In a jaw-dropping feat of engineering, China just installed the Haiji-2 deepwater jacket—a colossal structure taller than the Eiffel Tower and heavier than 25,000 SUVs! 🚗💨 Anchored in the Pearl River Mouth Basin after a marathon 16-hour operation, this bad boy is rewriting Asia's offshore energy playbook.
Standing at 338.5 meters (that's taller than Tokyo Skytree's needle!) and weighing 37,000 tonnes, Haiji-2 smashes records for depth, height, and construction speed. Think of it as the ultimate foundation for offshore oil and gas rigs—basically the Beyoncé of marine infrastructure. 💁♂️✨
Shu Wei, a project manager at Offshore Oil Engineering Co., spilled the tea: 'We used China's largest crane vessel, the Lanjing 7500, to pull off this precision move—like threading a needle at the bottom of the ocean.' 🔧🌏
This milestone isn't just about bragging rights—it could reshape energy strategies across Asia's rapidly growing economies. For young professionals tracking green tech and infrastructure trends, Haiji-2 shows how the Chinese mainland is diving deeper (literally) into innovative energy solutions. ⚡🌍
