Hefei Prefabricated Slab Housing
The following is information about prefabricated slab housing in Hefei:
Design Lifespan and Residential Situation: Prefabricated slab houses in Hefei are assembled using reinforced concrete prefabricated components. With thick walls, they typically have a design lifespan of around 50 years and are suitable for permanent residential use. However, if the house has been in use for more than 30 years, it is recommended to conduct professional inspections to assess its structural safety and the feasibility of continued residence. This measure aims to ensure the safety of residents' lives and property and avoid potential risks caused by house aging.
Seismic Safety and Renovation Planning: Regarding the seismic safety concerns of residents, taking the prefabricated slab commercial housing along Baogong Road Market as an example, after on-site inspections by technical workers in the construction field, no abnormalities were found in the interior walls, indicating that the current structural condition is good. Currently, there are no relevant renovation plans for this area. However, if all residents in this area have the willingness to rebuild on the original site, they can organize themselves and submit an application to the housing and construction department in accordance with relevant documents. This policy provides residents with flexible options, ensuring the safe use of existing houses while respecting their renovation needs.
Policy Governance and Renovation: According to the "15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal" issued by the State Council in May 2026, cities including Hefei will renovate more than 500,000 housing units (rooms), including prefabricated slab houses, with a focus on eliminating safety hazards in D-grade dangerous housing that has been documented. The demolition of prefabricated slab houses follows the principle of "classified handling" and avoids a one-size-fits-all approach. Specifically, priority is given to demolishing D-grade dangerous houses identified by professional institutions, prefabricated slab houses located in earthquake-prone areas and high-risk geological hazard zones, and prefabricated slab buildings that are over 40 years old and lack value for repair and reinforcement. This policy aims to advance urban renewal in a scientific and reasonable manner, ensuring that the renovation work is both effective and sustainable.
