The construction company CEO revealed:
Because there are drawbacks, there will be accidents.
Li Daguo, executive deputy general manager of China Chemical Engineering 14th Construction Co., Ltd. expressed his opinions on current safety accidents in the construction of chemical projects. He believes that the occurrence of accidents has a lot to do with the current status of construction companies undertaking chemical construction projects. He said that some recent security incidents are inevitable. Why? Because there are two major drawbacks in this industry.
The first is industry protection. After the large state-owned enterprises in the monopoly industries have been laid off and diverted, most of their construction teams are one or two thousand, and there are almost no teams of 5,000. Most of our chemical construction companies are professional teams of seven or eight thousand or tens of thousands. . It is such a small team that the annual turnover is 800 million yuan or 10 billion. How can they achieve such a high income? In fact, their own strength alone can not be achieved, but for the monopoly of the industry, industry protection, and some chemical projects under construction they would rather subcontract approach to find local companies or private, collective enterprises, but also do not want to find chemical Industry professional construction companies do. On the surface, it is a large state-owned enterprise that actually wins the bid. However, it is the non-professional construction team that they are subcontracted to actually undertake the construction task. Is this project subcontracting guaranteed quality and can it be safe? No accident is accidental. An accident is inevitable.
Second, although the country has a bidding law, this project has not established a project minimum cost price. Without this minimum cost price, vicious competition will result. State-owned enterprises have large numbers of retired employees and social burdens, and they also have to pay for technical training fees. Private construction companies do not have so much burden. They can have no management fees and do not bear employee pension insurance. These state-owned construction companies simply do not To. Therefore, private enterprises use these so-called advantages in bids. In the same project, they can overwhelm state-owned construction companies in terms of prices.
Li Daguo suggested that the state should introduce a regulation to limit the minimum cost of project bids. For example, in the bid, the minimum cost price must not be less than 7%. If it is lower than this standard, it is a vicious competition. For example, he said, for example, the total bid for a project needs 20 million yuan, of which the material fee is 10 million yuan, the personnel salary is 2 million yuan, the capital construction cost is 2 million yuan, and the auxiliary materials and tax money need 1 million yuan, a total of 15 million yuan. Therefore, your bid cannot be less than 15 million yuan. If it is lower than this price, it is obviously a vicious competition. This is one of the most basic conditions for ensuring that there are no security incidents.
In addition, some responsible persons of old-fashioned construction companies privately emphasized to reporters that the construction of petrochemical engineering projects is different from other general construction projects. The construction of petrochemical industry is a technology-intensive industry with a large scale of investment, a large number of professional involved, and a construction period. The characteristics of the long and contractors involved are numerous, and at the same time, the project phase is highly associative. From the early stage of project development and design, procurement, construction to plant commissioning, multiple disciplines are required to cooperate closely, and each stage must be strictly controlled. , or it will affect the investment, quality or progress of the entire project, resulting in unnecessary losses. They think that if nothing happens, it will be a big thing. A small company certainly cannot bear this responsibility. In the end, the responsibility has to be paid by a large company. To this end, they called for the relevant national regulatory agencies and departments to pay close attention to the particularity of chemical construction, to conduct strict audits, strengthen supervision, and to explore effective and practical management methods to ensure the safety construction of major projects in the chemical industry. Guarantee the construction quality.
The attitude of the construction company:
Feeling abhorrence for informal operations but very helpless
After the accident of the Dushanzi ethylene construction project, all parties concerned have paid great attention to the safety management of projects under construction in the chemical industry, and this has led to all kinds of comments on the construction companies that undertake the task of engineering construction. The reporter interviewed several old established companies in China and wanted to hear their opinions. However, what the reporter did not expect was that the old construction companies known for their “stabilizing and striving for excellence†in the style of their work faced the reporters but showed themselves “dumb and spitting,†and “recklessly secretiveâ€. clear".
“How can a collective enterprise in Anhui win the bid for the anti-corrosion construction of the key project of Dushanzi? We are not clear about the state of being able to carry out such bidding.â€
“Now we have little understanding of the non-standard and tricky behaviors in the tendering and bidding market of chemical projects. We don’t know much about it.â€
"Some of the parties (owners) themselves are looking for some small construction companies to engage in formal bidding, which we do not know."
An industry insider who asked not to be named told reporters that after the recent construction safety accidents that occurred in succession, in fact, various construction companies have convened a serious "ventilation" meeting in a timely manner, demanding warnings, drawing lessons from others, and restricting themselves. Management, safety accidents occur. The person told the reporter that the construction party did not want to say anything, because he did not want to offend the owner and was afraid of having a negative impact on the bidding of future projects.
It is understood that, in fact, all regular old-fashioned construction companies are disgusted with the informal operations in the bidding process of chemical projects, but they are helpless. In the process of investigating unannounced visits, reporters learned from a number of major chemical construction companies that the phenomenon of listing, selling, and branding in the bidding of chemical engineering projects is very serious, and the various relationships are complicated. Many branch companies of some large group companies have all changed their systems, and all of them have reduced their staffing and shrinking, but they still have to complete as many tasks as before the restructuring. What should we do? It depends on subcontracting and finding small construction teams. However, there are many small construction teams not to mention that there is no definite experience in the construction of chemical engineering projects and technical level, that is, some necessary construction qualifications are not available, as long as they “stick†the cards of large companies, the qualifications of large companies are equal to theirs. Qualification. However, the project management of these collective small construction teams is not in place, and it can be said that there is no “project management†at all. Some Party A (owners) find their own small builders. Project bids are subject to black-box operations.
According to reports, there are currently many construction companies that are gradually turning to a “management†system, which is only responsible for bidding and distribution of projects, but they do not have their own specialized construction team, so after they have embraced the project, they must look for The construction team in the society comes to contract. However, most of the construction teams they found were mainly migrant workers. They did not undergo any professional training and lacked professional knowledge related to construction projects. This resulted in security risks in the project.
Industry analysis:
Ten major concerns in the bidding market
In a survey interview, the reporter learned that at present, all walks of life are unprecedented prosperity, and chemical construction companies are no exception. It is also because of the rapid development of chemical construction projects in recent years that companies are eager to see this prosperity continue and hope to emerge in this environment. However, people in the industry pointed out that at the same time, the management problems exposed by the tendering and bidding market for chemical construction projects cannot be ignored. With the increasing number of chemical construction projects in the future, this market needs to be more regulated, and more needs to be made by all sectors of the society. Supervision. Industry insiders believe that there are ten major concerns in the tendering and bidding market for chemical construction projects:
Worrying one: It is difficult to select eligible subcontractors. The owner appoints subcontractors. In order to win the bid, each construction company has done everything possible to find a way to pull the relationship, and the owner has thus been given the conditions of the weight. One of the common ones is that the owner controls the subcontracting of the project. I will give you the project. You will take care of my relatives and friends and arrange some projects for them. Because the designated subcontractors do not have the corresponding construction qualifications, it will not only result in the loss of project benefits, but also will cause great hidden troubles for project duration, safety, quality, economic disputes and social stability.
Concern 2: It is difficult to select qualified suppliers. Local criminals are involved in the project. “The project is on my site, and land acquisition and demolition need me to cooperateâ€. Some lawbreakers “take a mountain to eat mountain water and eat water by waterâ€. Not only do they require construction materials to be supplied by them, but they are also expensive, sometimes even several times higher than the market price.
Concern 3: Eliminating Protection from Local Governments Some chemical construction projects are partial to local companies when bidding, raising the barriers for foreign companies to enter and putting pressure through other channels.
Worry 4: Elimination of industry protection is also very difficult to bid when the industry favors companies in the industry. For example, petrochemical, chemical, and coal chemical projects in PetroChina, Sinopec, and the coal industry generally select construction teams in their own industries to undertake construction tasks, and will not Consider whether the construction team has the technical strength and construction experience to undertake the project, on the contrary, it will even increase the barriers for entering the industry.
Concerns 5: Recycling of project difficulties Owners are in arrears to general contractors, general contractors are owed to subcontractors, subcontractors are in arrears to suppliers of materials, labor companies are owed to migrant workers... many links are interlocking, and this vicious circle puts the whole project into A variety of companies dragged into the water.
Worry 6: Improve Project Management Organizations Difficulties The project management personnel are in short supply and their quality is not sufficient. Peers are digging each other and raising labor prices. The cohesion of the project is difficult to establish, and the phenomenon of out-of-control projects often occurs.
Worry 7: Guaranteeing quality according to the regulations When the general project started, all aspects were carried out in accordance with requirements, and the quality system worked effectively. However, because of various reasons, such as the design, materials, transportation, and even the weather, it delayed the time, but in the end it required the construction unit to return the construction period. The so-called “back wall does not fallâ€. While the price is constant, it is difficult to ensure that the project quality meets the specified requirements, especially the service life.
Worries 8: Eliminating hidden dangers in safety Due to the continuous expansion of construction tasks, the labor force is very scarce, and construction companies will use migrant workers in large quantities. However, migrant workers have poor safety awareness, and personal safety violations are difficult to prevent. Many troubles and heavy costs come.
Anxiety 9: Difficulties in collecting evidence The construction records were not signed in a timely manner, and the traceability of the construction was not strong. It was even more difficult for on-site visas to be incurred.
Worry 10: Civilized construction is difficult to bid low, many small construction teams simplify the cost category of the bidding project, the general owner does not make specific requirements, the construction unit is difficult to strictly require their own operation according to the specification, in this case, the project quality Civilized construction is difficult to guarantee.
Related industry associations' opinions:
Domestic projects must implement HSE management
On October 28, a flash explosion occurred in a crude oil tank under construction in Dushanzi, Xinjiang, and the tragedy was repeated again. Why do we have frequent problems in the safety management of our chemical projects? In response to this problem, the person in charge of a related trade association made it clear that the non-standard bidding operation is a fact, but accidents should not only be attributed to this, but also the lack of management science throughout the construction site in China, that is, HSE management.
The person in charge told the reporter that the management of the successful bidding company was not one of the causes of the accident. Although the state is very strict about the verification and management of qualifications, there are also a few companies that currently have the qualifications for construction of chemical projects. However, these companies are often mismanaged in construction projects.
It is understood that the state's bids for chemical projects are clearly stipulated, and the penalties for illegal operations are also very clear, but for some secret interests, there are still cases where the law is not followed. According to reports, the country is now formulating new bidding rules for chemical projects. This rule will soon be introduced and will further improve the regulations in this area.
Another person from the relevant industry association believes that, in view of the safety incidents that have occurred in construction companies in recent years, together, although there are many hidden dangers in accidents, the most important thing is that there is no misconduct caused by standardized management. For example, smoking occurred on the construction site before an explosion occurred. On the surface, this is a lack of training, lack of safety knowledge, but in essence it is not so simple, its key issue is the legal system management issues. At present, foreign construction sites have implemented HSE management. Construction companies that violate HSE management cannot be accepted by the owners. This means that such construction companies must be eliminated by the market. In China, only a few large-scale joint ventures or wholly-owned projects can implement HSE management. The vast majority of projects are still extensively managed and even barbarous construction. As long as they can spend less, many owners are turning a blind eye to this. Therefore, we must resolutely and thoroughly implement HSE management in order to completely eliminate safety hazards on the site of chemical engineering projects and improve the level of chemical construction in China.
