An ICA China led project to significantly improve the wiring safety in traditional villages has been green lighted by the government.
ICA China and the Guizhou Housing & Urban Rural Development Bureau have agreed on a Traditional Village Electrical Safety Demo (TVESD), with officials accepting the proposed copper intensive home-wiring model for each of the 9 regions in the province.
Around 1000 tons of copper will be used if ICA’s wiring solution is adopted by most of the villages in this province. The Bureau is considering establishing a rural building electricity standard to improve the fire protection performance and raising the level of electrical shock protection for rural families.
Siemens, Legrand and Tian Hong Cable are sponsoring the Guizhou Demo, while peak industry bodies like China Building Electricity Society and Beijing Electrical Installation Commission will provide technical expertise on installation and design.
ICA China leads this collaborative project by leveraging its KOL group, the Electrical Engineers Organization or EEO. The Demo being planned in Guizhou has been consolidated into the Traditional Village Protection Project in China and will cover more than 5,000 villages across the country.
