The first floor has a height of 8 meters, and standard floors have heights of 5 to 6 meters, with heavy production on the first floor and R&D in the upper zones... The Wuhu Economic Development Zone Automotive Electronics Industrial Park Project, as the first key "industrial verticalization" construction project of Anhui Construction Engineering Group, is under rapid construction. Upon completion, it will serve as a high-standard industrial park in Wuhu Economic Development Zone and become a new benchmark for production plants in the automotive electronics industry.
　　"Industrial verticalization," also known as "vertical factory," means moving flat factories into multi-story buildings. By seeking space upward, it achieves the same land footprint with doubled floor area, enhancing the land efficiency per unit area.
　　The Wuhu Economic Development Zone Automotive Electronics Industrial Park Project, contracted by the General Contracting Company under Anhui Construction Engineering, adopts a new industrial carrier development model of production, R&D, design, and office work in high-rise buildings, effectively resolving the contradiction between limited regional land resources and industrial expansion and upgrading. It is being built into an innovative experience industrial complex, shaping a new industrial center for Wuhu through "production + R&D + leisure + exhibition." Among them, the five production plants in the industrial park will achieve "every floor is a first floor" on floors 1-3, ingeniously constructing a loop ramp in the middle of the plants for container trucks to climb, allowing heavy trucks to reach floors 1-3 via the ramp for loading and unloading, improving freight efficiency, facilitating enterprise production, and achieving the "first floor" effect.
　　Currently, the project is making an all-out sprint toward the main structure construction phase, with over 1,000 workers on site daily.
　　How to build it? "Verticalization" is a systemic issue. Converting production space from flat to three-dimensional means that the building's load-bearing capacity, floor height, column spacing, vertical transportation, and power supply are all key factors that enterprises consider when moving in.
　　Due to the functional requirements of the buildings, industrial verticalization buildings must meet large-space requirements while the structure also needs to withstand heavy loads, fatigue loads, and temperature stresses. During the design phase of the Wuhu Economic Development Zone Automotive Electronics Industrial Park Project, the structural layout was adjusted and structural components optimized to achieve the goals of safety, durability, and economy while meeting the building's functional requirements. The project has large beam and column cross-sections; the formwork reinforcement for structural beams and columns uses square-round fasteners and new beam reinforcement construction techniques to improve concrete forming quality. The site has a silty clay layer over 30 meters thick, which can easily cause pipe pile inclination during foundation pit excavation; four mixing piles are used around each engineering pile for reinforcement to ensure foundation construction quality. In some production plants, pre-cast piles have difficulty penetrating the medium-dense to dense sand layers in the foundation; stiff composite pile construction technology is adopted to solve this technical challenge.
　　Large-span reinforced concrete beams are important components supporting the entire building system, and their mechanical performance directly affects the safety and stability of the building structure. The project team conducted research on the mechanical performance and construction control methods of large-span high-strength reinforced concrete beams, focusing on improving construction methods and resolving high-strength rebar connection quality issues, further reducing construction costs while ensuring building quality and safety. These innovations in structural forms and construction methods further meet the higher requirements of modern industry for building space, functionality, and safety.
　　Industrial verticalization parks are characterized by high construction value, large enterprise floor area ratios, and complex management. The general contracting management team of Anhui Construction Engineering promotes the upgrading of project management methods through technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, mobile internet, and BIM. By building a 1+1+N smart construction site management architecture (i.e., one sensing and monitoring network covering the site, one data support platform, and N smart applications), it achieves comprehensive collection, monitoring, and management of elements such as "personnel, machinery and equipment, materials, construction site, quality, and safety" on the project site, forming a closed-loop management model of pre-prevention and pre-control, in-process intelligent control, post-event statistical analysis, and process-wise smart decision-making. This provides management leverage for the project site and effectively enhances the modern management level of the construction site. For project operation and maintenance, a smart industry brain is being built, integrating multiple subsystems such as smart safety, smart environmental protection, smart logistics, and smart energy. Based on real-time data and ubiquitous connectivity, through processing-analysis-application, it achieves smarter and more comprehensive configuration and more effective and precise optimization, providing data support and decision-making support for managers.
　　The Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone Automotive Electronics Industrial Park Infrastructure Construction Project is located in Wuhu Economic Development Zone. The first phase covers a total land area of 140,000 square meters, with a total floor area of 460,000 square meters, including 393,000 square meters above ground and 69,000 square meters underground. The project is the first phase of Wuhu Economic Development Zone's construction of 1.2 million square meters of high-standard multi-story plants during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, including high-standard production plants, administrative office facilities, dormitories, canteens, commercial spaces, and outdoor ancillary works. Upon completion, it will shape a new industrial center for Wuhu and provide strong support for Wuhu's goal of building a vibrant, innovation-driven, quality-oriented, and caring economic development zone.
