Strengthening the Construction of High-Level Engineering Technology Centers
In recent years, with the continuous undertaking of large-scale bridge steel structure projects with relatively high technical difficulty, Zhongtai Bridges has also increased its R&D investment in engineering application technology and placed great emphasis on the construction of the company's engineering technology center. Through measures such as improving technical equipment and research conditions, and introducing senior technical talents, the strength of Zhongtai Bridges' technology center continues to grow.
Bridge steel structure engineering, as a comprehensive technical project involving multiple application technology fields such as materials, welding, and engineering, requires enterprises to have the ability to coordinate expert teams from various technical fields for specific projects. Correspondingly, bridge steel structure engineering companies need to conduct scientific research cooperation with external experts on relevant projects to overcome corresponding technical difficulties.
Establishing a Technical Incentive Mechanism and Improving Technical Talent Reserves
At the same time, the engineering technology center closely monitors and tracks the latest technological development trends in all related technical fields of the domestic and international bridge steel structure industry, conducts corresponding technical reserves and product practices, and continuously maintains the advancement and vitality of Zhongtai Bridges' application technology.
What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent! China News Service learned that Zhongtai Bridges, which focuses on bridge steel structure engineering business, has extended its frontlines of talent discovery and cultivation to universities in order to take its technological innovation to the next level. A relevant person in charge of Zhongtai Bridges stated that it will continue to strengthen the reserve of technical talents through a combination of self-cultivation and external introduction.
"Since its establishment, Zhongtai Bridges has undertaken the steel structure projects of dozens of characteristic bridges that enjoy a prestigious reputation in the world bridge community. Its continuous technological innovation mechanism and talent reserve are one of the crucial factors for Zhongtai Bridges' continuous growth."
During its long-term development, Zhongtai Bridges has cultivated a high-level talent pool covering various related technical fields of the bridge steel structure engineering industry through self-cultivation and external introduction. At the same time, it has formed a multi-layered technical team consisting of technical experts, technical backbone, and technical backup forces, with a relatively complete technical hierarchy and talent reserve, ensuring the orderly implementation of Zhongtai Bridges' technological innovation mechanism and laying a solid technical talent foundation for its continuous development.
According to an introduction by relevant persons in charge, currently, based on Zhongtai Bridges' business development goals, within the next 2-3 years, the company will continue to focus on bridge steel structure engineering business and strengthen the construction of the Zhongtai Bridges Technology Center, aiming to build the company's engineering technology center into a leading domestic technical platform. "Zhongtai Bridges adopts a method mainly based on independent research and development, supplemented by joint research and development, to continuously enhance its engineering technology capabilities, thereby improving the product structure and engineering technology level of the company's bridge steel structures."
In December 2010, Zhongtai Bridges signed a "Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation Agreement" with Shanghai Jiaotong University. Both parties agreed to carry out industry-academia-research cooperation for five years starting from the signing of the agreement. The main cooperation content includes: jointly building a postdoctoral workstation for material science and an engineering technology center for welding technology, promoting the industrialization of relevant scientific research projects of Zhongtai Bridges, jointly conducting research on welding technology and major technical breakthroughs, and enhancing the development and application of automation technology in welding processes.
Both parties also agreed in the agreement that the amount and payment method of project cooperation research funds would be separately agreed upon in specific cooperation projects; other matters not covered would be further negotiated by both parties according to specific circumstances.
While continuously improving the welfare benefits of technical personnel, Zhongtai Bridges implements a technical incentive mechanism linking the benefits of scientific research achievements with employee interests. It combines specific technical research and development projects to incentivize technical personnel with project bonuses, significantly increasing their enthusiasm and initiative for innovation and attracting more experienced professional talents to join.
Collaborating with Universities to Enhance Technical Capabilities
In 2010, Zhongtai Bridges' enterprise engineering technology center was rated as a provincial-level enterprise technology center, enabling it to provide strong technical support for Zhongtai Bridges' engineering business at a higher platform.
During the implementation of projects, Zhongtai Bridges conducted various forms of technical research and development cooperation with the test centers, technology centers of multiple related enterprises, and the technical teams of universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tongji University, and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, providing new ideas and theoretical support for enhancing Zhongtai Bridges' technical strength and innovating existing technologies.
