Is there any way to merge these two sentences?

Howdy Folks,

We have been granted 16 national-level patents for construction methods and 186 provincial- or ministerial-level patents for construction methods.

Here's my proposal:

We have been granted 16 national-level patents as well as 186 provincial- or ministerial-level patents for construction methods.

All comments would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
