Впечатляет конечно....но вот сколько времени они потратили на подготовку: 100% готовность по материалам, четкая работа диспетчерского состава, натренированные монтажники. Пол года наверное только теорию качали и практиковались на мелочах.
I started commuting from the train station in Somerville, NJ in 10/2009. Workers had already started demolishing the train platform at that time. I don't take the train any more. But recently when I passed by, the platform rebuilding project was still going on. More than a year for a new platform, and still counting. Very impressive...
Well, not to say it wasn't fast, but all the prefab parts didn't grow on trees. There must be hundreds of individual beams and profiles and manufacturing all of them must have taken at least several months (or a huge number of workers). Assembly is just the last part of the process.
That part doesn't matter. What matters is the construction part of it imo. The materials are likely already sitting somwhere, whether they decide to make this building or not. I'm not an expert in construction, but I assume this helps to finish a project quicker and to reduce risk and costs of a long term drawn out project. If your project is 3 years long, you don't know what might happen during that time and things could go to custard for various reasons. No one can predict the future. If they decide to abandon this project before construction, I'm sure the pre fabricated materials could be easily used for a different project instead of having to commit so fully to it. And since it only takes 2 days to assemble, I'm sure things wouldn't change so much in that time. And also it's just more efficient to make something quicker. Saves on labor and less inconvenience to everyone in the general area, instead of having to walk past a construction site every day for hte next 3 years.
I don't know what to say after seeing this amazing video. What can one say. China is not just amazing, they're far beyond amazing. No country can even dream of competing or being comparable to China.
Keep in mind that they seem to have most of the parts ready.. It seems to be some kind of finished building set, all they are doing is putting it together. From what i´ve heard, these buildings are actually quite robust and are very stable against earth quakes.
@batukhan If you watch the video closely, it took roughly 2 days to build the infrastructure (up to the when the top roof was settled), but then it took roughly 4 more days to decorate and touch-up. So both 2 days and 6 days are correct depending on how you define "finish building".
The thing is-is this building high on structural safety? From what I've observed, it's like building a house of cards. If experts calls it safe, then China really deserves praise for this kind of achievement.
Awesome work! I think some people may need help reading this video. Note there are two stopwatches shown in the video, updated every minute of the actual constuction time. The builders worked on shift. If construction paused for logistic reasons, the stopwatch would pause. The main structure was completed in 46.5 hours, the exterior work took 90 hours. The total net construction time is thus 137 hours. It's not a concrete building that you have to wait it solidify. Good job China Yuanda!
In Ireland, specifically Galway, it took them nearly 4 years to complete the renovations on our central area, Eyre Square, and they went a few million overbudget too. Those Chinese - a great bunch of lads.
@outslider1 The building was *erected* in six days. The time for constructing the materials is never counted in the full construction time. Otherwise nearly everything would take years to build, since some basic components can stay in storage for ages before they are ordered for a new project.
took them a week to finish the building, while the building can last forever even against earthquakes. In foreign countries, took years to finish the building, collapsed during an earthquake
Tod Wilkinson WTF. I'm American. I just think most high-rises from the 60s-80s are boring boxes, except for a few exceptions like the Sears Tower and the LA US Bank Tower. The ones from the Art Deco period, as well as ones built in the 90s and after, are better. It's just my opinion. Chill.
Tod Wilkinson Oh yeah, I know that building (just not by name, until now) and it's nice. I never said EVERY 60s-80s skyscraper was bad, just that the overall trend was more towards buildings like, say the XYZ buildings in New York.
As Chinese myself who grew up in China and then came to Canada to continue study, I'd say I saw a completely different city every time I came back once a year while Montreal like stayed the same forever since the first day I came.... I didn't think about going back many years but now mind's changed lol
Don't forget the inside work or even before start the construction. Probably it took more time to finish the work inside the building. But it was a great job and because of that I send my congratulations.
I am not sure how long does it take to build the foundation in Hu Nan province. As far as I know, Hu Nan is definitely not a earthquake place. But generally speaking, it does take a pretty long time to build the foundation if there is any concerns about the earthquake. However I have to mention that the structure of the building in south china is very different from that in the northern part of China. Mainly due to the weather concern.
@zyhyvesdk i noticed that too. i think it's 2 days (46H to be exact - the video even paused there) to make the 15 story structure/skeleton, but to complete the architectural finishing (exterior cladding, interior walls, windows, etc), it took more than 2 days as you pointed out.
for thos people saying this building looks ugly, yes, design wasn't their goal, it uses less concrete, less steel, and is designed to withstand 9.0 magnitude temblor. THAT is their goal.
in china, it gets dark fairly late but light really early. this was 6 days though, not 2. at the end, the 2nd part of the time lapse went a lot faster, but it doesn't mean it's fake.
@zyhyvesdk You know, maybe building meant only the first part, when the hotel was not completed, but you could already see what it'll look like. And it lasted 46h. Less than 2 days. The full completion of the building lasted 6 days actually.
That's impressive. I mean, it's prefabricated and you still need to add furniture, but it took them something around 8 months to put up a building a third that size in my college.
If you travel to China, when you book a hotel, there is no place, and the recipt tells you that it doesn't matter, they will build a new hotel right away, so you don't have to doubt, it can be done.
Now THAT is the way to build rectilinear structures! Question: any examples of the same process being implemented with buildings that are not squares/rectangles?
Take a look at the pickle building in London. Frank Gehry's work at the guggenheim in Los Angeles and in Bilboa, Aldar HQ building in Abu Dhabi, the Torch in Doha...
Everybody this is not a traditional building built with cement, so it's not like 'they built something in 2 days so it's bad quality', it's a new technology with new materials and new structure of construction which allow them to assemble every storay in factories and just pile them up in place. It's way more resistant than traditional cement buildings that China has.
Responses to common criticisms: 1. Storeys is British 2. 47 hours is less than 48 hours (framework of building only.) 3. Between 12:00 and 12:30 the first day (when some annotations appear) a floor appears! - uhhhhhh look at the pretty annotations you didn't see anything.
@JAKEsSHOWandTELLS Go take a look at this technology, it's not lego man, they are using new materials that actually allow them to build storeys in factory and reassemble the building in place. the structure is actually more resistant than traditional one with cement.
That's sweet,.. the company (Broad) is quite a big company,It is one of the leading ones in the area, others like Sany.. blah blah. They r really expanding over these years, and im pround of them. In terms of the video, not just workers, but also all the engineers behind this.
Even though it is a great achievement, and no one can take that out of the context, the fact this building was prefabricated outside the construction site explains part of the record construction time. You can do this for buildings, but for bridges, dams or airports? No chance... for now!
@BrooklynRider @Grvthang I think NYT (or some such pub) referenced this building in an article awhile back as a model that no one actually lives in. Interesting to see whether Ratner is able to pull the trigger...
Yes, that's true, that the building was build in a few days, but it's also an half-true. Remember, that all these prefabricates had had to be made before. So an whole construction process takes more time.
@raahulworld for the struckture it was less then 2 days so you can say that the building was done in 2 days like the title says. but yes its a bit missleading
Most construction sites build floor by floor and also have at MAX 2 cranes.. here we see they build it "frame by frame" methodically and they use 6 cranes. Also they work day and night and they have tracks coming hourly.. [Time to build something] = [Size of construct]/([Workers] x [Available materials])
One question I have: The clock for the first day starts in daylight, then 24hrs later it's dark. It does not become light again till 28:40 (and gets dark at 20:37). So perhaps this is not all that it seems?
In northern china, construction needs to consider the factor of snow and cold winter. So it always takes less time to "build" a building in southern China.
The video is clearly manipulated several times with sudden jumps visible, but the clock ticking like normal - why? I still think this is an awesome job at building stuff so fast, but at least be honest.
@dark7element lol 20000 people, i recommend you go visit the great wall if you haven't done so yet, it's an exercise to just walk on it, it will put things into perspective for you. It won't take more than 300 people for this hotel.
Although I'm not a fan of cubic space structures this is nevertheless impressive. Well done those people involved. Nice specifications too! I would like to know how many man-hours it took to assemble and how many man-hours to prepare the prefab parts. It might have been more impressive if it were a hospital rather than a hotel though. A hospital is generally the first thing to go in an earthquake it seems. All in all, impressive work. Well done!
I hope the next door neighbor went out of town for exactly two days then came back to find a highrise out of nowhere.

Prefabricated building parts have existed for a while so definitely not impossible. Just doesn't fit the code for most other countries probably.

這很棒的說,因為這個建築的部件都是事先在工廠裡製作好的
在運到現場組裝,像是積木一樣又是說模組化建築
需要龐大的大型機具,所以一般小型建築公司的話應該沒辦法吧?
但是我希望這種技術能夠再度變更棒,應該還有進步的空間的
希望未來的建築不需要人力也能建築,像是將所有的房子所該具備的地基
預先就打好,一整片那樣子...然後具備能與建築合體的功能,就是能分開和組裝
但不用再度作地基那樣子,只要像是拼積木哪樣插上去就行了
模組化加上電腦控制,那些地基也可以插上其他建築,直接轉換成其他東西
能這樣子就最好了,希望中國人能將這個方法實現,我是台灣人
I am so envious...
