Several projects have already completed construction and have been put into use. Among these projects are the Liuguangmen wastewater treatment plant project, the third phase of the Jinyang wastewater treatment plant project and the third phase of the Guiyi wastewater treatment plant project.

Meanwhile, Yunyan has released a project map platform that allows for real-time management and scheduling. The app provides specific information such as on-site construction progress and projects' investment status throughout the district to realize the timeliness and effectiveness of project scheduling.
