Lush transformation and upgrading

Kou xinwen

Introduction

On August 28, 2020, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, the Ministry of education, the Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of natural resources, the Ministry of ecological environment, the people's Bank of China, the State Administration of market supervision and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued several opinions on accelerating the industrialization of new buildings, which pointed out that we should vigorously promote EPC, Cultivate EPC enterprises with comprehensive management ability. This is the general trend of the development of the construction industry and the only way for the group to achieve high-quality sustainable development. At present, Maosheng international engineering branch is transforming from electromechanical Contractor to general contractor in time according to market dynamics and group requirements, playing a leading role in the process of group transformation and upgrading.

The season is approaching light snow, and the winter sun is as warm as spring. On the morning of November 19, the author walked into the site of the opening guest project located in Kangqiao Industrial Zone, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, east of tangxin highway and north of xiupu Road, and interviewed Yin Weibiao, member of the Party committee of the group company, deputy general manager and head of Maosheng International Engineering branch, who is focusing on project management. Although the interview time is not long, the transformation and upgrading of Maosheng branch described by Mr. Yin Weibiao is exciting and thought-provoking.

A GC project with extremely complex construction environment

Costco Wholesale Corporation, also known as Costco, is the second largest retailer in the United States, the seventh largest retailer in the world and the first Dalian lock membership warehouse type mass merchandiser in the United States. It was established in Seattle, Washington in 1983. Opening customers have more than 500 branches in nine countries and regions around the world, most of which are located in the United States.

This year, Maosheng international engineering branch of the group contracted to build the market opener in the form of general construction contract. This is the second flagship store invested by the United States in Shanghai (the first is in Minhang, Shanghai). The project has attracted much social attention, and the contract price is 280 million yuan. Yin Weibiao said that in recent years, Yin Weidong, chairman of the group company, advocated EPC and Maosheng branch actively practiced it. It began to learn to grow in transformation and upgrading and made great progress. By the end of November, the newly signed contract amount reached 1.2 billion and the annual construction output value is expected to exceed 1.5 billion. It is thriving and leads the transformation and upgrading of the group.

For the market starters contracted by Maosheng branch, the GC project is foreign-funded and the construction environment is extremely complex. Yin Weibiao frankly said that Maosheng is now walking on two legs with electromechanical subcontracting and general construction contracting. Compared with simple MEP, GC project also needs to have the coordination and organization ability of all parties. The station and level are different, and the requirements for all aspects of the company are more and stricter. Many engineering problems need to be solved by the general contractor. This "market starter" project takes up a lot of his time and energy. Every Friday morning, he holds a video conference with the market starter headquarters in Seattle to report the project construction.

Yin Weibiao introduced that the requirements for EPC projects are higher in all aspects. Not to mention that the United States has conducted a background investigation on the company for one and a half months, nor the loss of profits of projects dominated by steel structures due to the sharp rise of raw materials, Maosheng has been challenged by the complex construction environment of "market opener" alone.

Costco is only 20 meters away from Kangxin highway station of Metro Line 11. It is very difficult to excavate a large basement of 27000 square meters. A little carelessness will affect the operation safety of the subway station. Therefore, the "market opener" deep foundation pit operation has been upgraded to the first level of environmental safety protection. At the end of February this year, the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission organized 7 senior experts to carry out the review. The basement is divided into area a and area B, and the construction is extremely difficult. There are as many as 12 construction methods involved in smooth and deep foundation pit operation. Qiu Dapeng, a 40 year old project manager, graduated from the Department of civil engineering of Tongji University with 17 years of working experience. Recalling the project in such a complex environment, I am very moved. Qiu Dapeng said that the project has also experienced their career. Combined with the expert demonstration and the opinions of the Design Institute, they set up many alarm devices in the subway station. On the premise of ensuring the absolute safety of the subway station, they completed the construction of area a in two months. The project has also withstood the test of extreme weather such as typhoon and earthquake, and the operation meets the design requirements. On November 22, the construction of area B will begin. In order to cope with the complex construction environment of "market opening", the temporary construction of the project department has also been relocated on the construction site for many times. There is only one access, and a large amount of earthwork needs to be transported to Yangkou and other places by special vehicles.

See a leaf and know the late autumn, see a spot and see the whole leopard. Yin Weibiao concluded that EPC project is the development direction of the construction industry. He must do a good job in the construction general contracting project step by step to comprehensively improve the comprehensive quality of the company.

Impressive performance comes from historical accumulation

Established in 2016, Maosheng international engineering branch mainly undertakes foreign-funded projects involving biopharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, manufacturing, etc. Over the past five years, Maosheng has made great achievements in the field of foreign investment with its unyielding spirit of fighting for honor. Since its establishment, it has cooperated with many international well-known management companies in good faith, including bien, cochramon, enyifama, Turner Townsend, Aikang, CBRE, Lianshi, etc. it has successively participated in Xi'an Janssen, Suzhou Roche diagnosis, Hangzhou Pfizer, Hangzhou Yi'an Jishi, Chongming wisdom Island, Hefei Corning, Johnson Controls, Nantong Merck, Nantong Carey, Xinchang SKF Suzhou Johnson & Johnson, Cinda biology, Hangzhou moshadong, East China medicine, Suzhou shuotang, Shanghai Siemens diagnostics, Ningbo moshadong, Suzhou Kangri Baiao, Taicang lijieshi, Suzhou Sanofi, Sichuan whisky, Sichuan Shuyang, Tianjin Wutian, Taicang Nike O2, Tianjin Chaoya, Hangzhou Fuyuan, Pudong market opener, qidongxipula, Shanghai Estee Lauder, Nantong pumis On site technical services for Suzhou okonview, Suzhou Shangmei L'Oreal, lanweston, Hangzhou Jianxin force and other projects.

Yin Weibiao said with a smile: these belong to the past. Maosheng's performance this year mainly benefits from opportunities. It is "good luck!"

From the industrial tourism project of Pernod Ricard malt whisky in France at the foot of Mount Emei, to Shangmei L'Oreal in Suzhou, and then to the world's second-largest potato chip base in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, cosmetics, food, cosmetics, retail and biomedicine, this year's prosperity involves a large number of construction general contracting fields. One project after another has achieved fruitful results and outstanding performance, and mainly focuses on medicine. Yin Weibiao is full of ambition after reviewing the prosperous and impressive performance in 2021.

In recent years, with the spread of COVID-19 and the increasing competition between China and the United States, the state has introduced various preferential policies to encourage overseas successful people to return to business, and many innovative medicines have come into being. Since the second half of last year, Maosheng has been undertaking various innovative pharmaceutical projects, from Zhenge and Zhenhao with an investment of 130 million to Nantong pumis with a contract of 380 million, from Jianxin force to BISS bio and semefei Thermofisher, this kind of innovative medicine alone amounted to about 800 million, accounting for about 80% of the annual performance of Maosheng. Yin Weibiao said that many of the owners came here with admiration and even asked Maosheng to undertake projects.

No one can achieve success casually, and no enterprise can simply undertake projects. Opportunities are always given to people who are prepared and always favor quality enterprises. Without these five years of honest management and good reputation in the industry, there is no "fight for honor" It is impossible to seize this development opportunity and achieve such impressive achievements.

Excellent team is the greatest magic weapon to defeat opponents

Wei Wei, a strong woman more than 40 years old and a lush "Mu Guiying", has a magnetic charm and bright voice. He is responsible for the technical management of Maosheng international engineering branch, and is technically superior to others in deepening the design and BIM application. At present, he manages a design team of more than 40 people, grasps a set of architectural figures that fit the actual situation of the project site, and has become an important think tank for Maosheng to win the market.

Zhenge bio is a macromolecular biopharmaceutical developer, established in 2017. Its core business is macromolecular biopharmaceutical cdmo service, and mammalian cell culture medium development and production. After completing the round B financing of US $70 million, Zhenge plans to build a 6500 square meter R & D GMP production integrated service platform. Zhenge bio has determined the bid winner, but when it learned of lush professional ability In addition, an additional 2 million yuan was awarded to Maosheng design team to reward Maosheng's professional contribution.

EPC projects are generally characterized by high investment, complex professional technology and difficult management. It is the only way for enterprises to realize transformation and upgrading and seek high-quality development. Yin Weibiao knows that EPC is one of their own pursuit, but as a general contractor, it should first establish a strong project management organization and equip corresponding managers Yin, strengthen the coordination of design, procurement and construction, improve and optimize the design, improve the construction scheme, and realize the effective management and control of EPC projects. In particular, the EPC project manager shall be familiar with engineering technology, EPC project management knowledge, relevant laws, regulations, standards and specifications, and have strong organization and coordination ability and good professional ethics Weibiao believes that without high-quality project management talents and technical talents, it will not be able to implement the requirements of "focusing on project management" of the group company, but will inevitably have a negative impact on project quality and professional quality.

On November 28, Maosheng held an online and offline year-end project summary meeting in Shanghai. Strengthening the self-education and training of EPC project manager has become Maosheng's daily course.

At present, Maosheng has 360 management personnel who are dedicated to various projects. Maosheng branch has nine functional departments: General Office, design management department, commercial bidding department, budget department, human resources department, finance department, procurement department, contract management department and project department. There are more than 300 employees, covering civil engineering, steel structure, pipeline, electrical, HVAC, fire protection, hoisting, safety, etc There are four majors, including 4 senior engineers, 8 intermediate engineers and 20 class I and II constructors.

In order to become an enterprise with EPC capacity in design, procurement and construction, Yin Weibiao invested in the acquisition of a design institute and built prefabricated chemical plants such as air ducts and pipelines in Kunshan and Qidong, so as to accumulate more strength for the cultivation of EPC.

epilogue

Be good at judging the situation, gathering talents and building a cooperative interest community based on integrity. This is undoubtedly the key to Maosheng's market control and successful transformation and upgrading. In my opinion, courage, professionalism, integrity, talents, opportunities and accumulation... These seem to be the successful ways of transformation and upgrading of Maosheng International Engineering Branch. But the road is simple, from MEP to GC We hope that more of our branches in Jiangsu Qi'an will learn from the successful transformation of lush and contribute to building a century long Qi'an cause!
