First-stage Waterproofing Project in 2nd District of Woldo Tideland Finished
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The North Phyongan Provincial Tideland Reclamation General Enterprise has completed the first-stage waterproofing project in the 2nd District of Woldo Tideland on May 31, thereby providing a guarantee of securing over 1,800 hectares of new land.

The enterprise has simultaneously pushed forward the Woldo Tideland reclamation and the final project of second-stage reclamation of Honggondo Tideland since June last year.

There were dozens of successful consecutive blasting of earth like those of 250,000 cubic meters, 200,000 cubic meters and 150,000 cubic meters of earth.

After securing millions of cubic meters of stone and earth, builders transported 10,000 cubic meters of stone and earth with the largest amount being over 12,000 cubic meters to build a 30~40 m sea dyke on a daily average.

Also introduced were advanced methods for raising the ground level corresponding to changes in seawater level.

The enterprise is now pushing ahead with reinforcing sea dyke in the 2nd District of Woldo Tideland and the project for building an emptying gate.
