Foundation work is over 70 percent finished. Construction materials that meet required standards are being procured from the People’s Republic of China as needed. Seventeen truckloads of steel structures for the main boiler have already arrived at the border. According to the schedule, construction is to be completed by August next year, with trial operations set to begin in September. The contractor has been instructed to complete the boiler and external structures before the beginning of winter. The chimney will stand 86 meters tall, and assembly has currently reached 65 meters.
