shanghai pudong xinghewan community photographed by reporter liu songhui

typhoon "bebejia" made landfall in shanghai. a large part of the wall of a high-rise residential building was blown off and fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang and the residents' screams of shock... on september 16, a video of the typhoon attracted the attention of netizens across the country.

in the video, two men dodged the debris of the exterior wall falling from the sky. less than 5 meters in front of them, the rubble was scattered on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

according to a reporter from the daily economic news, this scene took place in the songwenyuan community in the zhaoxiang section of qingpu district, shanghai. according to a person from the property management company of the community, "the two men in the video are our staff. the wall is currently under repair, and the road in the community has been cleared and traffic has resumed. no one was injured."

"bebejia" is the strongest typhoon to hit shanghai in the past 75 years. although shanghai had prepared risk warnings the day before, its great power still posed a great challenge to some high-rise residential areas and skyscrapers.

the exterior walls of some high-rise residential areas were blown off

"there is only one building in the community with broken walls. today we have urgently set up a fence downstairs and it is temporarily a one-way street," said a property staff member of qingpu songwenyuan community on the morning of september 17. the cause of the broken wall is still under investigation.

public information shows that songwenyuan is a resettlement community built in 2014, with a total of 20 buildings, 1,131 houses and a total of 2,877 residents. the property company is shanghai shanhuxiu property management co., ltd., a subsidiary of shanghai qingpu new town development (group) co., ltd., which moved into the community in 2018.

according to the qingpu fire department, on september 16, the typhoon's extreme weather had varying degrees of impact on outdoor buildings. trees fell on the road, causing traffic disruptions and bus disruptions. firefighters immediately rushed to the scene for emergency rescue operations.

after the danger occurred, the property service staff of the community also shared the rescue mission. according to wang xiaokun, the head of the shanghai-suzhou regional team of xincheng yue service, his "team" serves 7 communities in jiading district. during the time when typhoon "bebejia" landed in shanghai, a total of 143 property service staff in the 7 communities were on duty 24 hours a day to handle emergencies. "if they were hungry, they would eat instant noodles and snacks."

the most serious situation in the community is the fallen trees. wang xiaokun said that in a community, a large ginkgo tree was uprooted in the typhoon, blocking the passage in the middle. the property service staff could only saw down the tree in the wind and rain, clean up the branches, and ensure the internal roads were unobstructed.

on the afternoon of september 17, a reporter from the china business network saw at the pudong xinghewan on jinxiu road that many roadside trees in the community were blown down and fell at the gate, with branches and leaves scattered everywhere. workers drove construction vehicles back and forth to clean up. on the west exterior wall of building 26 in phase iii, a piece of wall covering about 10 square meters fell off, revealing the cement wall. isolation piles and cordons were placed on the roadside downstairs.

pudong star river was built between 2009 and 2020 and is a high-quality residential community in the area. lianjia transaction records show that the average transaction price of the community in june exceeded 140,000 yuan per square meter, and the total transaction price of a 189-square-meter apartment was 27.66 million yuan.

according to on-site staff, the outer wall fell off before the typhoon landed in shanghai, and reinforcement work was done during that period.

luxurious hotel repair floor-to-ceiling glass

in addition to high-rise residential buildings, glass curtain walls of high-end hotels in shanghai were also damaged.

according to a live video on social media, a huge floor-to-ceiling glass was blown down by the typhoon next to a sofa seat in a hotel lobby, and a woman hurriedly hid with her child on her back. strong winds poured into the hotel lobby, blowing the notes on the table everywhere.

during the interview, the reporter from china business news learned that the video content took place at the langham hotel, xintiandi in huangpu district. the hotel rooms range from 1,200 yuan to 1,700 yuan per night, and the most expensive executive suite is 6,510 yuan per night. it is a well-known luxury hotel.

according to a staff member of the hotel, the damage to the glass curtain wall occurred in the buffet restaurant in the lobby on the first floor. the restaurant has been temporarily closed and emergency repairs are being carried out inside.

"there is a reason why this typhoon is called the 'housing inspector'." yan yuejin, deputy director of the shanghai e-house real estate research institute, said that the typhoon seemed to have an external impact on houses, but in fact different communities performed differently under the typhoon. some communities had wall peeling and leaks, and some communities had door frames blown away, all of which reflected the poor quality of the houses and exposed the weaker links of the houses.

yan yuejin believes that after this typhoon, developers or operating units should steadily promote quality production and at the same time form long-term measures to prevent typhoons to minimize losses.

extreme weather is also a test for community property service companies. yan yuejin said that high-quality property companies will have a positive impact on the operation of the community. however, insurance compensation arrangements should be strengthened during emergency rescue and work should be done well in mobilizing maintenance funds.
