As the novel coronavirus epidemic is basically contained in China, infrastructure construction across China has seen accelerated resumption. With anti-epidemic measures in place, the engineering teams of Shanghai Baoye Group Co. Ltd. have continued to work on the residential building sites in Daxing District, southwest Beijing, to relocate residents from regions affected by noise from the Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA).
Initiated in 2019, the housing project with a total construction area of over 80,000 square meters is planned to be completed in 2021 to improve the living environment for the local residents. According to the company, around 1,000 households will move to the relocation site when it is built. Before the launch of the project, new housing projects for relocating people originally living on the BDIA site were started in 2015 and completed in 2018. In September last year, more than 20,000 villagers in Daxing District moved into new houses with environment friendly facilities such as storage tanks for collecting rainwater on roofs.
