Maintenance, the No.1 problem facing China
Maintenance is a highly sensitive issue in China, where the life expectancy for today's buildings is estimated at between 25 and 30 years. The media and the social networks are now pinpointing situations that are occasionally disastrous and largely due to lack of maintenance: work site accidents, fires, escalator and elevator breakdowns, etc. Since 2009, Siveco, No.1 French SME agency working in maintenance consultancy in China, is a partner to UTSeuS. Siveco also participates in the Building Life Management project for Complex-city, coordinated by Yann MOULIER-BOUTANG.
