However, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the natural gas pipeline project from Hulin to Changchun, the scene was quite different despite the extreme cold. The construction site was filled with the roaring of the Xionggu’sautomatic welding machine, with sparks flying from the welding. The entire project team was full of high spirits and confidence. Despite the unprecedented challenges brought by the harsh outdoor construction environment, they were ready to face them.
Faced with such harsh conditions, the team members did not back down. They rose to the challenge, united and fought against the wind and snow. Despite the difficult construction environment, every staff member showed remarkable perseverance. They were unwavering in their efforts to complete this daunting task. This winter construction battle was not only a severe test for the Xionggu’sautomatic welding machine, but also a test of the willpower and perseverance of the entire project team. They demonstrated true dedication and hard work through their actions, and wrote a brilliant chapter with their sweat. In such extreme cold, the Xionggu’spipeline automatic welding machine successfully and efficiently completed the welding task, ensuring the smooth progress of the project.
