The highest steel structure modular building in China in Laishan, Yantai, has reached its topping-out stage

On the morning of December 15, as a 7.8-meter-long steel beam was slowly raised, precisely positioned, and successfully hoisted into place, the steel structure of Building A of the Yantai Laishan Coastal Health Station project, constructed by China State Construction International Group, was fully completed, marking a milestone in the project’s development. The Yantai Laishan Coastal Health Station project is located to the east of Guanhai Road and to the south of Jinqiao Road in Laishan District. With a building height of 78 meters and a total construction area of 117,000 square meters, it consists of two main buildings, A and B, along with a 4-story podium area. It is currently the tallest steel-frame MiC project in China. Once completed, it will become Shandong Province’s first large-scale permanent isolation facility that combines pandemic prevention functions with regular healthcare services. The reporter learned that the total amount of steel used in the project is over 12,000 tons; more than 10,000 tons of the steel structures have already been installed, representing a completion rate of around 85%. Work is currently in progress to install the remaining steel structures in an orderly manner, with the goal of completing the installation of all steel structures by December 31.
The Yantai Laishan Coastal Health Station project adopted an innovative construction technique that combines a steel structure framework with MiC modules, enabling modular building solutions to be applied in buildings of low, medium, and high heights. It represents a new milestone in the development of MiC technology in China. It is reported that the lifting of the steel structure MiC modules for this project takes place mainly on floors 5 to 20 of Building A. Using 320-ton crawler cranes and a new modular building grouting connection technology, the MiC modules are fitted more precisely into the steel structure joints, thereby ensuring the accuracy of their positioning during lifting.
What is MiC? MiC refers to the process of breaking down an entire building into modular \"units\"; more than 90% of the work related to the decoration, plumbing, and mechanical systems in each space unit is completed in a factory, essentially \"building houses in the same way as cars are built\". Then each unit is transported to the construction site and assembled like building blocks, thereby completing the construction of the entire project.

Chemical processing units can also be done this way, using jacks
MiC is a serialized standard module that can be designed using a single set of drawings and manufactured through an industrial production line. Chemical engineering modules are generally not easy to produce; they require individual design and individual manufacturing.
