Recently, by the CCCC·Dredging and Port Construction Intelligent Manufacturing Center, undertaken by CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd., successfully completed its underground structure construction in its the renovation and expansion project and fully reached the "top-out of basement level," marking the official transition of the project into the new phase of the main above-ground structure construction. This stands a milestone, which not only lays a solid foundation for subsequent project development but also injects strong momentum into the establishment of Songjiang District's "2+7" modern industrial system of Shanghai.
Located in Sijing Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, the project spans a total site area of 22,000 square meters, with a planned gross floor area of 48,600 square meters. It comprises five industrial buildings, one supporting facility center, and over 260 vehicle parking spaces. Aligning closely with Songjiang District’s "2+7" industrial layout in terms of its functional positioning, the project focuses on strategic emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, high-end equipment, and biomedicine, while simultaneously integrating producer services, with the aim of establishing a high-end industrial cluster integrating R&D, production, and service functions. As a pilot project under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) for revitalizing central enterprises' existing land and buildings, as well as a major construction project in Songjiang District, the CCCC·Dredging and Port Construction Intelligent Manufacturing Center renovation and expansion initiative carries a critical mission to fuel regional industrial upgrading and support the development of a sci-tech innovation hub. Upon completion, the project will serve as a core platform to attract high-quality manufacturing firms and innovation-driven entities, thus offering end-to-end services spanning from technology commercialization to scaled production. It will further strengthen Songjiang’s industrial cluster advantages in fields like AI and biomedicine, accelerate the aggregation of advanced productivity factors, and contribute to building a modern regional economic system.
Starting at Full Sprint: Fast-Tracking Construction with High-Efficiency Management
Since its launch, the construction team has operated in full sprint mode. Following the 'safety first, measured progress' doctrine, managers have orchestrated precise execution through an optimized field coordination system, maximizing resource efficiency to drive project advancement at full speed.
The project team innovatively implemented a closed-loop management model of "inspection-meeting-feedback-optimization": conducting daily on-site patrols to precisely control construction details; holding morning meetings to clarify daily tasks and objectives; and organizing quality production meetings to promptly review progress and optimize workflows. Through the refined management approach, all joints were achieved ahead of or on schedule, securing valuable time for project construction.
Tech-Driven: Smart Construction Delivers Express Speed
Upholding the concept of technological empowerment, the team deeply integrated lean construction with intelligent building, and actively explored innovative practical paths. The project department has carried out independent innovation and innovative design of test piles, with the compressive design value of the piles increased by 23%, and the total optimized pile length reaching 5,430 meters. At the same time, it has also optimized the engineering structure and curtain wall separation practices, upgraded the opening mode of roof skylights, protective materials for underground exterior walls, surfacing of accessible roofs, exterior wall waterproofing, and stair finishing practices. Through these efforts, it successfully achieved the effects of improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing construction efficiency.
At the same time, the project adopts the "BIM+" technology. It uses model construction to check errors, omissions, collisions and defects in drawings, optimizes the pipeline layout of the basement through building electromechanical model collision detection, improves transportation efficiency via BIM site layout simulation, conducts visual construction simulation to rehearse key nodes, and achieves lean construction of the project through data-driven approaches.
Fortifying Defenses: Weaving a Comprehensive Safety Net Through Rigorous Control
The project consistently prioritizes workplace safety, firmly upholds the safety-first development philosophy, and strictly adheres to the bottom line of production safety. We have established regular institutionalized mechanisms for safety inspections and emergency drills, conducting periodic safety hazard identification to ensure timely detection and elimination of risks. Concurrently, customized safety training and assessment programs are developed according to the characteristics of different construction phases, strengthening workers’ safety awareness and operational skills. Through continuously improving the safety management system, we ensure comprehensive safety coverage throughout all construction processes and stages, striving to achieve a zero-accident objective for the project.
The successful completion of the "Ground Level" milestone marks a significant achievement in the CCCC-Shunpu Intelligent Manufacturing Center renovation and expansion project. Moving forward, the project team will maintain high morale, strictly adhere to construction schedules, accelerate progress while ensuring engineering quality and safety, and deliver an exemplary project with craftsmanship. This will inject robust Shanghai Harbor Engineering Bureau momentum into Songjiang District's socioeconomic development.
