china real estate news reporter chen biaozhi丨haikou report

on the morning of september 7, a media reporter sought confirmation from the project construction unit and the construction party regarding the rumor circulating online that "hainan's 'tallest building' - hainan center was destroyed in the typhoon." the relevant parties of the hainan center project responded immediately, saying: "everything is fine!"

the reporter learned that a video about hainan center, hainan's "tallest building", was circulated online. the video said, "it is 6 o'clock in the morning on september 6. is there really no problem with this tower crane? i feel it can't withstand a force 17 wind." then, a netizen posted a picture of hainan center and replied, "no more." the short video attracted many netizens' "onlookers". by the time the reporter asked the hainan center project party for confirmation, there were more than 1,000 comments.

in response to the content of the video, the hainan center project party responded immediately that the hainan center had a head-on encounter with the super typhoon "makar", and everything was fine. the tower crane and glass curtain wall withstood the test of a category 17 typhoon.

according to the response from the hainan center project, on september 6, super typhoon "makar" directly encountered hainan center, the "tallest building" under construction in hainan. this is undoubtedly the most severe test for the project's safety precautions, construction quality and emergency response capabilities. the hainan center project invested and constructed by hainan airport under hainan holdings actively responded to the instructions of hainan provincial party committee and government, hainan holdings, hainan airport and china construction third engineering bureau on typhoon and flood prevention, and actively responded to the direct impact of typhoon "makar".

the above response stated that on september 3, the hainan center project launched the emergency plan ahead of schedule, and immediately organized all participating units to hold a typhoon prevention and resistance launch meeting, established a typhoon prevention and resistance party member assault team and emergency team composed of 19 party members, stopped all construction work, and all participating units carried out a joint special inspection for typhoon prevention and flood control, and conducted a comprehensive investigation of risk source areas such as tower cranes, jacking platforms, external frame steel structure hoisting, glass curtain walls, and basements.

after on-site assessment by experts from the project contractor china construction third engineering bureau, two of the tower crane's arms were removed, leaving one for self-rotation; temporary facilities in the office and living areas were reinforced one by one, eight water pumps were installed in the basement in advance, core data was transferred to a safe area, the safety of the 668 evacuated construction workers was verified one by one, and various preparations such as material reserves were made, with all efforts made to prepare for the typhoon.

on september 7, after the typhoon, the hainan center project quickly investigated and sorted out the damage caused by the typhoon "makar". after preliminary investigation, the project did not cause any casualties in this typhoon, major facilities and equipment were intact, the top membrane platform, glass curtain wall and other overall structures were stable and intact, and the facade of the west annex building was intact. although the temporary facilities in the office area and living area were damaged to varying degrees, the overall situation was good and successfully withstood the severe test of the unprecedented 17-level typhoon "makar".

in response, the hainan center project faced this extreme weather, and the project's typhoon prevention and mitigation measures were effective, proving the high standards of the hainan center project's construction quality, exquisite construction technology, and mature construction technology. these advantages not only provide a strong guarantee for the smooth construction of the project, but also provide valuable experience and reference for similar super-high-rise projects to deal with super typhoons.
