A spring breeze sweeps across the Liaoxi hills and ridges. Amid the mountains and wild terrain, grasses and trees put forth fresh shoots. One towering wind turbine tower after another stands ready, building power against the long wind. In the undulating mountains of Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, a large-scale wind power project carrying the mission of green energy is steadily taking shape. This is the site of the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) Fuxin Fumeng Phase II 348.5MW wind power project. As a key clean energy project for Fuxin City to optimize its energy mix and implement the national “dual carbon” strategy, since it broke ground in March 2025, all builders of the EPC general contracting project department from China Energy Engineering Group’s Dongdian Second Company have taken root in remote mountains and wilderness, facing myriad challenges head-on. With a tough, no-excuses sense of responsibility, they solve construction problems; with refined management, they forge benchmark projects. With sweat and steadfastness, they deliver a high-quality construction answer sheet on the Liaoxi land that demonstrates the strength of a central state-owned enterprise and fulfills the green mission.

Looking across the project site, 41 wind power generator units of 8.5MW each are arranged in a staggered pattern according to the terrain. Their silver-gray tower stacks point straight into the sky, set against the Liaoxi blue skies and mountains—each creating a harmonious scene. Every process, every detail, shows a rigorous and meticulous professional attitude; every busy figure conceals an unwavering determination to tackle hard problems. The project’s total installed capacity is 348.5MW. Once completed and put into operation, it will substantially replace traditional coal-fired power generation, effectively reduce carbon emissions, break the local traditional energy supply pattern, and inject clean driving force into Fuxin’s industrial transformation and upgrading as well as green, low-carbon development.

Face challenges with resolve and take on tough tasks head-on—showing commitment and responsibility

The Fuxin Fumeng Phase II 348.5MW wind power project is located in the western part of Fumeng County, in a typical mountainous and hilly landscape. Special geographic conditions have posed significant tests for the construction team since the very beginning of preparation. The area has large terrain variations, with mountains stretching continuously and ravines crisscrossing. Existing construction roads are rough and narrow, and transporting oversized components such as wind turbine tower sections and extra-long blades, as well as large lifting machinery, is far more difficult than in ordinary flatland wind power projects. In addition, geological conditions are complex and changeable: in some sections, the rock is hard and the soil layers are loose. Excavation for wind turbine foundations, rebar binding, and concrete pouring are repeatedly hindered; even the slightest neglect can affect construction quality and overall schedule.

The project’s own high-risk construction characteristics further increase pressure on safety management and construction organization. The project involves high-altitude operations, lifting of large equipment, and cross-disciplinary work—all high-risk activities. With 41 turbines spread widely across the site and work points dispersed, the difficulty of full-course control without any blind spots is extremely high. Liaoxi’s climate is harsh and changeable: in summer, extreme heat and scorching temperatures prevail, with surface temperatures at the construction site exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. During the flood season, heavy downpours may trigger landslides and muddy roads. In autumn and winter, strong winds and blizzards occur frequently, not only disrupting the construction rhythm, but also creating major safety hazards for high-altitude lifting and open-air operations. From early-stage site leveling and foundation work, to mid-stage equipment transportation and wind turbine lifting, and then to late-stage grid connection and commissioning—every link cannot afford any slack, and every step forward requires builders to devote even more hard-earned effort.

The more difficult the obstacles, the more clearly the responsibility of a central state-owned enterprise is shown. Faced with many unfavorable factors, the project department showed not the slightest hesitation. A strong team composed of core management personnel, technical backbones, and experienced施工（construction) teams was the first to take root on the front line and stay in the mountains and wilderness, firmly anchoring the core理念: “Safety first, quality foremost, progress under control, and benefits prioritized.” They carry the “dual carbon” mission on their shoulders and integrate the responsibility of a central state-owned enterprise into every task. The project department quickly convened a kickoff mobilization meeting, clarified phased objectives, refined task division, and strengthened job responsibilities. All participating personnel threw themselves into construction with an advancing mindset of “charging at sprint speed right at the start, fighting a decisive battle upon kickoff.” They issued solemn commitments and vowed to bite into this “hard bone,” creating a new energy精品 project worthy of inspection.

Forge the lifeline of safety—close-loop control to guard the bottom line

Safety production is the lifeline of engineering construction, and it is also the top priority for wind power projects. For the Fumeng project, where high-altitude work is concentrated and lifting risks are prominent, safety management has no “pause button”—only an ever-tight “ongoing” state. Since the start of construction, the project department has consistently placed safety production at the top of the list of “Class A (top-tier) projects,” resolutely rejecting the mistaken idea of “prioritizing progress while neglecting safety.” Using a systems-based approach, they build a full-coverage safety control network; with refined measures, they implement the requirements for whole-process management; and they spare no effort to guard the safety bottom line, achieving zero construction safety incidents and zero injuries in 2025, thereby establishing a solid protective barrier for the efficient advancement of the project.

To strengthen safety responsibility, the project department strictly implements the requirements of “Party and government responsibilities shared for each other, dual responsibilities for each position, coordinated participation and joint management, and accountability for dereliction.” It fully promotes an all-staff safety production responsibility system. From the person in charge of the project, management personnel, and section leaders to frontline operators, safety responsibility letters are signed level by level. Responsibilities are broken down into every process, every post, and every person. This builds a closed-loop responsibility system of “everyone is responsible, everyone holds their own level accountable, and everyone fulfills their duties.” It prevents responsibilities from becoming unassigned and ensures weak implementation does not occur. Targeting the pain points of dispersed work points and difficulty in control, it innovates the dual model of “grid-based management + a package of responsibility assignment system,” scientifically dividing control units. It defines the grid chiefs, package-responsibility persons, and supervisors’ duties, and implements around-the-clock fixed-person and fixed-area patrol inspections, achieving safety control with no blind spots and full coverage.

The project department establishes a closed-loop mechanism for identifying and addressing hazards, and carries out regular daily inspections, special inspections, and comprehensive inspections in three categories on a routine basis. For any hazards found, it strictly implements requirements of “assigning specific people, specific responsibilities, specific time limits, and specific measures.” It rectifies one item and closes it off one item; after verification, it draws inferences to prevent similar issues and conducts root-cause-based investigations into related problems. It keeps堵塞漏洞 at the source. Adhering to education first and prevention as the main focus, and结合 the characteristics of high-risk wind power operations, it conducts practical, scenario-based safety training and warning education. Through case analyses, explanation of procedures, and hands-on drills, it strengthens prevention and control skills for key areas such as high-altitude work, lifting operations, and electrical use. It builds a visual on-site warning system and promotes safety requirements from written regulations into habitual behavior. It upgrades from passive enforcement to proactive prevention, making “talk safety, guard safety” a conscious practice of all staff.

At the same time, the project department fully equips safety protection supplies, complete with professional equipment for fire protection, emergency response, monitoring, and more—so the hardware fortifies the safety bottom line. Combined with local climate conditions, it also develops multiple special contingency plans including prevention of falls, flood control, and protection against blizzards. Throughout the year, it conducts five practical emergency drills, aligns and rehearses coordination mechanisms, and improves emergency response capabilities—providing full-course protection for the project’s safety production.

Pursue progress with lean construction—tackle hard problems to achieve outstanding results

Tight schedule, heavy tasks, harsh climate, and high construction difficulty are challenges that the project construction cannot avoid. To ensure key milestones are completed on time and to achieve grid connection at full capacity as early as possible, all participating personnel gave up holidays, rooted themselves in the frontline in the mountains and wilderness. They worked through scorching heat, braved storms and rain, and fought the severe cold—without complaints—staying at their posts. The team leads with scientific overall planning and uses lean construction as the main lever: they repeatedly optimize construction plans, strengthen process handoffs, integrate resource allocation, and do everything possible to “run at full construction speed.”

In response to the impact of adverse weather, the project department plans and deploys in advance, dynamically adjusts work time windows, and staggers high-temperature work schedules, carrying out high-heat operations at off-peak times. It completes flood control, wind protection, and cooling support measures in advance to reduce natural-condition interference to the maximum extent. Faced with the difficult problem of transporting large equipment through mountainous terrain, management personnel take initiative to move closer to the front line, conduct route surveys on-site multiple times, and, together with local departments and transport units, optimize road design. They widen and reinforce narrow sections one by one, systematically addressing bottlenecks such as passage and land acquisition, and open up the “last mile” for equipment transport—ensuring that oversized components enter the site smoothly and securing valuable time for subsequent construction.

The wind turbine foundations are the core foundation of the project and directly determine the long-term operational stability of the turbines. The project department adheres to quality as the top priority, strictly controlling every process—excavation, rebar binding, pouring, and curing. It arranges technical personnel to be stationed on site for full-process supervision, precisely controlling construction parameters and eliminating quality risks. After months of hard fighting, on October 17, 2025, the concrete pouring for the foundations of all 41 wind turbines was successfully completed, achieving the completion of the core milestone ahead of schedule and laying a solid foundation for subsequent installation and lifting. Wind turbine lifting is a key and critical process with extremely high technical and safety requirements—especially lifting of the concrete tower section (mixed-tower lifting), where control of wind speed, precision, and load is exceptionally strict. The project department demonstrates and reviews the plan in advance, conducts full-spectrum technical and safety briefings, defines key quality indicators, and establishes a dedicated command office to coordinate whole-process work, enabling closed-loop control.

During the lifting period, staff stand by 24 hours a day. Relying on professional equipment to monitor meteorological parameters in real time, they accurately identify the lifting window and avoid unfavorable weather. They also formulate more than ten construction and emergency response plans in advance, ensuring risks are predicted early, processes remain fully controllable, and emergency responses are rapid. On December 18, 2025, F45# wind turbine lifting was successfully completed; all indicators met excellent standards. It serves as a benchmark for batch lifting and accumulates experience, marking that the project has officially entered a new stage of lifting-focused tackling of hard problems.

Youth unites to forge high-quality products—showing the responsibility of a central state-owned enterprise to start a new journey

At the project construction site, a young main force stands out particularly. Youth is the defining label of this team, and also their drive and confidence for innovation and breakthroughs. With an average age of under 35, this team brings together technical and management backbones in the new energy sector. They have shed the bustle and distractions of city life and rooted themselves in the mountains and wilderness. Deep in their spirit is the grit and resilience of “daring to bite into hard bones and daring to shoulder heavy responsibilities.” They carry their love for the energy cause and firmly believe that “every wind turbine has life; only by refining every detail and conducting precise construction can the maximum green efficiency be released.”

They integrate the craftsperson’s spirit into every detail and every process. With refined management as the key lever and technological innovation as the support, they tackle construction technical challenges, optimize processes, and improve efficiency. During the day, they rush around different work points to coordinate issues, supervise quality, and control progress. At night, they sit at their desks to sort out work, improve plans, and research difficult problems. They use their youthful sweat to safeguard engineering quality and practice their original mission through steadfast dedication and commitment. With the young team’s drive, the project department has formed a strong atmosphere of striving to learn from each other, catching up, and pressing forward bravely. Everyone is thinking in the same direction and working with the same determination—gathering a powerful combined force to tackle hard problems.

With standardized management, solid quality, efficient progress, and stable safety conditions, the project department has earned high recognition from the owner, the supervision unit, and the company. The owner even sent a special letter to express commendation, praising the team for “meeting challenges head-on, tackling hard problems, and completing major milestone points on schedule—creating decisive conditions for full-capacity grid connection.” This recognition is both the best reward for the whole team’s hard work and a clear reflection of Dongdian Second Company’s deep technical accumulation, excellent management level, and the corporate spirit of “pursuing excellence and creating classics.”

Now, the project is steadily moving toward full-capacity grid connection. Towers stand in dense rows and transmission lines extend across the land—signs of green energy dawn are emerging. After the project is put into operation, it will help Fuxin shake off reliance on traditional energy, promote a green transformation of the regional energy structure, and inject strong momentum into the revitalization of the old industrial base in Liaoxi.

Chase the wind and pursue green without stopping; carry out solid work to start a new journey. Standing at a new starting point, China Energy Engineering Group’s Dongdian Second Company’s Fuxin Fumeng wind power project will build精品 through craftsmanship, demonstrate responsibility through practical execution, and continue writing a new chapter of green energy construction across the Liaoxi land—contributing an even stronger force from CEEC for the national energy revolution, local high-quality development, and achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
