CCCC issues ESG Report, top CSR Projects under BRI recognized

  • 10th Anniversary Event for Joint Construction of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) held in Beijing

The 10th Anniversary Event of China Communications Construction Company’s (CCCC) Joint Construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was hosted in Beijing on December 15th.

The event, themed “In the Prosperous Silk Road’s Glow, Together We Construct a Brighter Tomorrow,” announced and commended CCCC’s top 10 projects under the BRI, including the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway Project, the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge Project, the KKH Phase-II (Havelian-Thakot) Project, among others.

Pakistani Ambassador to China Khalil Hashimi presented awards for these projects. He called the KKH Phase-II (Havelian-Thakot) Project a lifeline of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, saying it reflects the wisdom of the Chinese side in multiple aspects.

The project marked in-depth cooperation between Pakistan and the CCCC, and also between Pakistan and China, Hashimi noted, adding that he looks forward to more outcomes of cooperation between the two countries.

The event also unveiled CCCC’s top 10 outstanding Chinese and international employees, who have been deeply involved in the infrastructure development of relevant countries and made important contributions to local socioeconomic development and people’s livelihood.

South Sudanese Ambassador to China, Monday Semaya Kenneth Kumba noted that as an internationally leading infrastructure construction company, CCCC boasts the most outstanding construction teams in the world.

The ambassador extended his gratitude to CCCC for its dedication and efforts in South Sudan, saying he looks forward to closer cooperation between more excellent teams from CCCC and his country, and more practical results in transportation infrastructure and developing local talents in South Sudan.

Over the past decade, CCCC has actively responded to the BRI, leveraged its full-industry-chain advantages, and upheld the ESG philosophy. It has launched the “Build Your Future Dream” social responsibility brand worldwide to fulfill its economic, environmental, and social responsibilities.

During the event, CCCC released its ESG Report for the BRI and its top 10 cases of CSR and brand building for the BRI.

The BRI has brought positive impacts to Sri Lanka in terms of foreign trade, tourism, and ecological conservation, said K. K. Yoganaadan, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Sri Lankan Embassy in China.

The Colombo Port City, in particular, has achieved remarkable accomplishments in environmental protection, which has safeguarded and enhanced the ecological environment and marine biodiversity in surrounding waters, Yoganaadan added.

HostDime’s Next-Gen, Tier IV Data Centers Support AI Workloads With Up to 100kW Per Rack

HostDime‘s Tier IV Data Centers, including their new flagship facility in Orlando, are setting industry design standards that will power the new era of infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) technologies, and other high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. These next-gen data centers boast an astonishing power density of up to 100kW per rack, a significant leap from the traditional 3kW to 20kW in legacy data centers.

AI has transcended its status as a buzzword and has quickly become a transformative force across industries. For AI to achieve its potential, it requires massive computational power. Complex neural networks and deep learning algorithms require specialized high-performance hardware, including CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, optimized for parallel processing, complex modeling, and accelerated training. Suddenly the industry as a whole is rethinking how data centers are designed. A new generation of purpose-built data centers is the only way to power this new wave of hardware infrastructure.

Addressing this need head-on, ahead of the market, is HostDime’s hyper-edge, Tier IV data center design, which is being deployed at the global edge with immediate deployments in Latin America (most recently in Colombia) and at their flagship facility in Florida. HostDime’s leap to up to 100kW signifies a remarkable advancement that directly addresses the energy demands of AI/ML/HPC workloads. This state-of-the-art Orlando data center brings to market much-needed high-power-density inventory while reducing dependency on data center infrastructures in traditional major metro markets that are struggling to keep up with demand. This infrastructure demand is also being seen at the global edge where HostDime will continue to deploy its next-gen, Tier IV design.

HostDime’s modular design incorporates a high watt-per-square-foot density along with supplemental in-row cooling capabilities that work in parallel with direct-to-chip cooling technologies. The design also incorporates precise cooling-efficient cold aisle containment at every data hall. HostDime’s flagship Orlando data center also has designated data halls created specifically for immersive cooling hardware. Immersive cooling is widely becoming a necessity in the new wave of data center build-outs. All these features are at the forefront of HostDime’s data center design.

HostDime’s commitment to building the next generation of purpose-built data centers is embodied by their standard Tier IV design – the pinnacle of reliability. This designation signifies fault tolerance and redundancy at every level, allowing HostDime to offer 100% uptime SLAs. Such data center infrastructure is imperative for supporting critical AI workloads that require uninterrupted availability to perform mission-critical tasks.

As AI continues to reshape businesses as we know it, the role of data centers cannot be overstated. The new Central Florida data center, which will be commissioned in Q1 2024, is poised to meet the skyrocketing demands of the AI revolution. The future is AI-powered, and HostDime’s global edge data centers are the gateway to that future.

About HostDime:
HostDime is a hyper-edge global data center company operating our owned, purpose-built data center facilities in MexicoBrazilColombia, and our flagship facility in Florida, USA, and with owned networks in the UKIndia, and Hong Kong. Our mission is to design, build, and operate purpose-built, next-gen data center facilities at the global edge.

Officials from multiple countries applaud infrastructure projects built by China Communications Construction Company

Major infrastructure projects undertaken by China Communications Construction Company Limited(CCCC) have received widespread praise from global officials in charge of transportation at two side events of the recently concluded 2023 Global Sustainable Transport Forum (GSTF).

The 2023 GSTF and the 15th International Exhibition on Transport Technology and Equipment, hosted by China’s Ministry of Transport, were held from Sept. 25 to 26 in Beijing. CCCC has actively participated in the forum and organized the forum’s two side events themed “effectively advancing high-quality international infrastructure connectivity for coordinated regional economic development” and “smart, green and sustainable transportation infrastructure”, respectively.

During riveting discussions on the sustainable development of global transportation at the side events, ministers of transport and experts in transportation from many countries lauded landmark infrastructure projects built by CCCC, such as the Mombasa – Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) in Kenya, the Colombo Port City of Sri Lanka, and the China-Laos Railway.

“I was there at the inauguration ceremony,” said Kipchumba Murkomen, the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Roads, Transport and Public Works, pointing to a photo showing the inauguration ceremony of the Mombasa – Nairobi SGR with excitement.

“Companies like CCCC have done a fantastic job in our country in modernizing our railway system. Now we have an SGR system of almost 600 kilometers, and we believe that system will be further extended,” said Murkomen.

He also pointed out that CCCC has made great efforts to ensure ecological conservation during the construction of the railway. By transforming some technologies and building wildlife crossings, among many other measures, CCCC has managed to minimize the environmental impact of the project, according to Murkomen.

Calling the China-Laos Railway one of the models of green transportation system, Ngampasong Muongmany, the Lao Minister of Public Works and Transport, underscored the importance of realizing “green, low-carbon and sustainable transportation”, and noted that various countries should work together to achieve the goal.

Participants in the events also recognized the rich fruits of international cooperation in the transportation sector under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative over the past 10 years and shared their views on green development in the future.

“Because Sri Lanka highly values international exchanges in transportation construction, the Belt and Road Initiative is very important for us,” said Bandula Gunawardhana, Sri Lanka’s Minister of Transport, Highways, and Mass Media.

“It (the Belt and Road Initiative) is an excellent initiative, as all initiatives that are promoting connectivity in transport, just to connect better the world,” said Francisco Esteban Lefler, President of the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC).

China Communications Construction Company strives to become model contributor to global sustainable transportation

China Communications Construction Company Limited(CCCC), has benefited people all over the world with transportation infrastructure projects oriented to sustainable development, CCCC officials said at a recent forum.

The forum, namely 2023 Global Sustainable Transport Forum, was held from Sept. 25 to 26 in Beijing. CCCC was deeply involved in the forum, and organized two side events of the forum.

Many senior executives of CCCC attended the forum and side events, and shared information about the group’s achievements in pursuing sustainable transportation at a press conference held by CCCC on Sept. 26.

CCCC has expanded its business into five continents and undertaken major projects in 157 countries and regions, including the Mombasa – Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway in Kenya, Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge in south China, and Sri Lanka’s Colombo Port City, strongly boosting economic growth and social prosperity, Wang Tongzhou, Chairman of CCCC, said in his keynote speech delivered at the forum.

Committed to “making the world more smooth, making the city more livable, making the life more colorful” CCCC focuses efforts on infrastructure connectivity, common development, innovation-driven development, and eco-friendly construction, and looks forward to enhancing cooperation for shared benefits with all parties, Wang noted.

CCCC has actively adapted to the trend toward green economy for years, according to Pei Minshan, Vice General Manager of CCCC. Attaching great importance to China’s carbon peak and neutrality goals, CCCC has accelerated the building of a clean and low-carbon infrastructure system, and pursued energy conservation, pollution control, consumption reduction, and carbon reduction throughout production, operation and management, striving to lay a solid foundation for sustainable transportation, Pei said at the press conference.

Innovation is a crucial driving force for the sustainable development of the transportation sector, pointed out Liu Boying, Deputy Chief Engineer of CCCC, at the press conference. CCCC has unswervingly marched along the path of high-quality development driven by innovation, and steadily enhanced independent innovation capacity, Liu said.

Tang Qiaoliang, General Manager of CCCC’s Overseas Business Department, shared at the press conference that CCCC has invested in and built over 3,000 high-standard infrastructure projects worth over $140 billion in Belt and Road countries and regions, including over 13,000 kilometers of highways, 3,000 kilometers of railways, over 200 bridges, 150 key ports, 31 newly built or renovated airports, and over 1,000 container bridge cranes.

CCCC considers people-to-people connectivity the most profound and long-lasting mode of connectivity, said Tian Jufang, General Manager of CCCC’s Corporate Culture Department. While improving infrastructure, CCCC has carried out assistance activities globally to help improve people’s sense of gain and happiness worldwide, Tian added.

SKYX Files for a Mandatory Safety Standardization with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for Its Outlet Receptacle for Ceilings in Homes and Buildings

  •  As Part of Its Application the Company Has Provided Significant Data Related to Hazardous Incidents with Electrical Wire Installations. SKYX’s Ceiling Outlet Receptacle Platform Enables a Safer, Fast, and Robust Plug and Play Installation of Light Fixtures, Ceiling Fans and Smart Home Products to Ceilings
  • The Last Significant NEC Mandatory Standardization Approval for Homes and Buildings Was for the GFCI (GFI) Electrical Wall Safety Outlet for Bathrooms and Kitchens

SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ:SKYX) (d/b/a Sky Technologies), a highly disruptive smart platform technology company with 72 issued and pending patents in the U.S and globally and over 60 websites for lighting and home decor with a mission to make homes and buildings become safe and smart as the new standard, announced today that it has filed an application for a mandatory safety standardization with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for its ceiling outlet receptacle platform for homes and buildings.

In a market of hundreds of millions of installations, a mandatory standardization of SKYX’s ceiling outlet platform, should it occur, would enable a robust, safer plug and play ceiling installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans without a need to touch electrical hazardous wires and would significantly reduce fires, ladder falls, electrocutions, injuries, and deaths due to hazardous electrical wire installations.

SKYX’s code team is led by Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA). As part of the mandatory application, SKYX’s code team has submitted significant supporting data regarding hazardous incidents that occur due to electrical wire installations. The data includes fires, ladder falls, electrocutions, injuries, and deaths caused due to hazardous wire installations.

After years of rigorous standardization progress, SKYX’s management and code team strongly believe that it has met the necessary safety conditions and has significant hazardous data support for a compelling case for its ceiling outlet receptacle to become a mandatory safety standardization for ceilings in homes and buildings.

In the past several years the Company’s product was already voted into 10 segments in the NEC and since 2022 it has succeeded in achieving major additional necessary milestones for mandatory standardization, including voting approvals by U.S. standardization organizations ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturing Association), as well as a vote approval by the NEC for the generic name WSCR (Weight Support Ceiling Receptacle) for its ceiling outlet receptacle.

The last significant NEC mandatory standardization approval for homes and buildings was for the GFCI (GFI) electrical wall safety outlet for Bathrooms and Kitchens to reduce and prevent electrocutions.

The Company’s application included data regarding hazardous incidents from U.S. governmental agencies such as the U.S. Census Bureau, NFPA, OSHA, NIOSH, CPSC, and CDC.

An NFPA Report No. USS117 published in February 2022, “Home Fires Caused by Electrical Distribution and Lighting Equipment” provides evidence that not enough emphasis is placed on incorrect installation of lighting. The report noted that fires involving electrical distribution and lighting equipment caused an estimated average of 430 deaths per year in 2015-2019. Specifically, wiring, and related equipment accounted for 68% of these fires, 60% of the property damage and 42% of the civilian deaths and 53% of injuries.

SKYX’s lead code team member Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and former Chief Electrical Engineer of NFPA, said: “I truly believe that we have made a compelling case for a mandatory requirement for plug-and-play installations using the safe and robust weight supporting ceiling receptacle. We have gathered a significant amount of data on incidents involving lighting fixtures and ceiling fans using the existing wiring methods. This data includes a substantial number of hazardous incidents that include deaths and or injuries from fires related to wiring, falls from ladders, fixtures or fans that fell on individuals, including young children among other incidents. Many of these accidents could have been prevented using this safe and robust plug-and-play installation method. It is about time that the existing wiring installation method be replaced by a safe, robust method that reflects today’s advanced but litigious world”.

SKYX’s lead code team member Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA), said: “I am highly confident that our application to the NEC has all the necessary safety data aspects and information to support our case for a mandatory safety standardization approval. As part of our application, we intend to share our product for all manufacturers to benefit. As a world leading country, it is about time that we make our consumers, electricians, handymen, and business owners safer and more advanced by moving away from the old hazardous wiring installation method to a safer, and fast plug and play installation method.”
