This is how the Chinese garden settled in Angola

"In the afternoon, we need to transfer a few more earth-moving trucks to ensure the shrub planting in the teaching building!"The progress of brick-laying on the multi-** classroom trail should be accelerated. "The construction quality of the waterproof layer of the artificial lake must be guaranteed, and the rework caused by water leakage in the later stage must not be guaranteed. ”…A few days ago, in the canteen of the Dongdi Polytechnic University project in Wanbo Province, Angola, China Railway 20th Bureau, Li Guojia, the person in charge of production, was eating lunch and arranging the construction tasks for the technicians in the afternoon.

It's the rainy season in Africa, and the weather is like a child's face. In the morning, the rain was pouring down, and outdoor construction could not be carried out, so Li Guojia had to gather all the workers indoors to decorate the interior of the classroom. But it was only lunchtime, and the weather suddenly cleared, and Li Guojia began to allocate more manpower to the outdoor construction team.

It has been less than two months since the completion and delivery of Dongdi University of Technology, although the main construction progress was completed ahead of schedule, but the exterior decoration and garden engineering required a large number of open-air operations, and the construction progress was slightly delayed due to the impact of continuous heavy rain. "The more you get to the end, the more you have to tighten the strings, and you must not waste all your efforts. This is Li Guojia's determination. As a key project in Huambo Province, TDI University of Technology has attracted great attention from all walks of life in Angola during its construction, and has attracted delegations from Germany, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and other countries to visit.

The Dondi Polytechnic University project is located in the National Cultural Heritage Center of Angola in Huambo Province, with a total campus construction area of about 130,000 square meters, mainly including teaching buildings, laboratories, administrative buildings, dormitory buildings and other 10 structural single buildings, and simultaneously equipped with health science laboratory, science laboratory and other facilities. Designed and constructed entirely to Chinese standards, the university is the most modern and energy-efficient university campus in the province of Huambo, Angola. At present, the builders of China Railway 20th Bureau are in full swing to carry out the campus greening construction, which is a large number of Chinese garden styles.

Every tree, every floor tile, and every wall is the vivid practice of our Chinese architecture in Africa, and also represents the technical level of our Chinese builders. Like Li Guojia, the nearly 20 Chinese builders involved in the construction of TDI Polytechnic University are well aware of the importance of the exterior construction of the garden and structure in the final stage. These days, in order to be able to respond to emergencies on the construction site in a timely manner, everyone lives on the construction site. The rain stopped, and the personnel were organized to carry out outdoor operations;When the rain was heavy, I hurriedly moved indoors and continued to work overtime ......

When the Chinese employees worked together, more than 400 Angolan construction workers shouldered the heavy burden and took the initiative. The 27-year-old local guy Lhasalu is not only an apprentice brought out by Li Guojia, but also a "good helper" who is handy. Not long ago, the excavation of the artificial lake encountered heavy rain for many days, and half of the pond of rainwater accumulated in the foundation pit. Finally, the weather cleared, and when everyone was ready to drain the water and continue excavating, heavy rain came again. "When we were in a hurry, Lhasalou cut the plastic tarps into raincoats of the right size and began construction with the workers. Li Guojia said that during the construction of the artificial lake, although the weather was extremely bad, everyone did not flinch.

Hydropower installation, paint painting, roof waterproofing construction, ......Although each operation link is not complicated, if there is a problem, it will definitely affect the look and quality of this Chinese garden-style campus. These days, Li Guojia and several safety workers have formed a quality inspection team to conduct full inspection and irregular sampling inspection of each operation process. Even if it is an uneven place of a few millimeters at the connection of the paint spraying, they must ask for on-site rectification in time after they find it.

This is an artificial lake, this corridor needs to be paved with gray bricks, and the façade of the school building needs to be painted with a layer of white waterproof paint......Every day, Li Guojia will use a drone to look around the construction site, watch the ideas on the design drawings become a reality, and watch Chinese elements take root in the land of Africa, Li Guojia feels happy in his heart.
