To further advance CTC's international development and enhance cooperation and exchanges with outstanding international enterprises and institutions, Qin Xianming, Deputy General Manager of CTC, was recently invited to Melbourne, Australia, to conduct on-site investigation and exchanges on issues related to the feasibility of developing CTC's inspection and certification business locally.

On December 3, at the invitation of RMIT University, Qin Xianming and the delegation visited RMIT and held in-depth exchanges with Mike Xie, Academician of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and RMIT Laureate Professor, and the RMIT Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials on issues related to the establishment of a testing institution and areas of bilateral cooperation.

RMIT is the first of the five universities of technology in the Australian Technology Network of Universities, and its Architecture and Built Environment discipline ranks 26th in the world. As an internationally renowned expert in the field of structural optimization and one of the founders of the evolutionary structural optimization method, Professor Mike Xie stated that CTC possesses strong technical capabilities and market experience in the field of building and building materials testing, that the two sides have full prospects for cooperation, and that the industry-university-research cooperation path from design to construction to structural testing and verification has strong market and R&D potential.

Qin Xianming introduced the development of CTC's various businesses and elaborated on CTC's internationalization strategy and medium- and long-term development ideas. Qin Xianming pointed out that technology and innovation capability are the foundation of the third-party service industry, and that RMIT's achievements in the field of innovative structures are impressive. CTC is willing to carry out all-round cooperation with RMIT, driving testing technology innovation from new design ideas, while using advanced testing technology to safeguard new architectural designs.

On December 4, Qin Xianming and the delegation visited the Australian exterior wall materials manufacturer All State and communicated in detail with the person in charge of the enterprise on the current status of the building materials industry in Melbourne. The Melbourne construction market is large, with dense high-rise buildings, and is currently in a period of concentrated implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects. Local building materials enterprises are developing rapidly, and the market environment is good. At the same time, there has been a shortage of testing institutions locally and lagging testing service cycles, and the prospects for new testing institutions to enter are good.

From December 5 to 6, Qin Xianming and the delegation visited the fire resistance testing laboratory of Victoria University and local fire resistance testing institutions, and gained an in-depth understanding of the acquisition process of Australian NATA accreditation and the local testing market and technical characteristics. At the same time, the two sides communicated and exchanged views on the characteristics of the building materials industry in regional segmented markets.

Yang Weiping, Senior Executive of CTC Jiangsu Company, and others participated in this outbound exchange visit.
