30 floors in 15 days? Only in China
The company Broad Group has built a 30-story hotel and 17 000 square
meters in 360 hours. The secret is the 24 hour working day and the use
of materials and prefabricated modules. The hotel was built in Hunan
province, China, last December. According to the Chinese Academy of
Building Research, which tested the safety of the hotel, the Hotel Ark
has been tested to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 9 on the Richter
scale, thanks to the diagonal, low weight and steel construction. In
early 2011 the same company constructed a building of 15 floors in less
than a week and at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the Broad pavilion was built
in just 24 hours.
