Big efforts are being made to raise the industrial and modern levels of the construction in the third-stage construction project for 10 000 flats in Pyongyang’s Hwasong area.
Pyongyang University of Architecture has helped enhance the durability of the buildings by introducing an earthquake-resistant prefabricated method to the construction. It is working on a research project at the final stage to apply the same method to the construction of skyscrapers.
It has also developed a new welding method with the help of concerned units, and improved working efficiency through intensified technical guidance at the construction site.
The Huichon Building-materials Test Station under the Jagang Provincial Building-materials Management Bureau for Regional Construction has developed a new anti-whitening plastering method based on coloured mortar. The sci-tech hit has proved effective in practice.
The Architectural Materials Institute of the State Academy of Sciences and the Tideland Institute of the Tideland Reclamation Bureau have channelled efforts into developing new technologies to improve the productivity of lagging materials, and recycled waste materials by applying a new production method of filling materials.
The Botanical Institute, the Building Engineering Institute and other institutes of the State Academy of Sciences have provided solutions to the issues arising in afforestation, roof greening and environmental protection.
The mass-based technical innovation drive is gaining momentum among construction units at all levels.
