To consolidate and deepen the outcomes of Party‑discipline study and education, and to foster a positive atmosphere of observing rules and discipline while pursuing work and entrepreneurship, in accordance with the requirements of the notices issued by the Bureau (Group) Party Committee and the Institute (Company) Party Committee on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct, the Party Branch of the Geotechnical Company recently organized an activity. Pan Weicai, Deputy Secretary of the Institute Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, along with Peng Mingzhang, Member of the Party Committee and Vice President, joined Party members, cadres, and employees of the Geotechnical Company at the survey site of the Jiyang Wucun Integrated Renovation Project, where they carried out a themed Party Day event titled “Bringing Party Rules and Discipline to Construction Sites; Upholding Strict Discipline to Ensure Safety.”

At the project site, Project Manager Zhang Jian provided an overview of the project and led attendees in inspecting the on‑site safety measures, offering a detailed demonstration of the field procedures for engineering investigation. Site Supervisor Liu Yufeng then conducted on‑the‑spot training for the geotechnical company’s technical staff, covering the latest cloud‑based supervision system and the operational workflow and key considerations for the “Engineering Investigation Data Collection” app. Through hands‑on observation and learning, participants gained a profound appreciation for the transformative changes sweeping the geotechnical investigation sector and the advancing level of information‑technology integration in this field. Attendees unanimously agreed that, in this digital age, the geological services industry must maintain keen market insight, continuously adapt to evolving market conditions, and proactively pursue innovation and transformation—only then can it confidently meet diverse challenges and seize emerging opportunities.

During the Party‑day session, under the guidance of Branch Secretary Wu Weiwai, all participants revisited the full text of the “Eight Provisions of the CPC Central Committee” and its Implementation Rules. At the event, Pan Weicai delivered a special Party lecture on “Deeply Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the Eight Provisions,” interspersing his presentation with typical case studies to provide cautionary education. He offered clear, accessible explanations and answered questions on such topics as “What are the Eight Provisions?” “What is the spirit behind the Eight Provisions?” and “What are the specific manifestations of violations of that spirit?” Through this study and exchange, the attendees gained a profound understanding of the essential spirit of the Eight Provisions and pledged to lead by example in their work, resolutely address the “Four Undesirable Trends,” practice strict frugality, oppose extravagance and waste, maintain integrity in governance, and pursue pragmatic, results‑oriented work, thereby ensuring that the study and education efforts are carried out in depth and with tangible results.

During the discussion session, Zhang Lijun, head of the Geotechnical Engineering Company, provided a detailed overview of the company’s operational performance and business activities. He highlighted safety‑production measures, work procedures, and management practices for subcontracted labor teams. Drawing on the “quick, efficient, and cost‑effective” nature of engineering investigation projects, he facilitated an in-depth exchange among participants on safety considerations at each stage—before project commencement, during construction, and upon site closure. The session encouraged attendees to proactively develop innovative strategies in production and operations, explore diversified and innovative pathways for the geotechnical engineering sector, vigorously implement a “key‑client” strategy, and actively expand into overseas markets through initiatives such as “leveraging external partnerships.” The goal is to achieve continuous progress and breakthroughs in the field of geotechnical engineering. At the same time, maintaining unwavering vigilance over safety, the company is committed to ensuring that its year‑round safety‑production efforts proceed smoothly and in an orderly manner.

This thematic Party‑day activity has seamlessly integrated work style development with workplace safety, employing a format of “Three Meetings and One Lesson plus specialized seminars” to help all participants deeply understand that upholding the spirit of the CPC Central Committee’s Eight‑Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct must be closely aligned with their respective professional roles. Participants unanimously pledged to actively implement the requirements for improving work style, earnestly strengthen safety awareness across the board, and ensure that Party members lead by example, fully exercising their role as pioneers and models. In doing so, they aim to ensure that the spirit of the Eight‑Point Decision takes firm root at the front lines of surveying and exploration, injecting red‑spirit momentum into Shandong Institute’s efforts to become an industry benchmark.
