Keywords: Brictec; Clay brick; KTB Project

I. Construction Progress of the Reclaiming Storage (Chenghua Warehouse)

The installation of the reversible distributing machine platform is progressing in an orderly manner. At present, 60% of the total installation work has been completed. The on‑site construction progress remains stable, with a daily hoisting output of 15 metres. The remaining installation work will continue steadily at this pace.

II. Construction Progress of the Tunnel Kilns

Tunnel Kiln Line 2:

The track installation on the existing foundation has been fully completed, and the associated concrete pouring has been finished simultaneously. The next construction phase will now proceed.

Tunnel Kiln Line 3:

70% of the track installation on the existing foundation has been completed. According to the construction schedule, concrete pouring for the track foundation will be carried out tomorrow, ensuring a smooth transition to subsequent track installation steps.

III. Construction Progress of Hot Air Ducts and the Drying Chamber

The main hot air supply ducts for Lines 2 and 3 have been successfully connected to the top of the drying chamber. Due to continuous rainfall, the pouring of the fan foundations on top of the drying chamber was postponed and completed on the 23rd. According to the construction plan, fan installation and duct connection work for Line 2 will commence on the 28th. The corresponding work for Line 3 will proceed according to the follow‑up schedule.

Drying Chamber Foundation for Line 1:

Currently, 65 construction workers have been deployed, and construction has been ongoing for 45 days. Only 40% of the foundation work has been completed so far, indicating a relatively slow overall progress. According to the company’s latest design requirements, two additional foundation expansion joints have been added to the drying chamber foundation area, further improving foundation construction specifications and ensuring subsequent construction quality.

IV. Construction Progress of Equipment Foundations

Regarding the equipment foundation construction for Line 1, only the foundation work for the box feeder at the exit of the reclaiming storage, the fine roll crusher, and the coarse roll crusher has been completed so far. Foundation work for all other equipment has not yet started, ensuring alignment with the overall construction schedule.

V. Welding Work Progress

U‑bolt welding is currently in progress, with 14 electric welding machines operating simultaneously on site. To date, only 50% of the total welding work has been completed. At the same time, more than 60 workers remain on site daily at the drying chamber foundation construction area, making every effort to advance the foundation work and strive to close the progress gap.
