Qinghai Concrete Prefabricated Houses
Concrete prefabricated houses in Qinghai play a significant role in ecological protection, cultural and tourism experiences, and industrial upgrading, offering numerous advantages.
Ecological Protection
As the water level of Qinghai Lake rises, some herders and farmers in certain areas urgently need relocation and resettlement. Traditional cast-in-place construction in the high-altitude lake region faces issues of long construction periods and significant disturbances, making it nearly impossible to implement. In contrast, prefabricated cement houses using a "unified planning and construction" model shorten the construction period and minimize ecological disturbances. For example, villagers in Xunhua Salar Autonomous County, Haidong City, have converted their old livestock sheds into prefabricated new sheds, which are not only warm in winter and cool in summer but also labor-saving, becoming a local promotional model. In 2024, Qinghai took the lead nationwide in launching a pilot program for subsidies on the purchase of agricultural machinery for complete sets of prefabricated livestock shed equipment. Modular sheds are gradually transforming traditional livestock farming methods on the plateau and reducing damage to the ecological environment.
Cultural and Tourism Experiences
In the heart of the Qilian Mountains, concrete prefabricated houses such as prefabricated starry sky houses, log cabins, and space capsules are transforming accommodation experiences for tourism on the plateau. These buildings gently touch the earth and are quickly erected, allowing tourists to "sleep under the stars and beside the forest sea" without causing long-term burdens on the fragile ecology. They meet tourists' demands for high-quality accommodation while adhering to ecological protection requirements, promoting the sustainable development of Qinghai's tourism industry.
Industrial Upgrading
Leading local enterprises in Qinghai have established the province's first full-industry-chain prefabricated construction base, with new prefabricated construction projects exceeding one million square meters across the province, fostering national and provincial industrial bases. The government explicitly requires the priority use of prefabricated houses in resettlement projects, earthquake resistance renovations, and construction around the lake, marking the transition of prefabricated houses in Qinghai from "pilot projects" to a "system". Additionally, some enterprises in Qinghai, such as Qinghai Guide Shengqianjia Cement Workshop, offer integrated services for the production, sales, installation, maintenance, and decoration of prefabricated cement houses. The prefabricated cement houses they produce boast extremely high strength and stability, capable of withstanding earthquakes below magnitude 8, and offer advantages such as time and labor savings, cost-effectiveness, versatility for commercial, residential, and office use, and durability.
