Construction Characteristics

80% of the seedlings for the Park are transported to Malabo from Spain and other cities in Equatorial Guinea by low-temperature and moisture containers taking 1~2 months. Greening personnel are organized to research the features of seedlings to ensure the survival rate, accumulating rich experience for similar projects in the future.

Main structures of all the buildings in the Park are steel structures, which significantly shortens the construction duration and ensures the safety and reliability of the building structure.

Cascade drop dam is designed for water storage with anti-seepage measures (waterproof blanket) taken. A 73m-long bridge is set in the central area. The improved water system has greater storage capacity, which improves the flood control and disaster relief abilities of the Park.
