Promoting Technological Innovation

Technological innovation is the driving force for the high-quality development; the high-quality development cannot be achieved without technological innovation. Carrying forward the spirit of science and craftsmanship, CSCEC is committed to establishing a technological innovation system that is enterprise-oriented, market oriented, and deeply integrated with industry, universities and research institutes, to make more iconic and influential independent innovation achievements and to foster new driving forces for development. In 2019, the R&D investment of CSCEC was RMB 21.87 billion. The Company had 84,200 employees in intermediate technical positions and above, accounting for 25% of the total number of employees.

The model employee and craftsman innovation studios, established by China Construction Eighth Engineering Division Corp., Ltd. (CCEED), covered general contracting management, super high-rise construction, highway reconstruction and expansion, and other areas. It has successfully applied for 228 national patents and won honors such as the provincial innovative team, worker pioneer, and the demonstration studio for model employee and craftsman innovation. Among them, the R&D achievements of Chang Hongbin BIM + AI Model Employee Innovation Studio was awarded the "Outstanding Innovation Achievement Award on the 5th National Employee Innovation Achievement Competition".

The Baiwangxin High-Tech Industrial Park Smart 3D Garage Project, undertaken by China Construction Science and Industry Corporation LTD., is a key parking demonstration project in Nanshan District, covering 1,400 square meters of the construction area. The project aims to solve the parking problem of enterprises in the industrial park. The smart 3D garage of Baiwangxin High-Tech Industrial Park is 25.25 m high, with 191 parking lots. The average car parking time is about 60 seconds. The smart 3D garage has lots of strengths in terms of parking time, operation efficiency, safety and reliability, saving people from seeking parking lots and the parking effort.

Based on the concept of construction industrialization, China Construction Science and Industry Corporation LTD. adopted diverse technologies to develop a series of products and industrialized construction systems for small assembled smart city facilities, including GIS (geographic information system) urban planning, BIM design platform, prefabricated chemical plant production, standardized assembly line manufacturing, automated production line construction, prefabricated construction, cloud platform management, and full lifecycle monitoring, etc. The company signed a contract for the small prefabricated smart public toilet project in Shenzhen. Up to now, the project has been put into standardized assembly line production.

Leading Industrial Development

CSCEC advocates fair competition and protects the normal development order of the industry. We have actively participated in national and industrial development research, planning and standard formulation, promoted industrial structure upgrade, and made a crucial breakthrough in R&D and manufacturing of major equipment, R&D of high performance building materials, in-situ 3D printed buildings, the horizontal rotating movement of large buildings, and aerial rotating movement of ultra-long cable-stayed bridges, etc., forming some global leading achievements and becoming a leader in industrial technology development. In 2019, we participated in the preparation of six compulsory national standards as a chief editorial unit, and compiled and issued one national standard. 

The "bridge tower building machine", the integrated self-adapting smart jacking tower platform independently developed by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau CO., LTD, was successfully applied in the construction of the 155-meter-high main tower of the Wujiagang Yangtze River Bridge in Yichang, Hubei. Since the bridge tower slanted, the balance of the jacking is very important. When the "bridge tower building machine" is ascending, the jacking can adapt to the change of the cross section to maintain balance. The positioning error of the four support points can be controlled within 5 mm, so that the workers can conduct operations on a flat platform.

China Construction Second Engineering Bureau Ltd. and China State Construction Technical Center jointly completed the 3D printing of the main structure of a 7.2-meter-high double-storey office building in Guangdong construction base. The in-situ 3D printing construction technology makes three breakthroughs: the main structure is directly printed on the site without secondary assembly; the printed wall is hollow, which is convenient for adding thermal fillers; the technology is applied in the double-storey building for the first time, which has a complicated structure.

Green Construction

SCEC has developed a series of green materials and green building technologies for the construction of a comprehensive green building operating platform that covers the whole lifecycle of "investment, construction and operation". Through the construction of demonstration green construction projects, we have effectively reduced the production of various pollutants and the impacts of the construction processes on the environment. The Eco-Smart City project developed by China Construction Fifth Engineering Division Corp., Ltd. (CCFEB) won the Global Human Settlements Award Planning and Design, the first residential project within the Eco-Smart City, CSCEC·No. 1 Mansion project, won the Global Demonstration Green Community Award, and China Construction America (CCA) was ranked 53rd among the list of ENR 2019 Top 100 Green Building Contractors.

China West Construction Group Co., Ltd. (CWCG) is committed to creating green and environmentally friendly concrete enterprises. By making efforts in the six aspects of green design, green construction, green procurement, green consumption, green consumption management and control, and environmental protection-oriented public welfare, we aim to achieve whole-process green production of construction and build a clean, low-carbon, and circular green production system.

The 800-mu Shenyang Urban Solid Waste Comprehensive Utilization and Green Environmental Protection Industrial Park covers a total population of about 3 million.
