Xinjiang promotes new building materials in rural areas

On March 29th, at the Horashan Village clinic in seven star towns in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous County, the villager Ma Jun said: “Building a house with such materials is not only time-saving and labor-saving, but it’s really good. I’ll also build a house later. Use this new material."

Ma Jun’s new material is actually an EPS wall material module that can be used to build houses, heat-expand foamed polystyrene beads, and heat through special equipment and molds. Can be plugged into a variety of walls.

According to Hao Hongrui, general manager of Korla Haogong Building Materials Co., Ltd., which is responsible for providing this new type of wall material, this material is used in combination with reinforced concrete to replace traditional materials such as bricks and clods. Taking a 150-square-meter house as an example, the material cost can be reduced by about 15%; the construction time can be saved by at least half; the labor cost can be saved by more than 60%; and the built house can be warm in winter and cool in summer, and the heat insulation and heat insulation can reach 3 °C-5 °C. It is understood that the company is currently the first building materials company in Xinjiang to master the EPS module wall construction technology.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the Autonomous Region said that at present, the Autonomous Region is developing rural green houses in rural areas. This EPS wall material module is a goal of the beautiful rural construction in our district, combined with the construction project for the well-being and enrichment, and scientific guidance. The use of more heat-insulating and energy-saving building materials in rural houses promotes a new type of building materials. At present, this kind of EPS module has been listed as one of the key promotion and application products of new building materials.

It is understood that, recently, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region issued the "EPS module concrete shear wall structural engineering technical specification" notice, this procedure was formally implemented on April 1, 2014. This is the first technical specification for construction projects developed in Xinjiang. The new material standards used are also the first implementation promotion.
