On November 9, Changsha Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau reported that in May 2019, Wangcheng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau had doubts about the concrete construction quality of part of Building 10 of the fifth phase of Xincheng International Huadu during the on-site inspection. After several rounds of testing and appraisal by three qualified third-party units, it was confirmed that the strength of concrete members above the 12th floor of Building No.10 of this project did not meet the design requirements. In October, the contractors were required to demolish and rebuild the 12th to 27th floors of Building No.10, and its concrete supplier Hunan Tuoyu Concrete Co., Ltd. has been completely shut down.


The circular also said: After verification, the company’s concrete was used in 59 projects in the same period in the city. Of the 22 projects that have been tested, the concrete strength of 20 projects meets the design requirements, and it has been confirmed that the concrete strength of 2 projects does not meet the design requirements, and the remaining 37 projects are undergoing on-site testing.

The tests seen by the reporter show that the strength indexes of the concrete members of the main structure on the 12th to 27th floors of Building No.10 in the fifth phase of Xincheng International Huadu are all lower than the design strength C35, and the lowest value is 17.6. It is understood that the design floor of Building No.10 of the project has 34 floors, each floor covers an area of about 400 square meters, and has been built to the 27th floor.
