China Architectural Engineering has been awarded a contract to build the external facade for the China Water Conservancy Museum in Hangzhou, China.
The project is expected to commence at the end of December 2007 with an expected duration of approximately 12 months. The company noted that the total value of the two contracts announced this week by the company is expected to exceed US$8 million.
Ken Yi Luo, China Architectural Engineering's Chairman and CEO, commented, "As an important representation of China's ancient architecture, the 'Xiaoshan International Water City' has finished construction in Hangzhou, China, and we are proud to announce that our company has been awarded the contract to install the external facade of the China Water Conservancy Museum."
The museum is to be constructed on the shore of the famous Qiantang River, in the form of the traditional Chinese tower, with the main tower to be 3,937 feet high. The tower base is to be composed of a combination of modernistic glass curtain walls and granite curtain walls, which combines traditional Chinese architecture with modern style to create yet another landmark for the City of Hangzhou.
