In the field of prefabricated construction, it was stated that “We shall strive to achieve a proportion of 30% of prefabricated construction in the new construction within about 10 years” in the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Management of Urban Planning and Construction issued by the State Council in 2016. The Group has actively responded to the call of national policy and has been committed to promoting its development in recent years. It paid high attention to the prefabricated technology in the front-end investment design field of the main business of real estate, meanwhile established a construction industrialization resource service provider that integrates design and production, Shanghai EPC Construction Technology Co., Ltd., continuously exploring multi-dimensionally and putting efforts to promote the practice and innovation of prefabricated construction.
With the four major features of “standardized design, factory-like production, information management, equipment-type construction”, the Group’s prefabricated construction brings several environmental benefits such as reducing energy consumption, water consumption and noise pollution during construction, and can effectively respond to the call for environmental protection and energy conservation advocated by the state. At the same time, it can also solve the problems of unstable quality reliability and long construction cycle, so as to improve safety and quality of the products.
In 2020, the Group’s utilization rate of prefabricated construction (prefabricated project) accounted for 66% of our new projects, which was higher than the national policy target. The Prefabricated Sandwich Thermal Insulation Shear Wall Structure System was adopted for the ongoing Pujiang Major Residential Community Expansion Project in Pujiang Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, while the outer walls, bay windows, air conditioning panels, internal and external shear walls, balconies and staircases are prefabricated in factories and assembled on site, and prefabricated composite floor slabs are adopted. The overall prefabrication rate accounts for more than 40%, which greatly improves the project quality and construction efficiency, effectively reduces the waste of construction materials, achieving a good effect of energy saving and emission reduction.
