China Mining News: Why should we vigorously develop and promote the application of mechanism sand and gravel?

Association experts:Promoting the healthy and orderly development of the sand and gravel industry is mainly based on the following considerations:

First, the construction of ecological civilization is a millennium plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Due to the limited natural sand and gravel resources, unplanned and unscientific exploitation of natural sand and gravel resources has caused serious damage to the ecological environment. It is urgent to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional sand and gravel industry and green development. High-quality development mechanism sand and gravel will become the only way for the transformation and development of the sand and gravel industry in the new era.

The second is the high-quality aggregate produced by the modern mechanism sand and gravel standardization factory, and its quality has reached or exceeded the quality of natural sand and gravel. In 1952, my country prepared to build the first mechanism sand and gravel production line in Beijing Nankou Quarrying Plant, and began to produce mechanism sand and gravel on a large scale. It was first applied to ten major buildings such as the Great Hall of the People in 1958. Later, the Maopinghe Dam, the Three Gorges Dam, the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, the Xiongan New Area, the Beijing Summer Olympics, the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Beijing Sub-Center and other national key projects, as well as construction projects such as subways, highways, and high-end office buildings, all used machine-made sand or Mechanism gravel, and the effect is good.

Third, the mechanism sand and gravel industrial system is basically perfect, and a sound standard system and quality control are becoming more and more complete. The output, quality and price of mechanism sand and gravel are stable, which can continuously provide abundant raw materials for economic construction.

Fourth, the mechanism sand and gravel industry can drive resource exploration, mining, blasting, mine transportation, sand and gravel production technology, technology, equipment, inspection, education, training, and talent output, as well as the upstream and downstream related industries such as intelligent manufacturing and smart mines that have emerged in recent years. The healthy development of related industries has created a related industrial output value of several trillion yuan. Mechanism sand and gravel has become the "engine and growth pole" for steady economic growth and the development of new infrastructure, playing a key supporting role in developing and expanding the manufacturing industry, cultivating stable and sustainable tax sources, and enhancing the new impetus for economic development.

Fifth, "China sand and gravel" has grown into a shining national business card, and it is imperative to vigorously develop and promote the application of mechanism sand and gravel. China is already the world's largest market for applied mechanism sand and gravel, with an annual usage of about 20 billion tons and an output value of 2 trillion billion yuan, accounting for about half of the world's total. After 40 years of great-leap-forward development, China's mechanism sand and gravel scale and efficiency have leapt to the first in the world, and a number of new practical technologies have been independently innovated. The world's sand and gravel look at China, China's sand and gravel industry has been in an important position in the world's sand and gravel industry.

As China's economy shifts to high-quality development and new infrastructure accelerates, there is still great potential for the high-quality development of China's sand and gravel industry.

China Mining News: How to ensure the healthy development of the industry and ensure supply?

Association experts:In recent years, various localities have thoroughly studied and implemented Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization, made overall plans, combined dredging and blocking, rectified and standardized the order of sand and gravel resource mine development and management, and achieved remarkable results. At the same time, due to the continuous acceleration of my country's urbanization process, the rapid growth of investment in infrastructure construction, the increasingly stringent requirements for ecological environmental protection and safety supervision, the closure and elimination of backward sand and gravel enterprises and production capacity, the supply of sand and gravel in many places is in short supply and prices. Soaring, the contradiction between supply and demand is very prominent.

In the face of the severe situation of serious shortage of sand and gravel in various places, it is very important to ensure that the national and local infrastructure investment forms physical quantity and guarantee the supply. The main ways include: to take various corresponding measures to promote the existing mechanism of sand and gravel mining enterprises to reach production capacity; For sand and gravel enterprises that have been shut down, after legal reorganization and rectification, speed up production; For sand and gravel enterprises whose mining rights are about to expire, the term of mining rights can be extended according to the actual situation, and the corresponding sand and gravel resources can be approved, relying on the original production line equipment to produce sand and gravel aggregate; actively put sand and gravel mining rights to strengthen the convergence of resource-rich areas and areas with high demand. Integrate and reorganize small enterprises and lay out large sand and gravel production bases; make full use of tailings and waste stone produced by existing decorative stone mines, iron ores, non-ferrous metal mines, etc. to produce mechanism sand and gravel aggregates; for areas with sufficient mechanism sand and gravel production capacity in China, such as Chengde, Tangshan, Guizhou and other places in Hebei, speed up the construction of special channels for mechanism sand and gravel transportation, expand sand and gravel sales channels, and promote local enterprises to release capacity.

While ensuring the supply, we should also pay attention to the healthy and sustainable development of the mechanism sand and gravel industry. In-depth implementation of the "Several Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of the Mechanism Sand and Stone Industry" jointly issued by ten national departments, reasonable planning and layout, building green mines, focusing on scientific and technological innovation, etc., to promote the high-quality development of the industry.

China Mining News: Why should we speed up the formation of high-quality production capacity of mechanism sand and gravel, and how to achieve it?

Association experts:At present, mechanism sand aggregate is rapidly replacing natural sand and gravel and is widely used in infrastructure construction markets such as buildings. However, on the whole, there are still some enterprises with poor quality indexes of mechanism sand and gravel, which are manifested as: poor particle shape of coarse aggregate (gravel), poor grading, excessive stone powder and poor particle shape of mechanism sand, and even weathered sand mixed into sand and gravel supply chain. Because the proportion of high quality mechanism sand and gravel is still small, low-quality mechanism sand and gravel supply a large number of construction market, affecting the performance of concrete, and even a serious threat to the quality of construction projects.

At present, most of the concrete companies that use mechanism sand are mixed with natural sand and mechanism sand. The main reason is that some indicators of mechanism sand are not up to standard. However, with the continuous decline of the quality and supply of natural river sand, this contradiction has become increasingly prominent. Modern concrete is to large mobility as the main body, ready-mixed concrete is the first to meet the pump performance, the requirements of concrete mixture slurry large flow, no segregation, no bleeding. Moreover, in recent years, China's construction projects have higher and higher requirements for the strength, crack resistance and durability of concrete. Objectively, the requirements for the quality of sand and gravel aggregate products are more stringent. To a large extent, it can be said that without good sand and gravel aggregate, it is difficult to stabilize the production quality to meet the requirements of concrete, let alone produce high-performance concrete. Therefore, speeding up the formation of high-quality production capacity of mechanism sand and gravel is the objective demand of China's infrastructure construction, and is the prerequisite for ensuring and improving the quality and service life of infrastructure construction projects.

To achieve high-quality production capacity of mechanism sand and gravel as soon as possible, the main way lies in the following aspects:

One is to raise the threshold. In the layout, approval and acceptance of large and medium-sized sand and gravel processing and production bases, the ability and level of producing high quality aggregates are required; in the qualification evaluation and certification of enterprises in the sand and gravel industry, high-quality production capacity requirements are included in the terms. The technical basis is T/CBMF38-2018 T/CAATB001-2018 "Aggregate for High Performance Concrete" or JG/T568-2019 "Aggregate for High Performance Concrete".

The second is high quality and good price. In order to encourage the continuous improvement of the production capacity and proportion of high quality sand and gravel aggregate, it is necessary to implement and form the market rules and atmosphere of high quality and good price. In terms of forming the guiding price of sand and gravel aggregate and the price basis of project cost, all regions should be treated separately according to the two levels of high quality sand and gravel aggregate and ordinary sand and gravel aggregate, reflecting the principle of high quality and good price of sand and gravel aggregate products.

The third is policy encouragement. For enterprises that produce high quality aggregates, priority and preferential policies will be given to the approval and continuation of mining rights, the guarantee of factors such as land, logistics, resources, and corporate commendation, rewards, and support, and encourage and guide sand and gravel production enterprises to transform and upgrade, and take the brand The road of construction.

China Mining News: how to strengthen the overall coordination of industries and regions, optimize the planning and layout of the sand and gravel industry, so as to avoid ups and downs?

Association experts:In order to implement the spirit of "several opinions on promoting the high-quality development of the mechanism sand and gravel industry" issued by ten departments, we should strengthen the overall coordination of industries and regions, optimize the planning and layout of the mechanism sand and gravel industry, especially in key areas, avoid the fluctuation of demand balance, effectively guide the development and layout of sand and gravel through planning space guidance, and promote the coordination of resource development and environmental protection.

First, according to the needs of economic and social development, we should plan the layout as a whole, strengthen the supply side structural reform, optimize the regional layout or cross regional coordination to ensure the supply of resources, coordinate the relationship between development and protection, and promote the healthy, orderly and sustainable development of the sand and gravel industry according to the regional resource endowment conditions, combined with the characteristics of irreplaceable sand and gravel products and small transportation radius.

The second is to strengthen the top-level design of planning, planning to establish large-scale mechanism sand and gravel factories and large-scale high-quality raw material mining bases to ensure the stable supply of high quality mechanism sand and gravel and the demand for high-quality mineral resources. Investment and construction need to take into account factors such as mineral resources, market demand, transportation and logistics, and establish a reasonable mechanism sand and gravel supply system in accordance with the requirements of safety, environmental protection, and functional areas. Key areas in the regional planning balance at the same time, strengthen the linkage with other provinces. By 2025, 20 modern large-scale mechanism sand and gravel production plants with an annual output of more than 10 million tons will be planned and built in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, central urban agglomerations, provincial capital cities, waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and freight transportation railways. At the same time, supporting the planning and construction of 20 annual output of more than 10 million tons of large-scale raw material mining base. Through planning and integration, we will speed up the elimination of backward production capacity, and achieve 40% of the country's large and medium-sized sand and gravel raw material mines and large and medium-sized sand and gravel production plants. The rational layout of cities and counties serves local sand and gravel processing bases or distribution centers, supports the accelerated construction of large-scale projects, forms new high-quality production capacity as soon as possible, and guarantees the construction of key projects.

The third is to attach importance to the scientific connection between resource planning and industrial policy. In the past, sand and gravel aggregate raw materials were not reflected enough in the national mineral resource planning. In recent years, under the constraints of environmental and resource policies, sand and gravel raw material mines have encountered long-term indiscriminate production, rectification, and closure, resulting in a shortage of sand and gravel market and price fluctuations. Huge, leading to serious impact on sand and gravel production enterprises, concrete production enterprises, and capital construction projects, which has attracted great attention from the country and the whole society. In order to cope with the development of green mines in the sand and gravel industry in the direction of large-scale, intensive, park-based, and intelligent, mineral resource policies and management methods need to be adjusted urgently, strengthen planning and implementation, extend the time limit for setting mining rights, expand the supply of resource reserves, and strengthen enterprises Confidence in investment in green mines and green factories.

China Mining News: why should we establish and improve the standard system of sand and gravel industry and improve the level of quality and safety control?

Association experts:First, the mechanism sand and gravel has become the main product of sand and gravel aggregate, the mechanism sand and gravel industry has developed into an independent industrial system, but the current level of development of the mechanism sand and gravel industry is relatively lagging behind, from the requirements of industrial production, downstream industry development needs, circular economy construction needs, there is a gap, it is urgent to guide and standardize the development of the industry. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the standard system of sand and gravel industry and improve the level of quality control. Only when the standard system is sound and advanced, can the sand and gravel industry have a solid foundation to achieve transformation and upgrading and high-quality development, and support and guarantee the quality of the project.

Second, high-level quality control is an important guarantee for the high-quality development of the sand and gravel industry. The sand and gravel industry has entered the era of large mines and is in a period of rapid development. Improving product quality is the top priority. The quality of aggregate determines the quality of concrete, and the quality of concrete determines The quality of construction projects; the quality control and safety production supervision of sand and gravel aggregates are particularly important. Without strict control measures for quality and safety production, the sand and gravel industry cannot talk about healthy development.

Third, in 2019, the sand and gravel industry promulgated the standard of "basic conditions for laboratories of mechanism sand and gravel production enterprises". At present, enterprises are stepping up the construction of laboratories and quality management system, which is the basic requirement for the development of sand and gravel industry. Therefore, the improvement of quality control is an urgent task for the sand and gravel industry, and should also be included in the requirements of planning, design and acceptance, and as the basic requirements of the enterprise qualification and evaluation system. Enterprises should be encouraged to establish product quality traceability system and product quality file system. Promote the application of big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, etc. in the quality control process of the mechanism sand and gravel industry. Continuously optimize management, strengthen process control, and comprehensively improve the level of quality and safety control.

China Mining News: How to play the leading and exemplary role of large-scale sand and gravel backbone enterprises?

Association experts:At present, the development of the mechanism sand and gravel industry needs to lead and demonstrate in many aspects: first, the construction of green mines should be led by demonstration; Second, the promotion of product quality standards should be led by demonstration. Third, intelligent manufacturing in the industry should be led by demonstration. And these "leading demonstration" must rely on large-scale sand and gravel backbone enterprises. Therefore, relevant government departments should give more support to large sand and gravel aggregate enterprises in terms of resource allocation, policy support, and tax incentives. At the same time, they are required to work hard in energy saving, safe production, environmental protection, and building harmonious mining areas. Take more social responsibilities and show a good corporate image to the public in order to better promote large enterprises to play a leading and exemplary role.

It is recommended that the government comprehensively use guidance, market regulation and other means to encourage and support powerful large-scale backbone enterprises to integrate and reorganize existing sand and gravel resource mining enterprises through mergers, acquisitions, and integration, and strive to create mining standards, ecological environmental protection, and safety Large-scale mining enterprises with production, intensive and efficient.

China Mining News: Why should we promote the integration and reorganization of sand and gravel resources and resolutely eliminate small scattered sand and gravel enterprises with backward production technology, serious environmental pollution and high safety risks?

Association experts:The integration and reorganization of resources for traditional sand and gravel enterprises is not only conducive to government management, but also has the following benefits.

First, it is conducive to the protection of the ecological environment. Small scattered sand and gravel enterprises have low technology and management levels, violate resource and environmental laws and regulations, and pollute the environment. These enterprises will be suspended or closed in accordance with the law, and the scale of mining and resource utilization will be improved, which is conducive to improving the ecological environment and improving safe production conditions. Enhance the industry's ability to ensure social and economic development.

Second, it is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of the sand and gravel industry. Through market-oriented and legal means to implement integration and reorganization, transform the mechanism of sand and gravel inefficient production capacity, and enhance industrial concentration, it is conducive to building a cross regional sand and gravel enterprise group with advanced management, excellent equipment, reliable quality, intrinsic safety, beautiful environment and outstanding brand, and is conducive to large sand and gravel enterprise groups to carry out technology, format and business model innovation, Promote the coordinated development with equipment, construction, cement, concrete, logistics and other enterprises.

Three is conducive to the development of industrial integration. By cultivating large-scale sand and gravel enterprise groups, combining demand traction and innovation drive, we will promote the close connection between mechanism sand and gravel enterprises and downstream users, and accelerate the development of high quality mechanism sand and gravel and special sand and gravel aggregate products. Promote the construction of an integrated ecological zone for mechanism sand and gravel, ecological agriculture, ecological forestry, ecological hotels, and eco-tourism, and develop new formats for the mechanism sand and gravel industry that integrates primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

China Mining News: How to reduce or eliminate the risk of overcapacity after expanding production capacity?

Association experts:Reasonable layout, improve the supply system. Relying on large and medium-sized construction projects, rational layout throughout the country, integration of high-quality sand and gravel resources, mining rights for large-scale sand and gravel resources, and construction of large-scale sand and gravel aggregate production and processing bases, it is necessary to ensure the supply of sand and gravel resources for key projects, improve the supporting transportation system, strengthen transportation security, promote "revolution to water" and "revolution to railway", and build special wharves and special railway lines, special railway lines shall be constructed as required. Radiation to the periphery with a point belt to achieve full coverage of the supply system in each area.

Local governments should take effective measures to control local sand and gravel resources, conduct detailed market research, make market forecasts, and rationally invest exploitable resources according to local market demand; at the same time, they must cultivate excellent, socially responsible, and protective Sand and gravel aggregate enterprises in the ecological environment can not only support key sand and gravel enterprises, but also effectively curb the momentum of blindly following the trend and avoid the formation of overcapacity in local areas. For sand and gravel mining enterprises, we should develop medium and high-end sand and gravel products to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, extend the industrial chain, enhance the ability of enterprises to resist risks, strengthen the research and judgment of market expectations, and resolve the risk of overcapacity.

China Mining News: How can local governments strengthen the protection of the guidance?

Association experts:Local governments should adjust and optimize the layout of sand and gravel development, improve product guarantee capabilities, build green mines, promote transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively promote the high-quality development of the sand and gravel industry. To achieve the four principles: adhere to the priority of protection, adhere to strict access, adhere to the transformation of the way, adhere to reform and innovation; four modernizations goal: centralization, scale, green, intelligent. Strengthen reasonable layout on the premise of insisting on planning first: according to the actual situation of resource endowment, market demand and logistics conditions, scientifically approve the number of mechanism sand and gravel enterprises in county-level cities, prefecture-level cities and provincial capital cities, encourage consultation with think tanks such as industry associations, and the production scale of new production capacity shall not be less than 1 million tons/year in principle. Comprehensively promote the construction of green mines, reorganize and integrate, standardize market order, strengthen mining in accordance with the law, crack down on illegal mining and digging, and restrict industry self-discipline. In principle:

One is planning first. All local governments should include sand and gravel resources as an important part of the new round of overall mineral resources planning at the same level, adjust and optimize the layout of stone mine development, and improve the guarantee capacity of sand and gravel products. According to the demand of the local sand and gravel market, it is necessary to take into account the endowment characteristics of stone resources, the current situation of development and utilization, environmental protection requirements, safety production conditions, transportation conditions, market supply coverage and other factors, delineate the centralized mining area of sand and gravel resources, reasonably determine the production capacity and supply scale of sand and gravel, scientifically set up the mining rights of sand and gravel resources, and reserve development space, To ensure the reasonable demand for sand and gravel resources in the medium and long-term economic and social development.

The second is ecological priority. All local governments should take the evaluation of local ecological environment carrying capacity as the premise, take green development as the guidance, adhere to the goal of "centralization, scale, green and intelligence", raise the entry threshold, scientifically set the number of mines and the scale of enterprises, and build a demonstration base for green ecological development of sand and gravel.

The third priority is protection. All local governments should organically integrate the protection of resources with the guarantee of development, start from the source, comprehensively promote the integration of sand and gravel resources, promote the transformation and upgrading of the sand and gravel industry, standardize the order of the sand and gravel market, and resolutely close and ban small-scale, serious pollution, and safety. Hidden dangers and other "scattered small" enterprises, severely crack down on unlicensed mining, destruction and waste of resources, and ensure the orderly and healthy development of the sand industry.

Four policies are in place. Strictly implement the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources's "Opinions on Promoting the Reform of Mineral Resources Management (Trial)", and accelerate the development of the "net ore" transfer method of sand and gravel mining rights. Give legal and standardized mechanisms for sand and gravel construction land, enterprise credit, recommend political honors such as deputies to the National people's Congress and members of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference, as well as comprehensive policy incentives such as selection and commendation, counterpart assistance (support) of leaders at all levels, and priority participation in electricity market transactions, and put in place. Encourage and support enterprises to become bigger and stronger to form a stable and sustainable tax source.

Five is to ensure production. Local governments and relevant departments shall treat sand and gravel enterprises with green certification such as national green mines, national green factories, mechanism sand and gravel demonstration bases recognized by national associations, and green production and green transportation certified by national associations. Local governments and relevant departments shall treat them differently in daily supervision and inspection such as environmental protection and inspection. On the premise of meeting the requirements of relevant national standards and specifications, various functional departments of local governments shall ensure the normal production of mechanism sand and gravel demonstration enterprises, differentiated treatment does not stop production and limit production at will. Give enterprises differentiated control during the control period of heavy pollution weather warning orange and below, and do not take "one size fits all" control measures.

China Mining News: How to give full play to the bridge and technical support role of industry associations to promote policy implementation?

Association experts:Industry organizations such as the China Sandstone Association should actively publicize the connotation and document spirit of the Guiding Opinions, feedback to the government the difficulties encountered by enterprises in the implementation process, assist the government in formulating relevant support policies, and provide opinions and suggestions for the development of enterprises.

One is to make policy. Promote the transformation of the industry from disorderly development to orderly development, and do a good job in the top-level design and planning of high-quality development of the industry. Provide suggestions and opinions for government decision-making, assist the government in formulating relevant policies, and improve policy and regulatory support for the high-quality development of the sand and gravel industry.

Two is the industrial layout. Participate in and guide the planning and layout of mechanism sand and gravel production capacity across the country, and form a unified work situation for the whole country. Governments at all levels and relevant functional departments should establish a linkage mechanism with the association, cooperate with each other, understand and grasp the real situation of enterprises and the development of the industry, integrate the "guiding opinions" into the operation and management of enterprises, help enterprises solve problems in development, and provide important support for the management of the government.

Three is the preparation of standard norms. Give full play to the role of association organizations and expert committees, organize experts to formulate and revise industry standards, build an industry standard system, and use standards to guide and promote enterprises to improve product quality.

Four is propaganda and guidance. Strengthen the guidance of public opinion, establish industry demonstrations, publicize typical demonstration enterprise cases and related practices, actively promote new models, new concepts, new technologies, etc., and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the sand and gravel industry. Guide social capital to enter the sand and gravel industry in an orderly manner, rationally arrange the sand and gravel industry, avoid disorderly competition in the market, and implement policies.

Fifth, technical support and management training. Organize and implement special training and publicize the contents of the Guidance document. The profound connotation of the "Guiding Opinions" is interpreted by regions for enterprises, so that the "Guiding Opinions" can be effectively implemented. Give full play to the intellectual resources and technical advantages of the expert committee, provide high-quality industrial consulting and technical support for local governments and member companies, do a good job in evaluation and certification management, academic exchanges, and technical consulting services, and cultivate policy, industry, and technology for the industry Professional technical and management personnel.
