At 09:57 a.m. on October 07, with the completion of the pouring of the last concrete of the intercooling tower wall, the intercooling tower of Unit 1 of Xinjiang Zhongneng Shitoumei 2×1 million kilowatt coal-fired power project was successfully capped.

The intercooling tower of Unit 1 was started on July 25, 2023, the pouring of the ring foundation was completed on October 12, 2023, and the hoisting of the X-inclined pillar of the steel pipe of the intercooling tower was completed on November 18, 2023. The first mold of the cylinder wall ring beam was poured on March 30, 2024. The wall of the intercooling tower is a thin-shell reinforced concrete structure, the height of the intercooling tower is 205m, the diameter of the outlet of the cylinder wall is 105.20m, the throat height: 150.675m, the throat diameter is 99.20m, the height of the air inlet is 33.30m (the bottom of the steel ring beam), and the diameter of the air inlet is 119.917m (the inner mold of the steel ring beam). The cylinder wall is supported by 46 pairs of concrete-filled steel tube X pillars.

Since the start of the project, the project department has actively overcome the difficulties of strong winds, sandstorms, bad weather, scorching heat, short annual effective construction period, and strong construction professionalism in Hami area, and the cylinder wall project has gone through 210 calendar days (including 53 days of windy weather and 157 days of actual effective construction), and completed the project milestone node project with high quality, laying a solid foundation for subsequent installation.

During the implementation of the project, in strict accordance with the principle of "advanced planning, process control, and one-time excellence", the construction safety and quality of the intercooling tower wall are always put in the first place, and each team is organized to optimize the construction plan, strengthen the safety management of the construction site, strictly implement the "safety regulations" and the "15 high-voltage lines" of Xinjiang Zhongneng Power Company, and implement the grading and acceptance system, and focus on the key quality control points and processes to ensure the safe and smooth completion of the construction of the intercooling tower.

The successful capping of the intercooling tower of Unit 1 embodies the excellent quality pursuit and excellent professional skills of our company, and the project management team will continue to be down-to-earth, forge ahead, and constantly climb the peak of construction technology to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
