30- STOREY BUILDING BUILT IN 15 DAYS IN CHINA
The very thought that a 30-story building could be built in 15 days is truely beyond our imagination. But it happened in China, as a 30-storey hotel was built in just 15 days.
This plan was undertaken by Broad Group and the building was built in the Hunan Province of China, near Dongting lake. This Chinese construction company specializes in sustainable architecture, and prefabricated modules placed on steel structures.
The Broad Sustainable Building’s foundation was laid ahead of time, while building itself was largely factory manufactured. Once the pieces were shipped to the site, all that was left was for construction workers to put it all together in record time.
According to the Broad Sustainable Building’s website, the building was 93 percent factory made, a process which they say eliminates risks associated with design and construction quality, budget and construction delays, ABC News reports.
Critics, however, questioned the safety the building, pointing to the lack of oversight and the pace at which it went up. The Broad Sustainable Building has attempted projects like this before, building a 15-story hotel in just a week as well as a six-story pavilion in less than a day.
Reports suggest the 30-story hotel built in 15 days is sturdy enough to stand up to a magnitude-9.0 earthquake. The hotel is also reportedly energy-efficient and more solid all the way around than one might surmise. But the most interesting fact of all remains: It is a 30-story building that was built in 15 days.
