Abstract:From June, 1997 to June, 1998,in a bid 10 successfully execute the 560 Million-Dollar-priced Contract co-signed by the Federal Ministry of Transport of Nigeria and CCECC Group for rehabiltating he 3 288 km-long Nigerian Rail way-track, the Ministry of Railways made full use of Chinese Rail- way Group’s advantages.strictly followed the international practice to undertake engineering projects, and organized the forces from eight Engineering Construction Bureaus and Construction Units under the authority of Railway Bureaus to participate in the Mass Campaign to re-construct Nigerian Rail?way Line. As for this whole engineering project ,no matter tracing project information,signing the con?tract agreement or controlling internal sub-contractcd constructions. it has been observing internation?al standards to the greatest extent, therefore gaining a better reputation in the World.
The author joined such Mass Construction Campaign and worked as a managing director. He wrote this thesis to analyze the characteristics of the contracting and management of international projects, summarize the successful experience from the execution of Nigerian Railway Project and other engi?neering work abroad completed by domestic corporations. This thesis also fully and accurately discuss?es and proves the areas available for future contraction by our railway engineering enterprises;main construction projects worthy of tendering;the way to uncoil main channels and collect information;as well as the guiding principle for overseas project contracting, operation policies and management on site ?etc. The aim is to enable more construction enterprises inside our railway system to grasp main points,avoid detours,and share more portions of the world construction market when going outside to exploit overseas markets.
