The siblings chatted for a long time while having a meal.

Yang Fang is very clear about Hongtai Investment Company. She is usually responsible for the management, and she really has to listen to Yang Fan at critical moments.

She knew that Yang Fan's vision was much better than her, especially on some major events. For example, Yang Fan said that a financial crisis might occur next year. Yang Fang believed it without doubt.

If someone else said that such a thing would happen, she would definitely just smile and would not take it to heart, which shows her trust in Yang Fan.

Of course, if it were someone else, if Yang Fan explained that there would be a financial crisis in Southeast Asia in the year, the currencies of many Southeast Asian countries would depreciate significantly, they might not believe it.

The trust of the siblings belongs to each other. Yang Fan believes in his sister, and his sister also believes in his younger brother.

Yang Fang had no objection to the appointment of the senior management of Hongtai Investment Company and was very supportive of Yang Fan's decision, with Lin Jianwei as the general manager of Hongtai Investment Company.

After lunch, they had a short rest, and they went out together and headed to the construction site of Hongtai Building.

The building has been under construction for several months. Skyscrapers like this are as high as 86 floors, and the largest construction volume is the foundation construction.

While riding in the car, Yang Fan asked again: "Sister, I once told you that you should prepare multiple high-power water pumps. Are you all ready?"

Yang Fang immediately replied: "Fortunately you made such a proposal, we prepared a total of more than a dozen high-power water pumps early on, which solved the big problem, otherwise, we might be overwhelmed during the construction process."

What's going on?

Did you really encounter something that was surging on the ground?

Yang Fan proposed early on that preparing a high-power water pump was not a premonition, but a memory of rebirth, telling him that the JM Building had encountered such a problem during construction.

When the local foundation was excavated only more than ten meters, a large amount of groundwater surged, and the entire huge foundation pit was filled with ocean.

The Ang Mo Building is not far from the JM Building, and the two should be in the same geological conditions. Since such problems will be encountered during the historical construction of the JM Building, the Hongtai Building may not be spared.

This is actually happening.

Yang Fang talked about the construction of the building foundation last month.

The foundation construction of skyscrapers is a big project. For example, the foundation of Hongtai Building must be dug 20 meters deep.

A huge foundation pit of 150 meters by 150 meters was dug out, with an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters.

When this huge foundation pit was dug to a depth of only five or six meters, it encountered a large amount of groundwater.

What's worse is that there were several heavy rainstorms last month and something happened.

Due to the reduced pressure of the upper soil, the surface spouts of the groundwater became larger and larger, and the ocean was everywhere. In addition, the weather was not good, and heavy rain poured down for many consecutive days, spraying and pouring. The deep water in the entire foundation pit was in danger of collapse. At that time, many people's nervous legs became weak.

Fortunately, I prepared a high-power water pump early. If these water pumps did not pump out water day and night, the entire foundation pit would definitely be a vast ocean and would become a huge pond.

After listening to Yang Fang talk about these situations, Yang Fan felt secretly happy.

Thanks to preparations in advance, otherwise, it would be very passive.

The two were chatting in the car and talking about the construction of Hongtai Building. Before they knew it, the car arrived at the construction site of Hongmao Building.

After Yang Fan got off the car, he saw a very spectacular scene.

In front of me is a huge foundation pit, with a measured depth of about ten meters. A large number of construction machinery, a large number of construction materials, and a large number of construction engineers. The whole scene is lively.

Yang Fan couldn't help but say, "Sister, such a construction scene is really shocking."

Yang Fang smiled proudly: "Our funds are in place, and the entire construction is day and night. If you come here at night, you will find that the entire construction site is brightly lit and very busy."

Under Yang Fang's leadership, several middle and senior management personnel from Hongtai Group followed behind. Everyone wore hard helmets and walked into the construction site.

Let’s take a look here, take a look there. There are professionals accompanying Yang Fan and introducing him to the progress of the construction here.

Yang Fan saw at least a dozen pile drivers standing here, some of which were driving ground piles.

The diameter of each ground pile is more than one meter, but it is not clear how many meters the depth of the ground pile has reached.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a hard hat hurried over and could see that his face was full of anxiety.

Noting this situation, Yangfan thought to himself, could something have happened?

Sure enough, after he came over, he would report immediately: "Chairman, judging from the current pile driving situation, we may be in a little trouble."

Yang Fang immediately asked, "What's going on? Just tell us straight to the point."

He is the chief engineer of the construction of Hongtai Building. The foundation construction situation is the clearest, but he is currently facing difficulties.

Seeing Yang Fang say this, he no longer beat around the bush and said directly: "Before construction, we analyzed the geological conditions here, but at present, the actual situation is even more serious than we imagined..."

As he talked about the situation here, everyone gradually became silent.

Even laymen know that the construction of Hongtai Building has encountered unprecedented serious situations.

Most of Donghai City are alluvial plains, and 40 meters below the surface are silt.

Taking this situation into consideration, the construction plan of this skyscraper is very clear that in addition to digging a huge foundation pit of twenty meters deep, hundreds of ground piles need to be dug.

These ground piles must pass directly through the soft mud layer and reach the hard sandy layer firmly.

The original expectation was that the silt layer was about forty or fifty meters, and there should be a hard sandy layer below.

The design depth of the floor pile is also 60 meters. Now the deepest floor tiles have reached a depth of 60 meters, but there is no trace of the sand and soil layer, and it is still a soft mud layer.

How could this be the case?

Everyone's expressions became serious one by one. If such a skyscraper is not solid, it would be like a shaking earth and would be very dangerous.

Yang Fang waved his hand and said, "Let's go and take us to see the specific situation."

Under the leadership of this chief engineer, everyone and their group arrived next to one of the pile drivers.

A ground pile with a diameter of more than one meter and a depth of 60 meters has been basically completed.

Next to it is piled with soil that has been driven out of this stake.

The chief engineer pointed to the soil and said, "Look, it's all mud, and there is no trace of sand."

"Many of our engineers are very worried now, and some people even wonder if we will disarm this issue."

The meaning of surrendering is very clear, but this project cannot continue and can only give up.

A worrying feeling enveloped everyone's heart. Everyone said nothing, looking at the soil dug out of the ground clothes with a serious expression.

Someone even walked over, squatted down and grabbed a handful of such soil, looked at it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it for a long time without saying a word.

Yang Fang also knew that the matter was serious, so she thought about it and said, "Let's have a meeting to discuss it, and hold a live meeting here immediately."

Collective wisdom is far stronger than personal wisdom. Perhaps brainstorming can help you find a solution to the problem. Everyone agrees with Yang Fang's decision.

After a few phone calls, some people came over one after another, with engineering and technical personnel, and construction management personnel here.

After everyone was here, Yang Fang personally presided over the on-site office meeting. First, the chief engineer asked the general situation to explain the situation and then said.

"We have encountered such a problem. Everyone mentions their own opinions, speak freely, and don't have any scruples."

Everyone's speeches were also very enthusiastic. Some people advocated changing the design and increasing the number of ground piles, from the current 400 to more than 600, or more than 800.

Some people also suggest that the depth of the foundation pit can be increased by a few meters to the original design depth, and even a depth of 25 meters can be reached.

However, this suggestion has been opposed by many people. On the surface, the depth of the foundation pit has only increased by a few meters, but the cost is very huge.

The area of ​​this foundation pit is so huge, reaching a scale of more than 20,000 square meters. The increase in depth of several meters indicates that the concrete layer will also increase by several meters accordingly. How much does it cost to have so much reinforced concrete!

When everyone's opinions could not be unified for a long time, Yang Fan still stood up.

He clearly remembered that during the construction of the JM Building, the depth of the ground piles reached more than 80 meters.

Continue to increase the depth of the ground pile, the cost is the lowest. While the current 60 meters increase to 80 meters or even 90 meters, it will be hit to a hard sandy layer.

So, Yang Fan said loudly: "I have a suggestion for your reference."

Everyone quickly calmed down, and the people who were arguing looked at Yang Fan one by one, and they were slightly shocked.

Everyone knows that this is the chairman's younger brother. It is precisely because of this that I know even more that Yang Fan is not a professional in construction engineering.

What good advice can such a non-professional person have?

So many people all looked at Yang Fan. In everyone's eyes, Yang Fan seemed very calm and his voice was very bright.

"We have discussed it for so long and expressed various opinions. I think that in this situation, the most effective way is to increase the depth of the ground piles and continue to dig deep down to 80 meters or even 90 meters based on the design depth of 60 meters. How about it?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately said, "This is definitely not possible, things are not that simple."
Chapter completed!
