Construction work on the temporary hospital was undertaken by
The new cross-border project management model adopted by the constructor and authorities enabled the facility to be completed efficiently and in strict compliance with
It is the first infectious-disease center in the world that has built negative-pressure isolation beds by using modular integrated construction technology, in which free-standing integrated modules are prefabricated in a factory before being transported to construction sites for installation.
Equipped with 816 isolation beds and hospital-grade isolation facilities, the center provides intravenous medication and oxygen therapy, which can help alleviate the demand for isolation beds in public hospitals, Zhang said.
The construction, which normally would expect to take three to four years, was shortened to 120 days with workers working 24 hours a day and didn't stop even for typhoons or thunderstorms, Zhang said.
The hospital was officially handed over to

The cumulative number of workers on-site exceeded 240,000, and the number of workers was more than 4,000 a day at the peak of the construction.
The mainland factories also mobilized national resources to ensure the smooth construction of the project, and the number of factory workers during the peak period exceeded 2,500, Zhang said.

He turned down help offered by his colleagues and said that now that he had a chance to contribute something to his country, he would do his utmost when his country needed him.
The COVID-19 community treatment facility at AsiaWorld-Expo, which provides 952 hospital beds, including 160 negative-pressure isolation beds, is the nation's first high-standard smart negative pressure mobile cabin hospital, Zhang said, adding that its construction also ran 24 hours a day.
'It is so exciting to see that these new technologies can lead to such great outcomes,' she said, adding that the successful application of these technologies has reinforced her faith in the development of the nation's construction industry.
Zang Xingyu, 25, another doctorate student in building environment and energy engineering, said he is more confident about
