HA develops and implements a public housing programme which spans all development stages from planning to design, construction, facility operation and maintenance. Among the prevailing IT systems that are currently used in the construction industry, BIM is the most versatile tool that enhances the efficiency of information exchange, and in particular connects the intelligence of different disciplines to the project.

Global Switch Hong Kong is a design and build project with a scope that includes substructure, superstructure, electricaland mechanical, façade, fit-out and maintenance works. It is currently thelargest data centre in Hong Kong. As the main contractor, Gammon is responsible for all works, which are being delivered with the support of in-house expertise. The project makes full use of BIM forcoordination and manufacturing, as well as handover throughout the differentstages of the project's life cycle.

Located on a 130-hectare reclaimed island, the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) will serve as a strategic multi-modal transportation hub in western Hong Kong and provide clearance services for vehicles and passengers entering and leaving Hong Kong via the new 50-kilometer Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge. Leighton Asia in joint venture with Chun Wo Building Construction (LeightonJV) was responsible for construction of the 40,000-square-meter passenger clearance building and associated works. To complete the USD 4.6 billion project consisting of a wide range of infrastructure and buildings in a timely and cost-effective manner, the multi-discipline team integrated BIM technology to streamline workflows and identify potential engineering clashes.

Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) is an appealing project covering 28-hectare. Its unique pearl shell design resonates Hong Kong's reputation as "Pearl of the Orient". The main stadium of KTSP will serve to hold a wide range of sports, entertainment and community events. It has a capacity of up to 50,000-seat, and possesses features such as a soundproof retractable roof and a flexible pitch system, creating an adaptable venue capable of hosting events of various scales; and an indoor sports centre with a 10,000-seat main arena, a 500-seat ancillary sports hall, a 5,000-seat public sports ground and commercial facilities, all surrounded by extensive public open space. In short-term, all designs are expected to be completed within two years through a single-source online platform. The midterm goal is to complete the construction in the 5th year integrating the process of “Design, Build and Operate”, and the ultimate goal is to create a new home for sports development that can be sustainable for the next 20 years and beyond.

3D model helps design and build Hong Kong’s largest on-site chlorine generation plant In 2013, Hong Kong’s Water Supplies Department (WSD) has launched a project to expand Tai Po Water Treatment Works, which will supply 30% of the fresh water supply to Tai Po, West and Central Kowloon, and Central and Western Districts of Hong Kong Island. The plant uses chlorine for disinfection of drinking water. The treated water meets the Guidelines for Drinkingwater Quality recommended by the World Health Organisation. Since there are no chlorine gas suppliers in Hong Kong, WSD has been importing liquid chlorine from Guangdong Province, which is transported to the water treatment works for storage and use.

A few weeks ago, we published as a starting point a series of articles that aims to aware everyone’s mind. Showing case studies and an open feasibility proposal on the topic well known by everyone “Waste and Humans” … How are we doing with our world, cities, neighbourhoods, streets, buildings, homes, habits? Something easy to see when living in a big dense city like Hong Kong, but being a global problem (accepted or not) that we all suffer. Maybe is the sad human nature, that only make us react when it affects us individually?. When you feel it on your own feet at the beach, when you see it in a hike, when you get it in your lungs on a morning run, or just while walking to work on your daily basis… yes, is “Waste”......
