The construction management mode of Second China-Russian Crude Oil Pipeline project

The construction of Second China-Russia Crude Oil Pipeline is faced with great difficulties because of complex terrain, low temperature in winters, long construction period in forests, poor social support and parallel laying to the existing Mohe-Daqing line of China-Russian Crude Oil Pipeline, so the requirements on the construction management are quite strict. In this paper, the management mode of client + supervision + Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) was adopted to provide scientific management from the aspects of schedule control, quality control and HSE control. And consequently, a new record of welding speed is set up, i.e., 750 km pipelines are welded within 180 days in the alpine area in winter. And besides, the construction target of no quality and safety accident since the beginning of the construction is realized. It accumulates the construction management experience for the pipeline construction in alpine areas.
