The first steel structure hoisting for the R&D and office area construction project of the Phase II headquarters relocation at the Shanghai CSSC Changxing Shipbuilding Base has been successfully completed.
At 9:18 a.m. on October 19, the first steel-structure hoisting for the R&D and office area construction project of Phase II of the Shanghai CSSC Changxing Shipbuilding Base’s headquarters relocation was successfully completed, marking the entry of the project’s main structural construction into a new phase.
This project is located within Phase II of the CSSC Changxing Shipbuilding Base on the southern shore of Changxing Island in Chongming District, Shanghai. The total floor area is 73,378 square meters, with 69,038 square meters above ground and 4,340 square meters underground. The complex comprises a multi-purpose office building, a research and development/design building, an owner–classification society building, an inspection and commissioning building, a reception center, and associated supporting facilities, all constructed using a steel frame structural system. As a vital component and critical link in the overall relocation of Hudong–Zhonghua’s headquarters to the island, this project integrates a wide range of functions, including R&D, design, meetings, exhibitions, hospitality, and management, serving as the “brain” and “central hub” of the new shipyard base.
The comprehensive relocation project of Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding—the Phase II development of the Changxing Shipbuilding Base—commenced on January 4, 2021. Located along the southern shore of Changxing Island in Shanghai, the project entails a total investment of RMB 18 billion and has been designated by the National Development and Reform Commission as a major construction initiative. The first phase covers an area of 214.6 hectares and is slated for an investment of RMB 8 billion; upon completion, Hudong–Zhonghua will establish a production capacity to build six specialized vessels annually at this site.
From its urban roots along the Huangpu River to its strategic location at the Yangtze River estuary and the East China Sea, the comprehensive relocation of Hudong–Zhonghua Shipbuilding, with a history spanning more than 90 years, represents a transformative upgrade for Shanghai’s manufacturing sector and serves as a landmark project in advancing the high-quality development of China’s shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry.
Since the commencement of construction, Dadi Steel Structure has steadfastly adhered to the construction philosophy of “meticulous execution and efficient contract performance,” rigorously managing every stage of the project—schedule, quality, and safety—with strictness, practicality, and attention to detail. The company is fully committed to delivering a high-quality, exemplary project that will further upgrade China’s largest shipbuilding base.
