CNOOC turns waste into wealth
China National Offshore Oil Corp, China's largest offshore oil and gas producer, is participating in the Sept 3 parade which marks the 70th anniversary of the country's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression by putting its self-developed asphalt products on the main roads of the event in Beijing.
After being used twice in 2009 and 2014 for Chang'an Avenue rebuilding projects, it is the third time that the high-quality asphalt is being used for a national event. About 15,000 metric tons of asphalt was used this time for the parade.
"The Beijing municipal government held several meetings to discuss urban roads maintenance projects this year. The authorities had strict requirements on the asphalt that was to be used, including good resistance to water damage and low temperature resistance cracking.
