Pyongyang, June 30 (KCNA) -- One year has passed since the start of the construction of the Taean Friendship Glass Factory on July 1 last year, which is now under way amid the deep concern of the parties, governments and peoples of the DPRK and China. In the period, the builders moved 1.5 million cubic meters of earth to lay out more than 200,000 square meters of building lot and pushed forward at the same time the project of the groundwork of the objects as a whole such as the main production buildings and auxiliary systems.
They have finished earlier than schedule the building of the frame of the chimney of the waste heat boiler and built a gigantic sand-unloading wharf on the Taedong riverside.
Soldier builders worked a miracle by winding up in a matter of two months the laying of the bed of the railroad branching into the factory, which had been said to be hardly completed in ten months.
The Chinese technicians have paid deep care to see that the construction of all the objects was carried out as required by the designs without the deviation of 1 mm.
Through cooperation between the builders of the two countries and their energetic work, the construction of the factory buildings is past the 90 percent mark with dozens of projected buildings completed by and large. Now the assembling of facilities is progressing in full force.
Partial trial operations are going on in some objects coupled with brisk land rezoning. Thus the overall construction of the factory has gone beyond the 85 percent mark. Meanwhile, the reconstruction and expansion of the units in charge of the supply of raw materials to the factory have been completed and commissioned.
