China to build world’s tallest building
Beijing: Chinese authorities on Saturday said that the construction of world’s tallest building in central China will go ahead only after ensuring all safety procedures.
Earlier, reports had said the plans to build the structure had been cancelled as a new ban on construction of all government buildings for the next five years came into effect following the economic slowdown.
“Nine domestic construction experts have carried out a series of examinations on the project, including its structure and quake resistance,” it added.
According to the project’s builder, Broad Sustainable Building Technology Co. Ltd, the massive structure will take just seven months to complete. The building, which is made of steel, will be able to accommodate 30,000 people with school, hotel, hospital, apartment and office facilities and an 8,000-square-meter garden.
