In 2014, the State Railway Bureau conscientiously implemented the spirit of the meeting organized by the State Council Deputy Prime Minister Ma Kai under the leadership of the railway construction conference held in Xi’an and strengthened the supervision over the quality and safety of projects under construction. He organized and launched a special rectification of the prevention and collapse of railway construction projects. The government took special actions to control violations, implemented more than 190 supervision and inspections of construction projects, and imposed over 11.68 million yuan of administrative penalties on the state treasury, eliminating a number of engineering construction safety risks; actively participating in the advancement of projects, and organizing experts to research and propose a white tone. The review opinions of many construction projects from China to Jinzhou Port Railway promoted the implementation of the project; improved the technical standards and specifications for railway construction; compiled and issued a batch of railways such as the “Intercity Rail Design Code” and “High-speed Railway Design Code”. Building standards; strengthening research on railway development planning, and putting forward the basic ideas for the “13th Five-Year Plan” for railway development; in accordance with the requirements of relevant state departments, the state has completed and completed the national acceptance of Yuhuai Railway and Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway. At the same time, it actively accepted and investigated and dealt with complaints and reports on the quality and safety of railway construction projects and tendering and bidding activities, severely cracked down on illegal activities in railway construction activities, and provided law guarantee for accelerating the construction of railways and ensuring the quality and safety of projects.

Focusing on implementing the spirit of this year’s railway construction work in some regions, Lu Dongfu stressed that the overall situation must further strengthen the overall awareness of services, and fully understand the importance of accelerating the construction of railways for steady growth, structural adjustment, and benefiting the people’s livelihood, so as to better play the profession Advantages, do a good job in service supervision, support and protection work.

1. Strengthen supervision of project quality and safety in railway construction projects and intensify supervision of administrative law enforcement. First, in accordance with the authority of project management responsibilities, supervise the construction unit and all participating companies to implement the main responsibility for quality and safety, give full play to the supervision and protection role of professional organizations, effectively strengthen the supervision of the industry, implement the supervision responsibilities of relevant departments and local governments, and simplify the devolution of power. Put it in place, supervision and supervision are in place. The second is to carry out in-depth railway construction projects to carry out special inspections and inspections of construction programs, special inspections for “non-compliance”, and implementation of construction quality and safety measures in special periods such as flood seasons and winters, and to strengthen the implementation of rectification of major quality and safety hazards. Supervising and supervising, promoting the high-quality and efficient construction of the railway. The third is to highlight the railway projects in the central and western regions, the construction of long and large tunnels, high-piers and long-span bridges, high slopes and roads, as well as the supervision and inspection of railway construction projects with complex geology, difficult construction, and high safety risks, and urge relevant units to strengthen quality. Safety awareness, improve quality and safety prevention and control system. Fourth, strengthen relevant complaints and reports, investigation and handling of quality and safety accidents, and law enforcement supervision and inspections, severely investigate and punish illegal activities such as cutting corners and materials, “three violations” and other violations, implement administrative penalties in strict accordance with the law, establish and improve a system of information disclosure for administrative punishments, and punish unlawful and untrustworthy behaviors. Regulate the railway construction market order.

2. Actively participate in and advance the preliminary work of the railway construction project and carefully organize the preparation of the “13th Five-Year Plan” development plan for the railway. Firstly, 29 key projects planned for new projects in 2015 will be quickly organized to conduct feasibility study review, timely submit industry opinions, and provide professional support for project approval. The second is to deepen the basic ideas for the completed "13th Five-Year Plan" development plan for railways, and widely listen to opinions from relevant departments and local governments. The first draft of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for railways will be completed in the first half of this year. In the coming period, we will maintain a healthy and rapid development. We will do a good job in the overall design of the plan and provide project reserves.

3. Strengthen the study of laws and regulations and standards, and serve the needs of railway construction and operation. The first is to conduct in-depth studies on the legislative issues of the "Law on Railways" and "Regulations on Railway Transport," focusing on the revision of the "Regulations on Railway Traffic Accident Emergency Rescue and Investigation and Handling" and the improvement of the supporting rules and regulations for the "Regulations on Railway Safety Management." "Rules for the recall of defective equipment for railway equipment" and other 4 regulations. To increase the publicity of the newly issued regulations "Quality Supervision and Administration of Railway Construction Projects", refine the supervision measures, and pay close attention to the revision of the Interim Measures for the Supervision of the Railway Construction Market, the "Administrative Measures on the Evaluation of the Railway Construction Project Experts," and " The Measures for the Publication of Records of Bad Behavior of Railway Construction Projects etc. The second is based on the completion of the “Intercity Rail Design Code” and the “High-Speed ​​Railway Design Code”, and focuses on the preparation of specifications such as “Railway Technical Management Regulations,” “High-speed EMU Technical Conditions,” and “Design Guidelines for Heavy-duty Railways.” As well as the promotion of relevant specifications and the design of supporting standards, the safety, economical efficiency, and reliability of the construction and operation of railway projects have been continuously improved.

4. We will deepen and simplify government powers and decentralization, and strive to release market vitality for the development of railway construction. First, in accordance with the State Council's unified deployment, clean up and cancel all railway non-administrative permit examination and approval matters, and at the same time further standardize and improve administrative licensing work, especially for the on-line operation permission of the new intercity EMU (CRH6 type), we must establish a convenient channel to speed up the approval The process provides good services for the development of intercity railways. The second is to refine the specific implementation measures for the newly promulgated regulations “Measures for Admission of Railway Transport Enterprises”, and create a good regulatory and policy environment for attracting social capital to invest in the construction and operation of railways.

5. Continue to organize the state acceptance of railway construction projects. Summarize the state acceptance experience of Yuhuai Railway and Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, study and formulate the “Measures for the Implementation of State Acceptance of Railway Construction Projects”, strengthen the coordination and communication with relevant departments, and improve the state acceptance mechanism for railway construction projects. In accordance with the requirements of the unified deployment of the National Development and Reform Commission, we must promptly launch and carry out state acceptance work so as to promote the results of railway construction as soon as possible and to better serve the economic and social development and the people.
