Nanchang Repairs Prefabricated Panels of Houses

Nanchang has launched a pilot roof renovation project to address the issue of damaged prefabricated panels in old urban area houses, with residents not bearing any costs. The renovation covers multiple aspects and adopts a 'one-building, one-policy' approach.

I. Scope and Background of the Renovation
Nanchang is conducting a pilot roof renovation project in five areas across four districts—Donghu, Xihu, Qingshanhu, and Qingyunpu—involving 417 old buildings constructed in the 20th century. These buildings commonly use prefabricated cement panels for thermal insulation and waterproofing. Due to long-term disrepair, the roof prefabricated panels are severely damaged, resulting in a near-total loss of thermal insulation and waterproofing functions, affecting residents' lives.

II. Renovation Content and Methods
The renovation focuses on core issues such as roof leakage and loss of thermal insulation function, adopting a 'one-building, one-policy' model to develop personalized plans based on the building's age, property rights, roof area, structural safety, and degree of damage. Specific contents include:

1. Environmental Cleanup: Remove illegal structures on the roof, clear garbage, debris, and unused items, standardize the placement of air conditioning outdoor units, pipelines, and plants, eliminate safety hazards, and enhance aesthetics.
2. Repair and Maintenance: Repair or replace damaged old thermal insulation panels and waterproof layers to restore basic roof functions.
3. Renovation and Upgrades: Carry out roof greening, beautification, and other renovations based on actual conditions to improve the living environment.

III. Cost Sharing and Schedule
The renovation costs for residential buildings within the pilot areas are fully covered by the municipal and district governments, with residents not required to pay for roof cleanup or renovation. The renovation work is progressing in an orderly manner and is planned to be fully completed by the end of November.

IV. Policy Significance
This pilot project systematically addresses the issue of damaged prefabricated panels in old buildings through government-led and precise policy implementation, ensuring residents' living safety, enhancing urban environmental quality, and providing replicable experience for subsequent large-scale renovations.
