From January to September, Hubei Province started construction of 9,313,900 square meters of prefabricated concrete structures

The industrialization of building construction makes the construction of houses less pollution, less energy consumption, and high quality. Recently, it was learned from Hubei Province's new-type building industrialization and intelligent construction site observation exchange activities that in the first nine months of this year, Hubei Province has started a total of 628 new prefabricated construction projects, covering an area of 17.3 million square meters, an increase of 115.7% year-on-year.

Prefabricated buildings refer to buildings assembled from prefabricated parts on the site. Since the beginning of this year, the prefabricated construction projects of different structural types in Hubei Province have been advancing steadily. From January to September, newly started prefabricated concrete structure buildings were 9,313,900 square meters, a year-on-year increase of 85.5%, accounting for 53.8% of newly started prefabricated buildings; prefabricated steel structure buildings were 7,0663 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 154.9%; Timber structure and other structure types were 919,900 square meters, a year-on-year increase of 302.2%.

According to reports, taking the prefabricated concrete construction project as an example, compared with traditional construction methods, it can reduce construction waste by 70%, water consumption by 25%, and save wood by 60% and cement mortar by 55% during the construction process.

It is reported that in 2017 and 2020, Wuhan, Yichang, and Jingmen were approved as national prefabricated building demonstration (example) cities. Tuanfeng Economic Development Zone in Huanggang City was approved as a national prefabricated building demonstration park, and 13 enterprises including China Construction Third Engineering Bureau and Hubei Guangsheng were approved as a national prefabricated building industrial base.
