In the new city in the center of Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, the three most eye-catching buildings are the headquarters of the Aloka Bank, the Assaka Bank and the Industrial Construction Bank, which were built by the Shanghai Construction Engineering Group of China. Two of the three bank buildings have already been completed and the other will be completed in March this year, and will become a new landmark in Tashkent. This is the first project undertaken by Shanghai Construction Engineering in Uzbekistan, and it is also the first batch of super high-rise buildings built in Uzbekistan in the past 10 years.
The selection of Shanghai Construction Engineering to undertake the construction of these three landmark buildings fully reflects the recognition and trust of Uzbek owners in Chinese enterprises. Pang Shengjian, general manager of the Shanghai Construction Engineering Representative Office in Uzbekistan, said that the three buildings are 159 meters high, 142 meters and 135 meters high, with a total construction area of about 220,000 square meters.
According to reports, due to the location in the most active belt and the lack of super high-rise construction technology, Uzbekistan has long banned the construction of super high-rise buildings in Tashkent. The country's domestic construction industry also lacks the capacity to build supertall buildings and the corresponding building materials. "The three office buildings we built had a seismic rating of 9. "In order to increase the seismic resistance of the building, Shanghai Construction Engineering gave full play to its technical advantages and took a series of measures, including installing seismic dampers at the structural joints and adding additional steel structures to the concrete structure to enhance the strength of the building." Our seismic design has not only been reported many times by the local government, but also unanimously recognized by the people of Uzbekistan and the people. ”
During the construction process, we adopted Chinese standards, Chinese technology and Chinese equipment. In order to solve the problem of special concrete required for building construction, Shanghai Construction Engineering and local concrete manufacturers conducted joint experiments, combining Chinese technology with local technology, and specially developed concrete that meets the requirements. Pang Shengjian said that the application of Chinese standards and Chinese technology has stimulated the development of the construction industry in Uzbekistan to a certain extent. "During the construction process, the project has also created thousands of jobs for the local area and helped to cultivate local engineering construction management talents. ”
Ibaddov Kaharamon, an employee of the project's mechanical and electrical department, joined the construction team at the start of the project. In the past four years, he has been running between the construction site and the owner, and he is particularly emotional when he sees three high-rise buildings rising from the ground. "The efficiency and professionalism of Chinese companies is admirable, and even during the pandemic, Chinese companies have been able to move forward with quality and quantity. "There has never been a building this tall in our country, and I am very proud to be part of the project." We look forward to bringing more opportunities to the development of our country with Tashkent New City. ”
