BEIJING, June 21 (Xinhua) — The grandiose Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Conference and Exhibition Complex project in the east China coastal city of Qingdao has recently passed the acceptance test for construction and installation work.
As a key component of the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone in Qingdao, the SCO Conference and Exhibition Complex with a 50-meter-high main building began construction in September 2021. Its total construction area is 237,000 square meters.
According to the Qingdao Daily newspaper, a total of 17,000 tons of steel materials were used to build the complex, with the steel truss used in the structure having a maximum weight of 65 tons and a maximum span of 54 meters, which is equal to the total length of two standard basketball courts. Advanced automatic software control technologies, including welding robots, were used in the processing of steel components. At present, 8 new applied technologies and 5 inventions have been patented for the project, the publication says.
The construction of this complex is considered an important step in strengthening the platform construction for the development of international cooperation in the above-mentioned demonstration zone in Qingdao, allowing for the promotion of trade and economic ties with the SCO countries as well as the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. After commissioning, it will be used to host SCO summits, international conferences and trade and investment fairs, and also function as a business center and be rented out as office space. -0-
