A delegation of young architects from the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of Uzbekistan is undergoing an internship in China, where they are studying modern building materials and technologies. One of the first facilities visited was the Sichuan Wangang Metal Product plant. Chinese specialists demonstrated prefabricated metal formwork systems to their Uzbek colleagues and explained their design and application possibilities in building construction.

Such systems make it possible to speed up construction work, reduce costs, and improve the quality of structures, including in accordance with seismic safety requirements. Thanks to assembly from small elements, it is possible to create complex architectural shapes and erect high-rise buildings. Additional savings are ensured by the reusable nature of the formwork. The delegation was also shown the full cycle of work: structure installation, concrete pouring, dismantling after curing, and electric welding.

In addition, a training program was launched for the Uzbek specialists at Sichuan College of Architectural Technology. It includes theoretical sessions and practical training in urban planning digitalization, energy efficiency, energy conservation, preservation of green spaces, and urban environmental sustainability. The acquired knowledge is planned to be used in the development of housing construction and social infrastructure in Uzbekistan.
