10 days... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world...rus10-days-of-hospital-building-in-60-seconds takes 3 yrs here. At least.
Three years? It takes three years to decide if they want to build (think HS2 Heathrow hospitals, trans Pennine rail Stonehenge by pass) two years more for planning, then a year of protests, followed by a change of government who cancels it!
Liverpool Royal Hospital. Nine Years for a facelift! A major redevelopment of the hospital began in 2013 and was scheduled for completion in 2017, but construction problems and the 2018 collapse of main contractor Carillion have pushed the estimated completion date back to 2022.
Yeah but were talking the chinese here...QA isnt their bag as it were...theyll have to build another one next door to house the injured when that one falls down.... I always remember showing this to a few people and when it happens faces screw up and people suck in a large amount of air etc etc....showed it to my old man, bless'im (passed away 6 years ago) - a planning inspector for 40 years.....he paused, stoney faced and then said "and thats son, why you have planning and building reg's..."
If I were in Wuhan with Coronavirus, unable to breathe, I'd be fine with taking a chance on the new hospital! That Israeli hotel collapse was crazy...
The thing (ive not seen personally yet) although it might have been reported is.....once youve got it...whats the normal length of time your ill for - ie if its no longer than a month (im talking averages here) - then you could say your through the worst of it... If it makes it here and i was instructed to stay indoors for 2 weeks or whatever - bliss...bring it on...i can work remotely from home!
Yeah but, it’s like a military field hospital, level the ground, put pre-fabricated units on it, hence so quick. It’s not designed to last. Travelodge build hotels in the same way.
There is nothing like starting a pandemic by eating bat soup, to focus a communist regime with unlimited labour and the eyes of the world on them. Very impressive.
The Chinese are very good at completing large building and infrastructure projects in short order, not just domestically but also overseas. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/china-watch/business/belt-road-projects-list/
McDonald's building division are experts... they do stuff for the US Military. First spade to first burger in six weeks, 3mm perfect end to end building.
I worked on the New British Library construction site in 92/93. It started in the mid to late seventies and was still unfinished by the turn of the century. It was patently obvious to me what was wrong with the taxpayer funded building industry but also obvious that this level of ineptitude/corruption was par for the course. All of the shelving systems I was working on had been installed before and deliberately scuttled by the company installing them so they could do round two on it. It was a 125m£ project that had ballooned beyond 450m£ when I was there. The construction supervisor I was under would not let us use string lines as he knew nothing about construction and just stated that it was not accurate enough. Which meant that we had to have an employed surveyor with a theodolite to set up an entire row of track supports. End result was that we only worked productively at about 10% or less. I could not stand it in the end and left.
Thats alright, we should be able to piss that now we are rid of all of the EU red tape , I can hear all of those old irish navvies and their wheel barrows trundling back towards us as I type , lol Puddy
