"Chinese workers build 15-story hotel in just six days"
"The work crew erected the hotel -- a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure reportedly built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake -- with all prefabricated materials. In other words, a crew of off-site factory workers built the sections, and their on-site counterparts arranged them on the foundation for the Ark project.
"Despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured -- and thanks to the prefab nature of the process, the builders wasted very few construction materials."

The building will survive a 9 on the Richter scale. They do build solidly. So solidly the buildings remain intact even if they fall over.
What amazed me is they worked around th clock without an injury!
I saw this on the news. It is amazing to watch.
Seems they have us beat on so many levels.
Just how much longer will the underpass at Hwys. 11 and 32 be closed?
kk, a friend and I were just talking about that. How long has it been? Did they work through the winter last year?
