly regulates on-site supervision and verification on the premise of no approval, no filing and no threshold, and implements the main responsibility of project quality and safety to ensure that the construction quality is not discounted due to epidemic prevention and control.

  There are many upstream and downstream enterprises in the construction engineering industry, and the product supply chain is long. The Tianjin Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development coordinates and mobilizes the strength of industry associations, organizes industry associations such as building materials, concrete, steel curtain walls, doors and windows, and builds a bridge between construction enterprises and upstream and downstream enterprises, so as to promote 404 building materials enterprises with a certain scale, such as cement, concrete, steel, assembled building materials, architectural glass and thermal insulation materials, to resume production and ensure the supply of building materials. Up to now, the two-level housing and urban-rural construction departments in Tianjin have organized 17,480 people to inspect the construction site for 34,573 times, and always stressed that strengthening the prevention and control of epidemic situation should not have any impact on the project quality.

  At the same time, solidly promote the implementation of the policy of "benefiting enterprises", cancel the construction drawing review for some projects, optimize the bid evaluation and calibration procedures for construction projects, and incorporate the cost of epidemic prevention measures into the project cost. Many practical measures have been taken, such as simplifying the online processing process of construction permits, extending the validity period of various qualification certificates, and applying force majeure clauses in contracts, to promote the construction projects to start and resume work in an orderly manner.
