At the beginning of the new spring, various localities in Shandong are intensively planning this year's work and driving project construction to "accelerate." Recently, at the construction sites of multiple key projects, reporters saw that builders are racing against time to shorten construction periods and speed up progress.

　　Not far from the newly started Aiko Solar High-Efficiency Battery Module project, the Phase II project of the BYD New Energy Passenger Vehicle and Parts Industrial Park has pressed the "acceleration button." Xu Lei, General Manager of BYD Group in Shandong Province, told reporters that last year the park produced 240,000 complete vehicles and completed an output value of 27.65 billion yuan. With the smooth progress of Phase II construction, it is expected that more than 300,000 complete vehicles will be produced this year, completing an output value of 33 billion yuan.

　　In many cities in Shandong, relevant departments, focusing on the goals of "reducing procedures, reducing time, reducing costs, and improving quality," continue to optimize the business environment and accelerate the implementation of major industrial projects.

　　In the CNBM (Zaozhuang) New Materials Industrial Park in Shizhong District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, the Phase II factory building of CNBM Optical Fiber Technology Co., Ltd. will enter the decoration stage this year. Wang Sanzhao, Deputy General Manager of the company, said that the more than 40,000 square meters of factory buildings in Phase I of the project were all built by the local government on behalf of the enterprise, enabling the company to "move in with bags in hand." At present, the production situation of the Phase I project is relatively good, and it is hoped that the Phase II project will achieve full production as soon as possible.

　　At the construction site of the reconstruction and expansion project of the Qihe-Jinan section of the Beijing-Taipei Expressway undertaken by China Construction Eighth Engineering Division, all construction areas are "operating at full capacity." This project is an important component of Shandong's expressway network of "nine vertical, five horizontal, one ring, seven radial, and multiple connecting lines."

　　"At present, more than 100 workers have returned to their posts. We formulated a resumption plan in advance and reasonably arranged personnel and machinery at each construction location to ensure orderly commencement of work after the holiday," said Zhou Shun, the project leader.

　　In the Modern Logistics City of Lanshan District, Linyi City, more than 200 tower cranes stand tall, and the construction site of the key project in the park, the Jinlan Smart Logistics Port project, is bustling. "The main structure has been completed and is expected to be fully finished in April," introduced Zhang Xingguang, the project leader.

　　"Major projects are an important lever for effectively expanding investment and stabilizing growth. Shandong will focus on 'why to invest, where to invest, who will invest, and how to invest,' systematically improve the closed-loop working mechanism covering the entire chain of project planning and reserve, implementation and commencement, construction advancement, and production and effectiveness, promote the accelerated implementation of major projects, and continuously inject new momentum into high-quality development," said Wang Xiaoyan, full-time deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration Development of Shandong Province.
