Green Construction

DIT has set up zero-emission science parks by utilizing technologies for renewable energy and the recycling and reuse of water, dust suppression cannons, and noise reduction. With a nationwide business network, DIT has been promoting the construction of science parks with such technologies across China to encourage the Chinese construction industry to convert to environmental practices.

Prefabricated construction is a new construction method promoted by the Chinese government. It is the practice of manufacturing standard components of a structure, such as walls and laminated slabs, in a professional plant and transporting these components to the construction sites, where they are then assembled using mechanized methods. Prefabricated construction employs a large amount of mechanization, flow-production, and standardized operations, which leads to more efficient construction and higher-quality buildings than the traditional construction methods.

Construction waste now makes up 30-40% of total urban waste in China, about two times that of the developed world. Dust from construction sites is also a major source of PM2.5 in China.

  • higher quality, and reduced maintenance

Compared to traditional construction methods, using the EMPC model pioneered by DIT will reduce construction waste by 90%, construction-related water usage by 80%, the materials for repeat use by 70%, and manual work by 50%. It will decrease duration of construction work by 40%, and it will significantly reduce the amount of waste and dust found on construction sites.

Case Study: Intercity Green Space

Covering a total area of 175,418 square meters, the Intercity Green Space in Changsha was constructed using the EMPC model pioneered by DIT. Its buildings are 126.3 meters high and have a prefabrication ratio of 51%, which greatly shortened the duration of construction. The project has been recognized as a Major Exemplary Project for Green Building and Industrialized Construction under the National Key R&D Plan of the 13th Five-year Plan.

Case Study: Renovation of Nine CPC Hunan Provincial Committee Buildings

With a tight schedule, a heavy workload, and strict requirements, this project was undertaken to have the nine dilapidated CPC Hunan Provincial Committee buildings revamped and transformed into the main reception area of the First China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo held on June 27, 2019. Thanks to its leading EMPC business model and the concerted efforts of all project members, DIT successfully completed the project despite enormous challenges such as 63 consecutive days of rain and suspension of the work during holidays. DIT never once requested an increase in the project budget and spared no effort to press ahead with the construction work.
