Recently, the China Association of Construction Enterprise Management issued a circular of commendation, releasing the list of winners of the National Quality Engineering Award for the 2024-2026 period. Two projects from Yancheng made the list: the Huahang Science and Technology Square constructed by Jiangsu Jinmao Construction Group Co., Ltd., and the Science and Innovation City Primary and Junior High School Project undertaken by Jiangsu Minghua Construction Co., Ltd. This adds another prestigious national accolade to the high-quality development of Yancheng’s construction industry.

Established in 1981, the National Quality Engineering Award is China’s earliest, highest-level national award for engineering quality that covers multiple sectors and disciplines. It represents authoritative recognition of a project’s overall quality, technical management and excellence in construction.

Serving respectively as an industrial innovation platform and a public education facility, the two projects differ in function yet both overcame a host of construction challenges with meticulous craftsmanship. Adopting a symmetrical layout of twin high-rise towers with multiple large overhanging structures, the Huahang Science and Technology Square posed considerable construction difficulties. The project team innovatively adopted the disk-lock scaffold system, optimized erection plans for supports, rigorously controlled the height-to-width ratio, and upheld strict standards for construction safety and quality. For the Science and Innovation City Primary and Junior High School Project, which involved major risks such as deep foundation pits, mass concrete works and 15-meter-tall formwork supports, the contractor refined special construction plans. Following the practice of building trial models as benchmarks and implementing dynamic whole-process control, the team strictly checked incoming materials and accepted completed construction procedures to deliver a high-quality educational project for public wellbeing.

The simultaneous winning of this national award stands as a testament to the superb craftsmanship of local construction enterprises and a vivid example of the city’s sustained push for high-quality landmark projects.
