New composite planks for flood-prone areas
Ha Noi, Feb. 3 (VNA) -- Scientists from the Ho Chi Minh City Materials Sub-institute of the National Natural Science and Technology Centre have successfully produced composite planks from waste materials.
These planks will be used to build houses in flood-prone areas, especially the Mekong delta because of their durability in water.
Production of one sq.m. of composite plank is estimated to cost between VND 30,000-35,000.
A plan for mass production of the planks has been approved.--
