"We need to mobilize a few more dirt trucks this afternoon to make sure the shrubs are planted in the school building!" "The brick paving progress of the multimedia classroom walkway should be accelerated a bit." "The construction quality of the waterproof layer of the artificial lake must be guaranteed, don't cause rework due to water leakage at a later stage." ...... A few days ago, in the cafeteria of China Railway Bureau 20's Dongdi Polytechnic University project in Angola's Huambo province, Li Guojia, head of production, ate lunch while arranging the construction tasks for the technicians in the afternoon.


Now it is the rainy season in Africa, and the weather is like a child's face, changing at the drop of a hat. In the morning, the rain poured down and the outdoor construction could not be carried out, so Li Guojia had to concentrate all the workers indoors to carry out the interior decoration of the classroom. However, when the weather suddenly cleared up at lunchtime, Li Guojia began to allocate additional manpower to the outdoor construction team.


It has been less than two months since the completion and delivery of Dongdi University of Science and Technology. Although the progress of the main construction has been completed ahead of schedule, the exterior and gardening works require a lot of open-air work, and the construction progress is lagging behind due to the impact of the persistent rainstorms. "The more to the end of the tighter the string, must not get the previous work." This is Li Guojia's determination. As a key project in Huambo province, the Dundee University of Technology has received a great deal of attention from all sectors of the Angolan community during its construction and has attracted visiting groups from Germany, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa, among other countries.

Located in the center of Angola's national cultural heritage in Huambo province, the campus has a total construction area of about 13,000 square meters, including 10 structural monolithic buildings such as teaching buildings, laboratories, administrative buildings, dormitories and other facilities such as health science laboratories and science laboratories. Designed and constructed entirely using Chinese standards, the university is the most modern and energy-efficient and environmentally friendly university campus in Angola's Huambo province. The greening of the campus, which is currently being carried out by China Railway Bureau 20 builders, incorporates a large number of Chinese gardening styles.


"Every tree, every floor tile and every wall is a vivid practice of our Chinese-style construction on the African soil, and represents the technical level of our Chinese builders." Like Li Guojia, nearly 20 Chinese builders involved in the construction of Dongdi Polytechnic University are well aware of the importance of the closing stage of the construction of the gardens and the exterior of the structures. These days, everyone lives at the construction site in order to be able to respond to emergencies at the construction site in a timely manner. When it stops raining, they organize the personnel to carry out outdoor work; when it rains heavily, they rush to move indoors and continue to work overtime ......


In the Chinese staff to work together, more than 400 Angolan construction workers are as brave as the burden, take the initiative to act. 27-year-old local boy Lazaru is not only Li Guojia hand in hand to bring out the apprentice, but also his handy "good helper". Not long ago, the artificial lake excavation encountered continuous rainstorms for many days, the pit accumulated half a pool of rainwater. Hardly the weather cleared up, we are ready to drain continue to excavate, heavy rain once again came. "In our anxious fire, Lazarus cut the plastic tarpaulin into the right size raincoat, and took the workers and began construction." Li Guojia said that during the construction of the artificial lake, although the weather was extremely bad, but everyone did not let it deter them.


Water and electricity installation, paint painting, roof waterproofing construction ...... each link of the operation is not complicated, but once the problem occurs, it will certainly affect the perception and quality of this Chinese garden style campus. These days, Li Guojia and several Anjian workers team leader formed a quality inspection group, each operation process for the whole inspection and occasional sampling. Even a few millimeters of unevenness in a paint spraying joint, they found in time to require on-site rectification.


"Here is an artificial lake, this corridor to lay cinderblock, the facade of the teaching building and then brush a layer of white waterproof coating ...... "Every day when the hand, Li Guojia will use the drone to see another round of the site, looking at the design drawings on the idea of becoming a reality, looking at the One by one, Chinese elements take root in the African land, Li Guojia feel happy in his heart.
