DPRK Expanding the Territory of the Country
Tideland Reclamation Complex of North Phyongan Province is pushing ahead with the second-stage project of reclaiming the Honggondo tideland.

Following the completion of the first-stage reclamation project, the officials and workers at the complex got down to the second-stage project, full of enthusiasm to create a new standard and miracle as well as break records in their work.

The current project is a grandiose nature remaking one to secure more than 5 500 hectares of new land by building nearly 20-km-long embankments across the sea linking Taesamgot, Jop, Jari, Jagungaryang, Kungaryang and Sinmi islets.

The complex set a goal of accomplishing this gigantic project within the period of five-year strategy for national economic development, and a target of finishing within six months the first stage damming project of District No. 3, the task that would require about a year to accomplish. Several thousand metres of road were built in District Nos. 1 and 2 on Sinmi Islet in such a short time of 20 days, and the preparations for the second-stage reclamation was completed. The project commenced with the blasting of 70 000 cubic metres of earth.

Branch construction and mechanized companies raised a strong wind of collective innovation and emulation campaign while launching a mass technical innovation drive, so as to introduce effective technical and construction methods and accelerate the speed of work by 2.5 times.

As a result, they conducted the pilot tunnelling of 2 700 metres in over a hundred days and transported 900 000 cubic metres of rubble stones and earth to build dykes about 5 800 metres long, linking three islets. It capped the primary dyke construction in District No. 3.

Thanks to the patriotic endeavours of the builders of tideland reclamation, over 900 hectares of new land was secured in a short period, changing the shape of the country’s coastline.
