Providing quality projects outside China earns praise, boosts shared interests

Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado Quesada attended a ceremony on March 24 at which an urban water supply plant built by China Railway No 4 Engineering Group Co Ltd, known as CREC4, was handed over to Costa Rican operators.

Construction on the plant, which is the third project aided by China in Costa Rica, started in April 2019. It is helping residents in Canas access sufficient water and, in Bebedero, eliminating excessive arsenic in the drinking water.

"Its advanced equipment and technology help deliver high-quality water, boosting local commercial and production development," said Francisco Alberto Mendoza Mata, a technical expert at the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers, which administers the nation's water systems.

The project is another example of the success of the Belt and Road Initiative, which was proposed in late 2013. It has boosted the work that Chinese companies had been doing for years overseas.

One company heavily involved in those efforts is State-owned Chinese railway company CREC4, created in 1950 and now employing over 23,000. It is a unit of the centrally administered China Railway Group Ltd－a Fortune Global 500 company.

Moving beyond railroads

CREC4, which has 18 wholly owned affiliates, 10 branch companies, 41 operating branches, 10 regional operation headquarters, numerous other subordinate units and eight overseas operating offices, has gone beyond its main businesses of railway and highway construction and now is involved in building housing, municipal public works and water conservancy projects.

It has done work in nearly 20 countries, including Angola, Ethiopia, Mongolia, Indonesia and Bangladesh, in addition to its mammoth domestic operations.

"Although working overseas is very hard, the implementation of the BRI and the development of our enterprises require us to make contributions," said Zhai Guangyang, chief of the Materials Department at CREC4 Municipal Engineering Co Ltd's Angola Regional Project Department.

Zhai said his work abroad has been challenging. After traveling to Angola in 2013, he stayed busy purchasing local materials as well as managing equipment and local employees.

As chief of the department, he had to leave for work early and return late every day as he hunted for high-quality materials for different projects in Angola.

Bumpy dirt roads and the hot climate took a toll. He had to work late at night to handle documents for transporting materials and for local Customs officials.

"For seven years, I had to wait until 1 am in Angola to say good morning to my wife and child when they woke up in China due to a time difference of seven hours."

In April 2019, a video broadcast on China Central Television showed a Chinese man driving a bulldozer to clear hidden landmines in Angola. It went viral among the local Chinese community.

The man was Lyu Honggang, Communist Party of China secretary at the Angola Project Management Department of CREC4 First Engineering Co Ltd, who said he had to act boldly to solve the problem.

The Angolan Civil War, which started in 1975 and continued off and on until 2002, left numerous landmines around the country, posing a huge problem during construction.

"That morning, I learned that a landmine had exploded at our temporary facilities construction site in Kwanza Norte province, halting all work. Nobody wanted to get back to work until they knew the danger had been cleared."

"So I drove a bulldozer to clear the hidden landmines. After more than two hours, when other construction workers saw there no longer was any danger on the worksite, they began to follow me, leading to a smooth resumption of work," he said.

Twelve CREC4 projects are ongoing in Angola, covering housing, municipal projects, bridges and highways, and water plants.

In 2016, CREC4 sent Chen Hong to Mongolia to supervise projects there. Chen had begun his career in 2006 at CREC4 First Engineering, which sent him to Nepal to work on a hospital project.

He went to Oman in 2010 to serve as chief engineer on a project. From 2014 to 2016, he was in Africa, working in Sudan, Mauritania and Ethiopia.

Over 15 years, he has worked on some 10 projects in six countries, becoming a model and pioneer for CREC4's international project managers, given his extensive overseas management experience and good command of foreign languages.

Winning accolades

Chen said he was proud when the CREC4-built Development Center for Disabled Children in Mongolia was handed over and put into use in January 2019.

"My deepest thanks to CREC4 for building such a very modern and excellent hospital for us," said Galbadrah, appointed by the Mongolian Ministry of Health to take charge of the center. Like many Mongolians, Galbadrah goes by only one name.

Mongolia's Ministry of Construction and Urban Development gave the project its Best Architecture Award for 2019, and Chen was given an Excellent Builder award.

In 2017, when Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh－who was prime minister at the time－saw the country's first expressway built by CREC4, he remarked, "We are very happy."

He said the six-lane expressway, which had just opened and leads to the new airport in the capital, Ulan Bator, "can play a very good role".

"The quality is very good and is of a very high standard," he said of the 32.2-kilometer highway, with a designed driving speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Work began on the expressway in June 2016.

In Angola, a CREC4-built 76-km highway, crossing the country's mountainous northern area, was fully completed on March 24.

The Quitexe-Ambuila highway in Uige province, dubbed a "Road of Friendship" by locals, is a major artery linking the urban areas of Ambuila and Quitexe, dotted with dozens of villages along with firewood production facilities and farms, said Antonio Rosario Alex Mutunda, vice-governor of the province.

"The completion of the highway is bringing convenient transportation to the two cities and numerous beneficiaries along the route, thus promoting their economic exchanges with the outside world," he said.

In 2021, CREC4 realized a value of 236.6 billion yuan ($37.2 billion) in newly signed contracts, said Chairman Liu Bo, adding it aims to gain a sales volume of 270 billion yuan in newly signed contracts and a business income of 120 billion yuan in 2022.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), Liu said, CREC4 aims to be an industry leader as well as a comprehensive services provider－which is first-class at home and renowned around the world－in the spheres of transportation infrastructure, urban construction and ecological environmental protection, witnessing further progress in its high-quality development.
