The water supply engineering design
specialty of SMEDI was founded in 1954. It is one of the earliest design
institutes being engaged in the water supply design specialty. After the
pioneering work for 40 odd years, it has developed to have the
comprehensively professional design groups with the complete type of the
water supply, electricity, instrument, automatic control, building, civil
construction, mechanism, heating and ventilation, financial estimate and
budget, technical economy, rock soil, survey and etc. There are 160
professional technicians, among them 12 professor senior engineers and 38
senior engineers.
Over 40
years, SMEDI has completed about 600 water supply engineering planning
design projects. The total engineering design scope has reached 42,000,000
m3/d, in which including the largest scope of the urban waterworks in our
country, the industrial water supply to the large-size enterprise, the
seawater intake of nuclear power plant, the purification plant
independently invested by the foreign company (BOT project), the
large-size urban long-distance water diversion, the large-area water
supply, the river-mouth reservoir intake and etc.
SMEDI
attaches importance to the development and application of the new
technology, new technique and new structure, and converts the achievements
in scientific research into the productive forces in time. SMEDI creates
the double-valve filter, static mixer, siphon movable hood backwash
filter, cast-in-situ steel reinforced concrete pressure conveying channel,
building-up water tank and the other structures in our country; positively
introduces the foreign advanced technology and technique; is the first to
complete the application of the new technology of the V-shape filter and
continuously improves and enhances it so as to achieve the good result.
SMEDI optimizes the system in the engineering design to save the
engineering investment and operation cost.
The water
supply works designed by SMEDI has won many prizes of excellent design
issued by the State, the Ministry and the Municipality. Since 1980, SMEDI
has won 4 prizes of excellent design issued by the State, 9 prizes of
excellent design issued by the Ministry of Construction, 16 prizes of
excellent design and 2 prizes of science and technology advancement issued
by Shanghai Municipality. Among them, Baosteel Changjiang River Diversion
Project has won the gold medal prize of the State, Huangpu River Upper
Reaches Diversion Stage I Project has won the silver medal prize of the
State.
Entrusted
by the Ministry of Construction, SMEDI, as the management unit of
<<Outdoor Water Supply Design Standard>>, is responsible for
the compilation and interpretation of the standard. In addition, SMEDI has
completed the compilation of many state standard catalogues and the chief
editing work of <<Water Supply & Drainage Design
Handbook>>.
SMEDI
takes part in the design and negotiation of more than 10 projects
utilizing the foreign investment. The projects, besides the World Bank and
the Asian Development Bank, involve about 10 states and regions of
British, France, Japan, Spain, Austria, Australia, North America and
Northern Europe. SMEDI has accumulated the experience and set up the good
prestige in the foreign technical negotiation, the compilation of the
international competitive bidding document, the cooperation of the foreign
consultant companies and etc.
SMEDI
sincerely provides the excellent design and good service to the
construction units, does its bit for the construction of the water supply
works.
