The development of urbanization has led to an increase in the number and scale of construction projects and the types of building construction engineering are getting advance and diverse due to the rapid development of technology. One of them is the static pressure prestressed pipe pile which is the most common used technology in modern building construction work.  It is mainly used for pile foundation in construction work and it has the advantages in less pollution, low noise and high efficiency compared to the traditional pile foundation. Study on the characteristics of static pressure prestressed pipe pile must be carried out and strengthened the research in order to increase the effectiveness and quality of static pressure prestressed pipe pile on construction works. This paper is mainly to analyzed the characteristic and construction technology of static pressure prestressed pipe piles on building construction work.

Whether to bid on construction work is a traditional question that is often challenged in different economic situations. What will the decision factors be when contractors have to struggle to achieve growth in economic downturns? Since previous studies have not widely agreed with each other on this issue, this study aims to examine China’s construction engineering contractors in recent “bad” years. The research findings reveal that the cluster related to expected profitability, including terms of payment, reputation of the client regarding his/her commitment to making timely payments, original price estimated by the client, profit track record for similar projects, and contract type, were the most significant determinants. The bid/no-bid decision-making process comprises three modules, including the contractor’s strategies, the contractor’s competency for a project, and expected competition. These results suggest that competing for survival is the dominant position of contractors in making bid/no-bid decisions in economic downturns.
