local time on January 14, 2023, on the eve of China's traditional the Spring Festival, The rotary kiln of Senegal CIMENTS DU SAHEL Cement Company (CDS Cement Company) No.3 Expansion Project of 6000t/d Clinker Cement Production Line (SC3 Project) was successfully ignited. It marked the transition of the project from the construction stage to the trial production stage. He Feng, the chief accountant of the company, members of the project team of the owner CDS Cement Company and the Swiss consulting company CESA, and the main managers of the SC3 project witnessed this glorious moment.
Senegal SC3 Project by CIMENTS DU SAHEL & nbsp; Invested and constructed by the cement company, the project is located in the KIRENE area of Dakar, Senegal, 50 kilometers east of the capital Dakar (6 kilometers away from the new airport in Dakar). The scope of the project covers the whole production line from raw material crushing to cement packaging and delivery, including engineering design, equipment and steel structure supply. Civil construction, equipment installation, production commissioning, training and other work are the first EPC general contracting project signed and executed by the company under the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Things are not difficult until they have gone through, but it is hard to succeed if they are easy. Since the contract came into effect on August 13, 2020, the progress of the project has been accompanied by the epidemic situation, and the pressure and risk of the construction period have been superimposed. With the care and support of the company's leadership and business functional departments, all the staff of the project have adhered to dedication, overcome difficulties and moved forward bravely. Under the epidemic situation of the whole cycle of the project, the contract period is tight, there are many interfaces between the old and new lines, the project volume is huge, the owner's power supply is delayed, the traditional rainy season, mosquito Malaria and other adverse factors, the first phase of cement, the second phase of cement and other node goals are successfully achieved, especially in the face of difficulties and challenges. All the staff of the project are confident and cautious from the beginning to the end, striving to overcome the psychological extreme challenges such as long stay and difficult rotation of personnel, not relaxing their thinking and work, adhering to the goal orientation and result orientation, and under the guidance of the activities of "the fourth quarter of the decisive battle and 100 days of hard work", setting goals, measures, responsibilities and personnel. All work should be carried out in strict accordance with the established ignition objectives. Through the hard work of all the staff, the dawn of victory was finally ushered in, the goal of ignition and production was successfully achieved, and the project achieved a landmark victory.
Difficulties show courage and perseverance, and honing leads to success. Looking back on the construction process of the project, during the implementation period, it was not only affected by the new coronavirus epidemic in the whole cycle, but also faced with major adverse external environment, such as the sharp rise in the prices of bulk materials and raw materials, the sharp rise in international logistics prices, the rising labor costs, and the far-reaching impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which brought serious challenges and severe shocks to the implementation of the project. The smooth performance and ignition of SC3 project in Senegal is the best reward for the dedication and hard work of all the staff of the project with an average on-site time of more than 600 days, and the best evidence for the company's excellent technical strength and performance ability, especially the smooth performance under the full-cycle epidemic situation. It is the biggest contribution to the company's upcoming intensive cultivation of Senegal's CIMAF5000T/D clinker cement production line. All the staff of the
project will take this as a new starting point, start well and finish well, do well, work together and continue to do a good job in the project performance test and project completion, contribute their own efforts for the final smooth handover of the project, and hand in a satisfactory answer for the company.
