The status of occupation of GRC product workers in China

The status of occupation of GRC product workers in China

For a long time, the GRC profession in the Mainland of China has always been in a comparatively forced position. Many manufacturers strive to produce cheap and standardized components, such as traditional railings and cylinders, gongs, and other products, and then export to Western shopping malls. There are even corresponding production counseling manuals published for planners and construction professionals on the market. No one doubts the sincerity and diligence of these companies. However, this situation cannot expand the foundation of the GRC profession, let alone make it a mature profession.

So, in order to broaden the potential of GRC's shopping malls and to contribute to the development of China's interior, what changes are needed? Where are GRC's potential malls?

Anyone who has visited the hinterland of China or has visited any city in the world will notice that the mode of development of the city is very different. For example, the similarities between the cities of the Mainland and the United Kingdom are clearly far beyond their differences.

Each city has different areas - old districts and industrial and commercial areas. There are many old buildings in the old districts, some of which have important cultural values, and others are general residences. The buildings in the area are either preserved or removed to allow new developments. Most of the commercial and industrial areas are built around the perimeter of old districts. The densely built commercial and commercial buildings and houses are the characteristics of this district. The district is generally full of public residences and public facilities such as parks; in the case of most cities, the parks are only later. Built.

The improvement of transportation facilities and the rise of land costs have further extended the city's development to the suburbs. Until eventually, people stopped this blind expansion in order to preserve the oasis and space. So, people renew, renovate, or re-enable pre-city construction. There are plenty of opportunities for GRC products in different cities.

Let us talk about the development of the old urban areas. Many old constructions have now become disrepairable and have become guidelines for removal. However, these old buildings, whether they are themselves, are still part of the region and often have important civilized or pre-history values because they represent the local past and past history.

If the resolution fixes these old constructions, we must face the next step. Should the construction be maintained as it is? Is it still gradually corrected or rebuilt? Revisions or reconstructions often require much replacement of the now-deteriorating components of the building, which is a difficult and costly operation, but it provides the opportunity for GRC products.

     In general, the information used in these old constructions cannot be found in the mall. The quarry may no longer be stone-recoverable, the wood species are now extinct, and stone carvings may be damaged due to weather and corrosion. But fortunately, GRC's original data resources are rich and can vividly model these data.

Let us imagine an ancient construction. Its roof is decorated with elegant stone spires, and these spires are seriously damaged by years of corrosion. As long as the pre-history drawings and old photos let us know roughly what it was originally like. We can ask the mason to copy the original spire, but this is a costly and time-consuming choice; perhaps, we can use the GRC. We can use the mold to pour out the spires, and how much we can pour. After all, GRC products are exactly the same as the original stone carvings, and this production method is both economical and time-saving.

      In the suburbs, new constructions such as commercial centers, high-tech industrial parks, many residences, university campuses and hospitals will be built one after another. These projects are where large GRC manufacturers come in.

As a modern curtain wall material, GRC products can be used as a good substitute for aluminum curtain walls. Because it is not only diverse in color, it has rich lines, it is fire-resistant, and it is even more environmentally friendly. One of the earlier projects was the third phase of the city center in Hong Kong. This project will use the polished GRC to construct the outer curtain wall of the tower and form the wall surface. In addition to being used as a general curtain wall, GRC can also be used as a façade. Prefabricated windows, shade canopies, etc. can be prefabricated on the external walls, and a variety of symbols, decorations, lighting equipment and other devices can also be added through the use of fixed anchors on the external walls.

In large private residential projects, GRC's various shapes, colors, and textures can be used to prevent appearance of the same and then hide the same building structure. For these projects, the same construction structure is necessary for cost control. The appearance of different dwellings increases the attractiveness of buyers and increases the selling price. The use of GRC also ensures that the house can be sold twice at high prices.

With regard to the construction of public housing, the diversity of the GRC has also contributed to the disconnection of the stigma that appears to be the same for such housing estates.

With the application of GRC, the architects have more choices outside the limits of budget, construction standards and imagination. They can use various materials in the construction plan. Unfortunately, they are often unfamiliar or not aware of GRC. So, how should we let them know that GRC has such information and its characteristics?

China's GRC Association and GRC manufacturers must work together to increase customer awareness of GRC and more actively promote the implementation of GRC. The British GRC Association will be invited to provide training for the architects. These trainings are recognized by the Royal Institute of Architects and can be used as qualifications for professional continuous education. This concept is very good, but it is more compelling than proactive, because it is not an educational widening activity.

The fire resistance of GRC also works well with these corrections. It can be used to copy wooden structures and then reduce the chance of fire or fire spreading. The weight of GRC is relatively light, which is particularly favorable for the revision of ancient construction. It is often found that the corrosion of years and months has made the structure of ancient construction very weak. It is impossible to correct the stone walls on these structures without serious construction. The GRC can use the mold to cast the components that match the original stone, and then put it into the ancient construction. This process will not increase the extra load and affect the stability of the original structure.

These old rectification projects in various parts of the country are of certain attractiveness to small-scale GRC manufacturers. The development of urban industrial areas provides more business opportunities for large GRC manufacturers. The industrial zone is characterized by industrial production, while the housing environment is very crowded. The solution is to remove and reconstruct the buildings here, perhaps by changing the usefulness of these buildings to meet the new requirements. The issue of reconstruction will be commented on later. Now the point is to change the question of its usefulness.

In the city, the industrial district in Dashan is changing into a lively new community. These areas have become a new kind of living phenomenon - the use of industrial premises for housing purposes. These industrial constructions can be retrofitted with lightweight materials that are both quick and inexpensive. GRC this chameleon can show its skill in this process.

The

My domestic rapid development, GRC career must catch up. The shortest way to regain lost ground is for GRC companies and their representatives to establish a useful and transparent communication channel with the architects and planning agencies. This is the most useful way to understand the planning industry's professional requirements for GRC.

All walks of life are improving and developing in order to satisfy the needs of customers, and the GRC profession is not an exception. As long as the architects are fully aware of the characteristics of the GRC and how they can integrate GRC into their plans, they will be the best GRC product advocates.
