Core Viewpoint - The Fujian Yong'an Pumped Storage Power Station project has been accused of cutting corners in construction, particularly regarding the dam's construction quality, leading to serious regulatory actions and accountability measures against involved parties [1][2]. Project Overview - The Yong'an Pumped Storage Power Station is located in Xiaotao Town, Yong'an City, Fujian Province, with a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts and a total investment of 7.496 billion yuan. The construction unit is Fujian Mintou Yong'an Pumped Storage Co., Ltd. The project includes upper and lower reservoirs and a water conveyance and power generation system. The contract for the lower reservoir construction was awarded to China Water Resources and Hydropower Third Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. for 460 million yuan, which subcontracted part of the work to Shaanxi Xufeng Construction Labor Service Co., Ltd. for 28 million yuan [2]. Inspection Findings - The inspection revealed that the allegations of substandard construction in the lower reservoir's shoulder slope support works were largely true. Issues included inadequate site management by the construction unit, unauthorized changes to construction methods, and non-compliance with design specifications regarding materials used. Quality control personnel were not present during critical operations, and illegal subcontracting practices were identified. The supervising unit, Zhejiang Huadong Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., failed to enforce monitoring responsibilities effectively [3][4]. Accountability Measures - The National Energy Administration has mandated serious disciplinary actions against responsible personnel from China Electric Power Construction Group. Key personnel, including project managers and engineers, have been dismissed or demoted due to failures in quality management and supervision. A total of 36 individuals from the construction and consulting companies have faced organizational and disciplinary actions [9][10][11]. Future Actions - The National Energy Administration and relevant departments will closely monitor the rectification of quality issues and risks associated with the project. They have mandated that the construction and participating units strictly adhere to engineering quality management regulations to ensure all identified problems are resolved [13].
