31 apartment blocks slated for upgrades
Print Edition
THIRTY-ONE aging apartment blocks in Jing’an District will be rewired and fitted with sprinkler systems this year as part of an ongoing refurbishment program, fire-control authorities told Shanghai Daily yesterday.
The properties to be upgraded are all between 70 and 80 years old and occupied by more than 5,700 families, they said.
An eight-year program was launched in 2013 to renovate all 1.6 million square meters of government-owned residential buildings in the district. Because of their age, many of the properties have protected status and work carried out on them must comply with strict regulations.
As well as the safety upgrades, the homes will be replumbed and fitted with new kitchens and sanitaryware, the fire bureau said.
Since the start of the program, nearly 300,000 square meters of old buildings have been refurbished in Jing’an, which due to its rich history and links to Western settlers is home to many interesting properties.
Because of their age, many of the buildings have timber features, which mean they are highly combustible, the bureau said.
The installation of sprinkler systems and new wiring are key to the local government’s plan to improve the safety of local residents, it said.
