Aiming at the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the construction of xiong’an new area, the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, and the national strategy of "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the pace of Shanghai’s construction is spread across 34 provincial-level administrative regions, more than 150 cities and 23 countries along the "Belt and Road".

● Linkage of the whole industry chain

It is far from enough to cover the project in the local area, but it is more necessary to go well, go solid and go deep. While better serving the overall development of the country, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has continuously optimized and adjusted the market development layout, from "landing on the beach" for individual soldiers to "three-dimensional operations" for the whole industrial chain of the group army, and the advantages of the whole industrial chain have been fully demonstrated in the strategy of serving the country.

In the southern new town of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the first large-scale fixed muck resource utilization plant in China was put into operation. It can be used as road building materials after batch treatment, and has good economic, social and environmental benefits. In this project, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has not only exerted its construction ability, but also demonstrated its powerful design ability of "hidden".

As the development potential of China’s ecological environment management industry is constantly emerging, Shanghai Construction Engineering regards it as a new space for growth and development. Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. actively forged the whole industrial chain, and continued to exert its strength in green industries such as sewage and sludge treatment, comprehensive environmental management, soil remediation, solid waste disposal, sponge city and garden landscape.

● "Grinding a sword in ten years"

The concept of "based on Shanghai and going to the whole country", such as a lighthouse, guides Shanghai Construction Engineering to find a new way to achieve steady growth. After ten years of sharpening a sword, the nationalization strategy of Shanghai Construction Engineering has been deepened, and the goal of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has been achieved ahead of schedule. Shanghai Construction Engineering has left a figure as an "infrastructure giant" among numerous super projects in China.

In Shanghai, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. participated in the construction of supporting projects such as the Third China International Import Expo, China Flower Expo, E-sports S10 and FIFA Club World Cup.

For Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., the nationalization strategy will continue to promote the in-depth development of enterprises during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period. It is understood that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the domestic market structure of Shanghai Construction Engineering changed from "1+5+X" to "1+7+X". Starting from this year, we will deeply participate in the construction of regional central cities, accelerate our integration into local mainstream markets, and continuously improve our resource allocation and management capabilities.

Emerging business: extension and linkage

In the view of Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., architecture is a living product with a long life cycle. Only by providing services in the whole process from pre-planning, consulting and design services, investment and construction to operation and maintenance and even renovation can the enterprise value be truly realized. Guided by this, during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, emerging businesses such as Shanghai’s construction city renewal, water conservancy and water affairs, ecological environment, industrial construction and construction services developed rapidly and gradually took the lead in the industry.

● Increase investment to form a first-Mover advantage

In the process of cultivating growth and industrialization, new industries and new technologies can become new scale growth poles and profit growth points, but only by taking the lead in occupying the market can we have room for sustainable growth. In terms of new business layout, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has continuously increased its investment in scientific research, and the investment has been increasing for many years.

Following the concept of "no suspension, no closure, no road closure and no demolition", Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is deeply involved in urban renewal. More than 70% of the old buildings in the Bund area of Shanghai have been renovated by Shanghai Construction Engineering. Through continuous practice and exploration, Shanghai Construction Engineering has developed a market brand. The urban renewal business has an annual business increment of about 50 billion yuan.

In recent years, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. successively acquired Zhejiang Hydropower Construction and Installation Co., Ltd. and Shanghai greenman Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., and jointly established Shanghai Zhuoyu Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Zhuoyuan Water Ecological Environment Engineering Co., Ltd. with the head enterprises, which opened up new markets in the fields of soil remediation, water system management and water conservancy engineering.

● Deepening coordination and extension of industrial chain

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the industrial construction technology of Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. made a new breakthrough.

Shanghai Construction Engineering Building Materials Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shanghai Construction Engineering Building Materials Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd., has maintained a leading position in the research and development of new materials such as high-performance and environment-friendly concrete.

In addition, for Shanghai Construction Engineering, the further extension of the industrial chain to the new format of construction service is the key to its transformation from contractor to service provider, which has important strategic significance. Nowadays, new formats such as e-commerce, building technical services, intelligent operation and maintenance of building facilities and equipment, urban road maintenance, rail transit station maintenance, financial leasing, and nuclear energy construction have gradually become important fulcrums for Shanghai Construction Engineering to transform into a building life cycle service provider.

In 2020, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. entered a brand-new field-cooperated with sinap to jointly carry out the research and development of experimental reactor installation technology for the strategic pilot science and technology project "Future Advanced Nuclear Fission Energy-Thorium-based molten salt reactor Nuclear Energy System (TMSR)" of China Academy of Sciences, and promoted the technical development and industrial chain layout of TMSR. Including nuclear energy project, new infrastructure construction such as big data computing center, high-speed maglev debugging line, domestic first-made large cruise ship and offshore wind power project has become another emerging business during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period of Shanghai Construction Engineering.

Technology-driven: Cultivation and Innovation

The Tesla Giga Shanghai (Phase I) project with a total construction area of about 145,000 square meters was built by Shanghai Construction Engineering. During the construction process, Shanghai Construction Engineering adopted BIM (Building Information Model) and prefabricated assembly technology, and it took only six months from piling to the completion of the factory building structure, which fully demonstrated the "Shanghai speed". Behind such a super project is a strong system support. As the first enterprise in the industry to establish a two-level R&D system of "Academia Sinica" mode, Shanghai Construction Engineering has continuously increased its investment in scientific research for many years, making the innovation system and R&D level stand at the high point of the industry.

● Drive the high-quality development of the industry

Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has always regarded scientific and technological innovation as an important part of leading the transformation and development, and achieved a number of industry-leading new achievements in the application of green, industrialized and digital technologies.

In the past five years, Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has invested a total of 27.2 billion yuan in scientific and technological innovation, presided over 4 national key R&D plan projects and 19 national key R&D plan projects, with a substantial increase in the number of projects and new breakthroughs in the scope of fields involved; Accumulated 76 provincial and ministerial level science and technology awards, including 4 national science and technology awards; Accumulated nearly 950 invention patents; More than 60 national and industry standards have been compiled.

For the public, the direct benefit of cultivating technology is to experience high-quality supporting infrastructure faster and better. In 2019, the first national A-level theater "Jiushu Future Art Center" in the suburbs of Shanghai was completed and put into operation. It usually takes more than four years to complete such a high-standard and multifunctional theater, but it only took two years and nine months for the "Nine Trees Future Art Center" to be completed and delivered. This is because the project contractor Shanghai Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. adopts EPC (General Contracting) mode, which saves construction time and reduces construction cost. According to reports, in the future, digital and industrialized technologies will bring business scale of 50 billion yuan and 60 billion yuan respectively.
