On September 6, Shengli Energy received a notification from the Construction Engineering Quality Supervision Station of the Coal Industry, announcing that the coal transportation system connecting Shengli No. 1 Open-pit Coal Mine and Shengli Power Plant has been honored with the 2024 Construction Quality “Classic Project” (High-level and Excellent Project) Accolade of the Coal Industry.
According to the coal construction engineering quality assessment criteria, the “Classic Project” title is the highest quality standard and accolade in the sector. The coal transportation system from Shengli No. 1 Open-pit Coal Mine to Shengli Power Plant, the first of its kind in China, is designed for long-distance, bidirectional transportation of coal and ash in a frigid alpine region, featuring horizontal curves, multi-point drives, and mid-section unloading belt conveyors, with an annual forward transportation capacity of ten million tonnes of coal and reverse transportation of two million tonnes of ash. Throughout its construction, the project accomplished seven research tasks and numerous invention patents and the system has worked without any unscheduled downtime since its commissioning, achieving long-term safe and stable operation. Over 22 million tonnes of coal and fly ash have been transported with significant dust pollution prevention during transportation, highway transportation pressures alleviation, energy consumption reduction, producing substantial economic and social benefits.
