As the new year begins, good news continues to emerge. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the construction site of Shandong Energy's Liaocheng Xiangguang 2×660 MW combined heat and power project reached another milestone: at 10:57 AM on February 11,2026, the 204-meter-high outer chimney was successfully topped out, achieving the key pre-holiday objective.

As a critical supporting facility of the project, the chimney serves as the central hub for exhaust gas treatment and safe emissions from the power units. Its construction quality and progress directly determine the successful achievement of annual power generation targets. Since commencing in August 2025, the project has faced challenging conditions including the rainy season, winter cold temperatures, tight schedules, complex high-altitude operations, and stringent safety requirements—all posing significant obstacles to the topping-out ceremony. Nevertheless, all project participants overcame these challenges with determination, united in purpose and effort, and ultimately completed the chimney topping-out on schedule. This milestone not only marks a breakthrough in the main structural construction but also highlights the unity, collaboration, and resilience of Henan Second Construction Group's builders. It lays a solid foundation for the units' smooth post-holiday power generation, delivering an outstanding performance for the company through concrete actions.

The topping-out ceremony marks not an end, but a new beginning. The successful completion of this chimney phase has injected strong momentum and united the team's efforts for post-holiday project advancement. As the year-end approaches, the project team will diligently complete all post-topping-out tasks, strictly implement winter construction safety measures, and prepare for equipment maintenance and material stockpiling. Following the holiday, all participants will seize this milestone as an opportunity to build on this momentum and persist in their efforts. With renewed determination, a pragmatic approach, and robust measures, they will fully commit to advancing subsequent construction tasks, overcoming challenges, and striving for excellence. This dedication will contribute to the company's high-quality development and deliver a satisfactory outcome for the organization.

With unwavering original aspirations and a clear mission, development shapes our spirit while hard work propels national progress. The staff of Henan Second Construction Group will steadfastly uphold the corporate ethos of "unity and perseverance, innovation and excellence, relentless strength-building, and steady advancement." They will transform the joy of completing the chimney construction into motivation for sustained effort, fulfilling their original commitments through practical action and driving development through responsibility—achieving new successes and outstanding results once again on the battlefield of project implementation!
