On April 23rd, the first joint construction task of the main pipeline of the 6th and 7th sections of the largest-diameter oil and gas pipeline project - the MGS Phase III Pipeline Project in Saudi Arabia, undertaken by the company's affiliated Petroleum Engineering Construction company, was successfully completed, marking the official start of the pipeline joint and backfilling work for this project.
Facing difficulties such as heavy production and operation tasks and relatively scarce resources, the Saudi MGS project department of the company, on the one hand, vigorously promotes advanced equipment and technologies such as vacuum pipe hanging machines and welding laser video surveillance, and on the other hand, implements an integrated management model and flexibly adjusts the construction arrangements during Ramadan, laying a solid foundation for the efficient advancement of the project.
With the conclusion of the Eid al-Fitr holiday for Saudi Muslims, the project team entered an "accelerated mode", taking the welding of the main line as the core, closely coordinating the upstream and downstream processes, conducting tracking non-destructive testing, strictly controlling the welding quality, implementing quota assessment and fulfilling it the following month, effectively stimulating the enthusiasm of employees for work.
During the critical period of the project's breakthrough, the project team actively coordinated materials, ensured sufficient reserves of construction resources, and closely cooperated with the technical studio to promptly solve on-site problems. After seven days of arduous efforts, the first automatic welding unit completed 160 welds, with a one-time welding qualification rate of 100%, setting a new historical record for the company's overseas large-diameter long-distance oil and gas pipeline projects. It quickly sparked a competitive craze of "learning from each other, catching up, helping each other and surpassing".
In the scorching desert atmosphere, the entire project line closely cooperated, achieving seamless connection in pipe laying, assembly, welding and other links. The daily construction of a single unit for trench excavation and pipe laying exceeded 600 meters. The automatic welding units No. 2 and No. 3 were not lagging behind, respectively achieving 24 and 20 welds in a single day, pressing the "accelerator" for the project construction with practical actions.
Next, the project department will adhere to the principle of "safety first and quality priority", continuously strengthen safety and compliance management, enhance the coordinated advancement of each process, accelerate the formation of large-scale assembly line operations, and promote the high-quality operation of the project.
