Chapter 1385 Construction Speed (Part 2)
You know, Guo Tailai's bidding this time is to dismantle the old stadium and the surrounding land and then rebuild the new stadium. The amount of work is absolutely huge.
Each construction group got the design plan, and their experts held a special meeting to study and calculate the figures such as the construction period budget that took a month to decide. However, compared with the construction period in this plan of Huaxia Construction Group, it is simply scum! The fastest one will take three years to complete.
This is not a random scheduling schedule without any basis, but a factual basis.
Since 2000, Wembley Stadium, the home of the England national team, has been preparing to start rebuilding. On October 7, 2000, Wembley Stadium ended the last national team game. The stadium was closed and demolition began.
However, until now, it is the end of September 2002, and the demolition of Wembley Stadium has not been completed. According to the demolition progress there, it may not be completely demolished until next year, that is, February 2003.
In other words, it will take two years and four months to dismantle Wembley Stadium alone. As for the construction period, according to the estimated construction period of Wembley Stadium, it will start after the demolition in February 2003, and it will take at least March 2007, which is more than four years, before the construction can be completed.
The entire Wembley Stadium will take six and a half years from demolition to construction.
Similarly, the new stadium (Emirates Stadium) to be built by Arsenal took three years from the announcement of preparations to the permission to start construction, from 1999 to the demolition of the old stadium in August this year. Of course, they need loans. At the same time, it took a lot of time for the support of local residents and the approval of the city government. Unlike the support from Tottenham's Bai Lily, the government's approval efficiency is also high. This is definitely not because of Charles' influence, it is definitely the enthusiasm of the white lilies that made the government more efficient.
According to the plan, the demolition of the Emirates Stadium began in August 2002 and will not be completed until August 2005. In the future, due to the difficulty of construction, it had to be delayed for another year until August 2006 before completion.
In other words, the Arsenal Emirates Stadium was planned for three years from demolition to completion of construction, and the total construction period took a full four years.
This is the speed of construction in the UK. It took seventeen months to dismantle the platform of an abandoned railway station.
Except for Huaxia Construction Group, the bidder with the shortest construction period also needs three years. But why did Huaxia Construction Group dare to promise to complete the project within 300 days? This is more than three times faster than the other fastest solutions!
"Our construction team can work overtime!" Facing the doubts of the bidding party composed of the club, the city government and the expert jury, the representative of Huaxia Construction Group seriously gave a reason.
"No, that, our team can also work overtime!" The other bidders were also questioned and puzzled, and gave reasons.
"Our construction team can work overtime every day!" The domestic representative just said a very relaxed sentence, and pushed back the questioning tenderer.
Working overtime every day, who can stand it? Which boss wants to pay such high overtime rates?
"You must ensure that the construction workers have enough rest time." The expert from the bidding party raised another question: "Otherwise it will bring safety hazards."
"In fact, the overtime work of our construction workers will not be very long every day." The bidding representative of Huaxia Construction Group explained very seriously: "We will adopt a three-shift method, and the construction site will continue to work."
Does the UK have three shifts? Of course there is, but only in some special work units, most other companies do not use this method. Of course, there may have been in history, but don't we have strong trade unions now? Overtime is fine, and three shifts is fine, as long as you give me enough small money, everything will be fine.
The thing is, it's not a little pennies. Originally, the normal work pay is very high, and if we have to work in three shifts, the budget may be at least doubled in terms of labor salary alone.
Moreover, Huaxia even proposed that if it cannot be completed on schedule, it is willing to pay a high penalty for breach of contract. For this reason, they are even willing to deposit a deposit in the custodial account of UBS. How dare the other bidders make such a promise? Even the bidder who had submitted a three-year construction period planned to use a three-year construction period to successfully bid, and then planned to extend the construction period in the last year of the actual construction.
Anyway, half of the work has been done by then, and temporary substitutions are definitely impossible. Guo Tailai and Tottenham Club can only hold their noses and admit the consequences. But who would have thought that Huaxia Construction Group would be so ruthless and dare to pay a high deposit, who would dare? This can't be played anymore!
There is no way, Huaxia Construction Group has unique conditions in this regard, and the bonus points are the highest.
In addition to the construction period, the budget is another important aspect to consider. In this regard, Huaxia Construction Group did not have a prominent advantage, and the quotation was not the lowest, but only the third from the bottom. But it is lower than the average quotation of all bidding units.
However, when an architectural expert in the judging panel asked about the solutions of several difficult design points in the stadium design, Huaxia Construction Group once again showed a clear advantage over other bidders.
Among the five difficult designs, Huaxia Construction Group has four completed examples to prove that it has the strength to solve the problem, and the remaining one also gave a construction plan. But among the other bidders, only two of the five high-difficulty designs have actual construction examples, and the others are preset schemes.
When the review experts inquired in detail about these preset plans and their corresponding construction period budgets, four of them had to admit that in actual construction, additional investment in the budget may be required and the construction period may be extended. The remaining two can be guaranteed to be completed, but the construction period is at least four years.
With huge advantages in terms of construction budget, estimated construction period, and construction technology, Huaxia Construction Group stood out in this bidding. Almost without any objection, he became the first place, and finally became the winning bidder for the stadium construction as he wished.
Some people in the municipal government have other ideas, but this is a private investment after all, and Guo Tai has the final say. No matter how dissatisfied these people were, they still chose to cooperate under the possible pressure from Charles and countless Bai Lilies.
"There are other projects to increase the employment rate!" During the celebration, Guo Tailai lost no time in reminding several city government officials: "The stadium is just a stadium, but the surrounding roads and public facilities are upgraded, isn't it? Can it provide many job opportunities? The new stadium will gather more people, won’t it also drive consumption?”
