The Group has established a “unified command, standardized and orderly, scientific and efficient” winter snow removal emergency management system, coordinating snow removal preparations and initiating snow removal across all regions and projects. We have strengthened the emergency response to winter snow removal by organizing comprehensive snow removal operation training, compiling detailed operation manuals, and strictly supervising snow removal drills in each project. This ensures that in actual operations, we can “prepare in advance, rehearse in advance, and be in place in advance.” Faced with three major temperature drops in November of 2023 and extreme cold weather in December of 2023, the Group successfully completed snow removal operation tasks across various regions and projects including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, earning high praise from local governments.

In response to the increasingly severe challenges of climate change, the Group actively upgrades heatstroke prevention and cooling measures, with refined optimization for positions with high physical labour intensity. In the Jiangxi Beikong project, the team paid special attention to the particularities of the disassembly work station. By extending the water-cooled air ducts, the cooling effect was enhanced to ensure that employees remain comfortable in high-temperature environments. At the same time, work hours were flexibly adjusted to avoid peak heat periods, with increased rest times to safeguard employee health and work efficiency. Additionally, we equipped disassembly workers with air-conditioned vests equipped with fans, effectively reducing body surface temperatures and providing a cool working environment, which set a good example for summer heatstroke prevention and cooling efforts.

By establishing a flexible and efficient environmental sanitation emergency support system, the Group ensures the smooth implementation of various emergency work tasks in extreme weather such as snow removal, flood prevention and typhoon. The Group adopts the “people, objects and things” emergency mode and uses the intelligent sanitation management system to form an all-weather emergency team with practical skills, rich experience and excellent conduct; the Group also adopts “environmentally friendly, efficient, and safe” emergency equipment and measures to ensure all emergency operations are carried out effectively.

Heavy rainfall: In response to the impact of heavy rainfall on the projects during the flood season, the Group issued the Notice on Strengthening Urban Flood Control (《關於加強城服防汛工作的通知》), requiring projects to increase their awareness of flood control responsibility, establish a flood control system of organization and guarantee, conduct emergency rehearsals in advance, prepare flood control material reserves, strengthen flood control on-duty, ensure the safety of flood control personnel, submit flood control information effectively, and ensure the implementation of measures from all aspects. In the face of the heavy rain in Dingxing County in July 2022, Dingxing project reacted quickly and dispatched more than 400 sanitation workers, 6 water trucks, 5 cleaning trucks, 7 trucks, thoroughly cleaned up the dirt and silt on the road with serious waterlogging, and removed roadblocks to ensure road traffic safety and restore the appearance of Dingxing.

Typhoon: For typhoon in South China, the Group organized several projects in South China to cope calmly. During the passing of Typhoon “Siem ba”, the Maoming Project sent compression vehicles for more than 100 times, and removed more than 50cars of broken branches, fallen leaves and more than 100 tons of household garbage caused by the typhoon. The Xinhui Project dispatched 3,804 person-time sanitation operation personnel, 612maintenance vehicles and three-wheel electric cleaning vehicles, found and treated 347 fallen trees and broken branches, and cleared 754 manholes and 71 drains.

Heavy Snow: In order to effectively complete the heavy snow clearing work and minimize the adverse impact of snow and ice weather on urban traffic, each project of the Group shall carry out the snow clearing and deicing work orderly according to the different snowfall amount, so as to minimize the impact of snowfall and ensure the smooth road. During the snow weather, the project is fully prepared to keep the communication of personnel at all positions, ensure that the mechanized snow clearing and snow melting equipment is in place, and carry out the snow clearing and deicing line drill before the snow. In 2022, Shenyang Huanggu Project made full use of the newly purchased small multifunctional electric snow remover, and for the first time adopted the continuous operation mode of “electric snow remover + manual combination” in back streets and alleys to improve the efficiency of snow removal. During the snowfall period, more than 800 people were dispatched, more than 80vehicles were dispatched, and more than 30 tons of snow melting agent were used to ensure the safety and smooth travel of the general public in the morning rush hour.
