They also made full preparations for this bidding and deserved to win the bid. He expressed his hope that both IHEP and YREC would work together to bring about high-quality and timely completion of  this project . Ren Xu first thanked IHEP for their trust, saying that the construction management model of EPC gives the contractor more enthusiasm and initiative; they have ability and confidence to achieve this project. Moreover, years of tacit cooperation between the design institute and construction unit, combined with the strong support of local government, will be the key to the ultimate success of this project.
