After the joint efforts of all the parties, the project completed major maintenance work and carried out preventive inspection and evaluation of important equipment, and successfully completed the system and equipment commissioning after the maintenance, completed the tests advancing construction period 2 days earlier than the original plan, laid a foundation for reducing the workload of A class maintenance and targeted equipment inspections for the next year, and provided a strong guarantee for the realization of the annual power generation target.
The maintenance work is the third time conducted independently since the outbreak of the epidemic. Under the influence of the epidemic and the acceleration of localization, the number of on-site Chinese employees gradually decreased, and foreign employees had become the main force of the work. The project took the maintenance work as an opportunity, and based on the key work of the startup and shutdown and maintenance of the unit, to promoted training by hard work and strengthened team building, further improved the skill level of foreign employees, and promoted the harmonious relationship between Chinese and Moroccan employees.
