Shanghai Wonderland

Here's an interesting way to reuse an old quarry:

 

Shanghai ‘earthscraper’: World’s 1st underground hotel opens in China inside abandoned quarry

The old prospect quarry NSW, is now a new residential suburb, started some years ago but I've not been to have a look.

 

And definitely not as impressive as the Chinese hotel.

 

I wondered how they drain the water, sewage, and any heavy gases.

It seems my former comment, is not to be a " residential suburb "

 

But a " Greystanes Southern Employment Lands - A warehouse and distribution centre on the western part of the Greystanes Southern Employment Lands (to be known as the QuarryWEST Project, DEXUS Estate). The details of the proposal comprise: â subdivision of the site into eight development lots; â construction of internal roads and site services; â detailed earthworks; â construction and use of industrial (warehousing and distribution centres) and business (retail) facilities across the site; and - a total gross floor area across the site of approximately 131,140 m². "

 

I wonder what the : a" : means ?.

Have never seen  before. Some sort of French thing maybe?

It is the lower case " a " with the hat on, proceeding each sentence.

 

Perhaps someone has a NEW Metric printer.
