(Video) Watch How China Moved 85-Year-Old School Building To Make Room For Construction

China has its own version of moving houses that have been a tradition for a long time. Different than other traditions that come from other places, they did not change the house instead they moved the tall building to a new location.

Around last week, a team of engineers in Shanghai relocated an 85-year-old local primary school building. The building, which was built in the year 1935 and weighed 7,000 tonnes, was relocated to a new location so that the old location can be used to make way for the construction of a new commercial center in the area.

Typically, a team of engineers will use a giant slide or better known as ‘flatbed’Even so, due to the different shape of the school building, they had to use a new method by making the building ‘walk’ using 200 equipment like a robot ‘foot’ installed under it. The building was then moved step by step and is said to take 18 days to get to the new location.

The school building is not the only building that engineers successfully relocated to a new location. Among other buildings that have been relocated to make way for other construction projects is a five-story office in Shandong.

In fact, the workers there are said to have continued their work as usual in the 8,000-ton building during the evacuation procedure.
