Shaanxi Land Engineering Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. was founded in 2013 and is a subsidiary of Shaanxi Land Engineering Construction Group. The institute specializes in the research of organic soil reconstruction, basic research in land engineering, research and development in the field of general technology, experimental testing and analysis, transformation and promotion of scientific technological research and technical services.
The Company has been awarded B-level qualification in land surveying and Intellectual Property Management System (IPMS) certification. Also, the company has been awarded the National Advanced Team of Land and Resource Management System, Provincial May Day Labor Award, Civilized Unit of Provincial State-owned Enterprise, Advanced Primary Party Organization of Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Management Commission and other awards.
At present, the institute has 115 full-time employees, 98% of whom have master’s degree or above, 86% of whom have middle or higher professional titles, and the average age is 31 years old.
The institute has two subsidiary companies:
– Shaanxi Land Engineering Quality Inspection Co. Ltd — has obtained B category qualification in land engineering, qualification of Shaanxi provincial inspection of Shaanxi province. The company is shortlisted by the National Soil Pollution Control Laboratory and the Third National Soil Census Laboratory.
– Shaanxi Land Engineering Quality Transformation Center Co. Ltd. — Class B qualification in the field of land engineering. The company is a key company for the group in implementing the decisions and agreements of the provincial party committee and Qin Chuangyuan provincial government. The company is an innovation-oriented platform innovation-oriented and offers professionals a high-quality research and development base. Among other things, the company aims to achieve achievements in scientific and technological innovation in land management in accordance with the policy of “two-chain integration”.
At present, there are five research and development sites based on the company:
— Changba soil organic reconstruction experimental area,
— The basic experimental center,
— Fuping pilot base,
— Qinling Field Monitoring Center,
— Qin Chuangyuan Land Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources,
— and five more field science observation and research stations.
The Key Laboratory for Monitoring and Protecting the Quality of Cultivated Land of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has been established on the basis of the Institute.
The institute also helps manage nine research platforms, including the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Provincial Research Center for Land Consolidation Engineering Technology, the establishment of which was supported by the group.
Since opening, the Institute has always adhered to problem-oriented scientific research with a focus on innovation, and has the country’s leading technological capabilities. The Institute’s work emphasizes the theory of organic soil reconstruction.
Since its existence, the Institute has developed a number of effective technologies, such as the key technology of soft rock and sand mixing for field reclamation, the mechanism of middle stream channel soil formation on the Loess Plateau, and the key technology of regulation and controls that enable the efficient utilization of land for urban development and construction, create significant economic and social benefits, and provide the scientific basis and important support for the technological development of the land construction industry.
To date, the institute has received 14 provincial and ministerial awards in science and technology, including 2 first prizes. The Institute has realized 4 national scientific research projects, 73 provincial and ministerial scientific research projects; 19 invention patents have been confirmed, 19 monographs have been published; 4 industrial standards have been compiled, and 9 provincial standards have been compiled and 9 provincial standards, of which 7 provincial standards have been published; Published more than 3200 articles, including more than 280 SCI/SSCI articles.
In the future, the institute plans to focus on fundamental research in the field of land management. One of the leading areas of research will be the topic of organic soil reconstruction. National strategies such as the ecological protection of the Huang He River basin, a new model of urbanization construction. such as the ecological protection of the Huang He River basin, a new model of urbanization and rural revitalization.
Efforts will be made to build an integrated and open research platform that integrates technological research and development, application of achievements, talent development, technological cooperation and exchanges, industrial incubation and other areas of work.
