Commencement of Stage I works for relocation of the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to cavernsThe Drainage Services Department signed contract no
DC/2018/05 for around HK$811 million with China State Joint
Venture on 22 February 2019. The 35-month works contract,
which commenced on 28 February 2019, covers the Stage I
works for the relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to
caverns.
The Stage I works comprises site preparation works at the main
access tunnel portal area including construction of the relevant
retaining structures; construction of about 350 m of the main
access tunnel leading to the proposed cavern complex at Nui
Po Shan; construction of about 500 m of the access road leading
to the proposed ventilation shaft; and ancillary works. The
completion of the project can release 28 hectares of land for the
long-term development of the Sha Tin and Ma On Shan regions.
Towngas renewable energy project won more industrial awards in 2019In 2018, the Towngas’ combined heat and power (CHP) system
at the Tai Po Nethersole Hospital received the Asia Pacific Rim
Regional Energy Project of the Year Award from the Association
of Energy Engineer.
In 2019, the project continued to win awards. On 29 April, it
received a Bronze Award at the Hong Kong Green Innovations
Awards, led by the Environmental Campaign Committee
alongside the Environmental Protection Department, in
recognition of its innovative, green ideas for reducing emissions
and saving energy costs.
On 16 May, the project was selected for the “5th Year Best
Project Award”, organised by the Institution of Mechanical
Engineers Hong Kong Branch. This award recognised that the
CHP system has achieved an excellent total energy utilisation of
87%.
As the first project of its kind in Hong Kong, the CHP system
utilises landfill gas from the Northeast New Territories Landfill site
as its main fuel, generating electricity, steam and hot water for
disinfection, laundry, space heating and other purposes at the
hospital, thus embracing the green concept of turning waste
into energy.
COVER STORY
July 2019 I Hong Kong Engineer 7
With an approximate 38 years of
experience under his belt, Ir Ringo
S M Yu, the HKIE President for
Session 2019/2020 is dedicated
to nurturing young engineering
professionals in the industry.
Joining the HKIE as a Graduate
Member in 1985, Ir Yu has always
been seeing engineering as his
lifelong career. His unbridled love
of engineering started at a young
age when he was exposed to the
fascinating scenes of witnessing
the kaleidoscope of building works
evolving every day.
He summons the remembrance
of his childhood and reckons that
he is destined to be an engineer.
“When I was six, my father brought
me to a wood furniture making
factory on ‘Lo Pan Patron’s Day’,
a festival that holds the tradition
of sharing meals with everyone.
At that time, my father gave me
a bowl and told me to ask for
a meal from the workers with a firm
belief that having the meal given
by the factory workers would cast
fate on my later life working in
the construction or engineering
industry. The construction and
engineering industry was blooming
at the same time.”
Received his secondary school
education in St Joseph’s College in
Hong Kong, Ir Yu left his hometown
in pursuit of his tertiary education at
Vanier College in 1976. As he was
relatively weak at Chemistry and
Electricity, he then studied at McGill
University to obtain the Bachelor
of Civil Engineering and Applied
Performing Kung Fu in 1979
Ir Yu with his brothers in 1971
Mechanics Bachelor Degree in
Montreal, Canada, in 1982. He is
a Registered Professional Engineer
in Civil, Geotechnical and Structural
Disciplines after some years of
practice in the engineering field.
Specialises in civil engineering work
in Hong Kong, Ir Yu has worked for
consultants and a construction
company, Barbican Construction
Co Ltd as an Executive Director. In
1995, Ir Yu gave up his prestigious
position in Barbican Construction
and started up his own company,
Fraser Construction Co Ltd.
Shaping the landscape of the profession with HKIEContributing to the industry as
an active member in various
committees of the HKIE for more
than ten years, Ir Yu has witnessed
the changes in the industry in this
fast-changing metropolis. He points
out that the engineering industry
is becoming much more complex
comparing to 1982, the time when
he started his career as a graduate
engineer. “Advanced techniques
and excellent professional
knowledge, which were taken
references from foreign avant-garde
technologies, are what boost Hong

Kong’s standard in engineering,”
he adds.
In the beginning, Ir Yu was in
charge of organising activities
such as technical talks, seminars,
annual dinners as well as site visits
for young engineers.
Ir Yu’s passion for contributing to the
industry and practitioners has been
ever blooming since he embarked
on his journey with the HKIE. He
stresses that serving the HKIE has
broadened his horizon as he
organises a bounty of exhilarating
events, including overseas
expeditions. Through working with
overseas specialists, it not only
helps to shape the landscape of
the city’s engineering industry,
but also boosts Ir Yu’s professional
knowledge and expands his social
network whilst sharing prospects
on social contribution with other
professionals from diverse fields,
from architects to government
officials. For more, “it cultivates
me to put myself into the shoes of
different stakeholders,” says Ir Yu.
“I am very happy to transfer
my knowledge to the next
generations,” says Ir Yu, “one of
the very remarkable works is the
HKIE President's Protégé Scheme
2018/2019. In the Scheme, ten
emerging young talents had
been selected.” The Scheme was
brimming with an exclusive array
of tasks to sharpen the competitive
edge of the young professionals.
Selected engineers gained
valuable insights from shadowing
the President of the HKIE and by
organising activities in schools
to arouse youngsters’ interests in
engineering.
To unleash the potential of the
selected engineers in the HKIE
President’s Protégé Scheme,
the HKIE President's Protégés
Club (HKIE-PPC) was established
in 2010, gathering Protégés
selected by the Presidents each
year. Committed to promoting
engineering profession to the
public, HKIE-PPC supports the HKIE
particularly regarding the theme
of the Institution of the Session and
organises peer learning seminars,
visits, and other activities for the
benefit of Protégés.
Ir Yu’s dedication has led him
to his reputable position in the
field. In addition to growing his
own business, he is committed
to involving in diversified society

issues and shaping the society by
sharing his professional viewpoints
whilst participating in a wide
range of events and committee’s
meetings organised by different
organisations.
HKIE Session 2019/2020 highlights The HKIE plays the role as an
enabler to boost professional
excellence for the engineering
industry. Meanwhile, the Institution
promotes engineering to the young
talents to beckon them to join the
profession. Themed on ‘Knowledge
Transfer • Our Commitment for the
Future’, Ir Yu says, “This year, we
will continue to inspire engineering
professionals, the public and the
next generation. We are looking
forward to witnessing a fruitful year
as the Institution will collaborate
with more prestigious parties and
provide more awe-inspiring events
for engineers.”
The HKIE aims to achieve transfer
of knowledge, skills and abilities
through organising educational
events, such as lectures; training;
seminars; technical visits;
workshops; and more, to support
knowledge sharing among
members as well as knowledge
transfer from experts in other fields.
“Take the younger generation
as an example, they have often
been said to be poor in their
English proficiency. Engineers are
particularly stereotyped as having
relatively weak communication
skills. Therefore, despite providing
engineering related training

and events, we are providing
technical writing and presentation
training for them.” says Ir Yu, “For
those who have newly joined this
profession, senior engineers will
position themselves as the young
professionals’ mentors and teach
them the essentials which are
required when one first enters the
profession. Senior engineers will
also direct the younger generation
to the right track along their early
career paths, so young engineers
will not have to face as many
obstacles as the seniors once
faced.”
The Institution also conducts
a pilot run for the accreditation
of Master of Science Programmes
under engineering fields; and joins
hands with other institutions in
organising regional conferences
for professionals in promoting
innovation and technology in the
engineering profession. One of
the exciting regional conferences
is the Shanghai and Hong Kong
Symposium on Science and
Technology 2019 to be held on
27-28 September 2019, jointly
organised by the Institution and the
Shanghai Association for Science
and Technology.
Engineering extravaganza: the HKIE Engineer Cadet Club Programme in Session 2019/2020With the goal of promoting
engineering and nurturing
future competent engineers,
the Institution continues the HKIE
Engineer Cadet Club Programme
in Session 2019/2020 which has
been launched since June 2018.
Aimed at extending to more
schools, including a number of
primary schools, the Institution
has developed a new set of STEM
educational kits for primary and
secondary school students.
The current Session as well features
more promotional and publicity
activities comparing to the
previous editions, showcasing the
contribution and stories of unsung
engineering heroes behind the
wholesome engineering projects
in Hong Kong. The Institution firmly
believes that the public and
students’ interests and knowledge
of engineering, as well as
awareness about the contributions
of the engineering industry on their
daily lives, will be aroused.
The HKIE encourages young
members to engage with the
Institution by participating in
meaningful activities such as
the HKIE Engineer Cadet Club
Programme to facilitate their
interaction and sharing of the
profession with the younger
generation. With the support of
young members, the Institution is
in the hope that students’ interests
in engineering and skills in STEM
learning will be aroused through
participating in these activities.
Ir Yu’s notes Installed as the President of the
Institution in September 2018,
Ir Yu was on tenterhooks. Ir Yu
not only added ideas of his own
to the plans made along the
theme of Session 2018/2019: “New
Perspectives New Momentum”,
but he has also created bountiful
activities in Session 2019/2020 in the
hope of shaping the profession’s
landscape.
Ir Yu points out that he upholds
the responsibility to nurture young
engineers and attract more teens
to take engineering as the major
in their studies, thus entering the
industry. “Taking the President’s role
in the Institution demands a lot of
hard work and dedication, but I am
committed to trying my best, and
investing more resources and time
to transfer knowledge and create
a better future for the profession,”
he emphasises.
Contributing to the engineering profession through community servicesAs his own business has been
running on track since 2000, Ir Yu
is very actively involved in many
voluntary public services and
contributes much of his time.
Wanting to pay back to society
at large with his profession, he
provides expert advice to the
engineering profession and the
construction industry.
Not to mention his involvement in
serving the Hong Kong community
in different public bodies, including
the HKIE, Engineers Registration
Board, Construction Industry
Council, Hong Kong Construction
Association, Construction Workers
Registration Board and Employee
Compensation Assistance Fund
Board. He has been honoured with
more than a handful of awards
for his devotion to serving the
community.

have been used, and protective
measures have been adopted to
prevent dust and noise nuisance on
site,” he stresses. “Technology is one
of the keys to obtaining a greener
environment. Technology not only
helps to advance the industry, but
also helps to gain new knowledge
on improving or protecting the
environmental condition.”
Facing the emerging trends of the Greater Bay Area and the Belt and Road aheadUnder the impetus of the planning
and development of the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao
Greater Bay Area and the Belt and
Road, there is a visible increase
in the demand for engineering
professionals. Ir Yu believes that
the trends have provided a lot of
opportunities for the profession.
While the population of the Greater
Bay Area is ten times more than
that of Hong Kong, Ir Yu sees it as
a new hidden gem for Hong Kong’s
market which has been known
as the epitome of professional
services and boundless innovation
internationally.
“However, to compete for the
market in the PRC, engineering
professionals in Hong Kong need
to be able to amplify their own
strength, market values and culture.
The knowledge on differentiating
the law of diverse region is equally
important,” says Ir Yu.
In addition to the HKSAR
government’s huge investment on
infrastructure in these ten years, the
HKIE is nurturing future professionals
to withstand new challenges by
joining hands with organisations in
the Mainland to organise visits for
young professionals to observe and
investigate the Greater Bay Area
and to have a better understanding
on the different cultures. “It is surely
an intriguing experience for our
young talents,” says Ir Yu.
Working with numerous construction
workers, Ir Yu deeply understands
the challenges that frontline
workers are encountering. One of
his significant community services
is that he supports funding to help
those construction workers and
their families who have suffered
from fatal accidents.
He has aligned with a number of
associations to support construction
workers that suffered from fatal
accidents. Ir Yu and representatives
of these associations visit the
homes of the injured workers and
hand them generous benevolent
assistance, which is care and
humanity in addition to money.
Ir Yu and the representatives are
eager to see if there are other
things that they can help. “It is very
upsetting to see what the injured
workers are facing. However, I am
glad to have the chance to help
construction workers who are in
need,” says Ir Yu.
Serving the Construction Industry
Council as Member from 2015 to
2019, Ir Yu transfers knowledge
and directs the engineering
professionals on topics include
cutting-edge technology, safety
measurements and robotic trends,
in the hope of influencing and
empowering the profession.
In addition to nurturing the new
generation and transferring
knowledge, Ir Yu reckons that
environmental issues should also be
under the spotlight. “Environmental
issues were neglected in the
industry previously. I am happy
to see that, in recent years, the
amount of wastes has been
decreasing, for more and more
environmental-friendly materials
Unbridled passion for the engineering professionWorking in the engineering industry
for decades, Ir Yu’s passion for
engineering is what keeps the
buoyancy of his spirit. Aware of his
responsibility as a corporate citizen,
Ir Yu is committed to serving the
community and takes advantage
of his high position in the industry to
help people in need. When Ir Yu, as
the founder of Fraser Construction
Co Ltd hands over the reins, he
now spends about 70-80% of his
time on community services.
In line with his philosophy of “fulfilling
the standard and responsibility of
myself and others’”, Ir Yu promises
to carry on with his contribution
to society and the engineering

profession, representing the HKIE
and the engineering profession.
“Never give up” is what Ir Yu says to
new practitioners. He is a believer
that courage is what helps
engineers to go the extra mile in
their careers. Knowing what new
practitioners face at the junior
stage in their career, Ir Yu says,
“I will try my best to encourage
them and share my own
experiences.”
To connect with the younger
generation, Ir Yu keeps his words
concise yet meaningful to fit in
the communication styles of the
younger generation. Moreover,
he has mastered a variety of
social media platforms in order to
communicate with them.
Balancing his work and personal lifeBearing massive responsibilities,
Ir Yu embraces the contemporary
concept of work-life balance. To
restore the balance from his hectic
life, Ir Yu loves to indulge in the
immersive fun of sports, including
hiking which can help to release his
stress with the unparalleled beauty
of nature.
As a golf lover, he plays golf two
to three times per month. “I enjoy
playing golf and developing skills
involved for golfing. It is also
a great time for me to mingle with
my friends or business partners,”
he says.
Ir Yu’s passion for football has been
enlightened since he was young.
Although he now has a lack of
time in playing football, he always
treasures the joyful football
moments from his childhood.
“Priding as a member of my
secondary school’s football
team, our team took home the
champion of the Inter-Secondary
School Football Match and for two
consecutive years without losing
a match,” says Ir Yu, “I had
a happy secondary school life,
thanks to our teachers who were
missionaries from Ireland. Our
teachers taught us to work hard,
play hard. Our teachers’ philosophy
of education was all about self-
inspiring and learning with fun. This
certainly has influenced me on the
way of nurturing future leaders of
the engineering profession.”

Immersing in the fun of skiing with his family in 2008
To balance his work;
entertainment; social contribution;
and his relationship with his family,
Ir Yu reckons being well planned
at all times is the key to good
time management. Despite
his tight schedule, Ir Yu always
spares his weekends for his family.
“Indulging in an incredible array
of scrumptious dim sum with my
mother; hiking with my children;
and shopping with wife mark my
lovely weekends,” says Ir Yu with
a smile on his face.
“I always want more time with my
children,” adds Ir Yu, “I never put
pressure on my children. I want
them to be free and be able to
pursue their own dream careers.”

An update on ISO 45001
By Ir Prof Vincent HO
We introduced ISO 45001 (the Standard) to you in 2015.
After two years of delay, the Standard was fi nally published on 12 March 2018 as ISO 45001:2018, occupational health and safety management systems - requirements with guidance for use.
Based on the common elements found in the ISO’s management system standards, such as ISO 9001 and 14001, the Standard uses a simple plan-do-check-act (PDCA) model to provide a framework for organisations of all sizes and industries to minimise the risk of harm through a robust and effective set of processes for improving work safety.
As ISO 45001 is now released, companies currently holding OHSAS 18001 certifi cation must migrate to the new standard by March 2021 when OHSAS 18001 will be withdrawn. To prepare for the migration, you should note the key changes of ISO 45001 over OHSAS 18001:
• ISO 45001 is process-based, while OHSAS 18001 is procedure-based
• ISO 45001 considers both risk and opportunities that
may impact (either positively or negatively) the ability of the management system to deliver its intended results, including enhanced health and safety at the workplace, while OHSAS 18001 deals exclusively with risk
• ISO 45001 introduces new clauses for systematic determination and monitoring of the business context external and internal issue
• ISO 45001 introduces enhanced focus on needs and expectations for workers and other interested parties
• ISO 45001 has stronger emphasis on leadership and top management commitment to actively engage and take accountability for the effectiveness of the management system
• ISO 45001 considers procurement including outsourced processes, and contractors
• ISO 45001 strengthened focus on objectives as drivers for improvements and performance evaluation
These points represent a signifi cant shift in the way safety and health management is perceived. Safety and health are no longer treated as a “stand alone”, but must be viewed within the perspective of running a sound and sustainable organisation. Although the two standards differ in their approach, a management system established in accordance with OHSAS 18001 will be a solid platform for migrating to ISO 45001 because most of the basic tools are the same.

INSTITUTION & DIVISION ACTIVITIES
Ir Leung first briefed the participants on
the background of the CWB project
and outlined the major challenges such
as to tunnel underneath the existing
Cross Harbour Tunnel (CHT). Ir Leung
then shared in detail that the 50 m span
trinocular mined tunnel underneath
the CHT was constructed by the drill
and break method. In order to minimise
the impact to any sensitive receiver,
protective and contingency measures,
including additional steel weight to the
CHT portal, standby dewatering and
recharging system and compressive
instrumental monitoring, had been
adopted.
Ir Leung emphasised the importance of
the engineer’s judgement by comparing
the differences between the mapped
Q-values and estimated Q-values of the
region surrounding the works area. He
also advised further studies should be
put forward to increase the accuracy of
pre-construction assessment results.
Finally, Ir Leung concluded that the true
concept of the New Austrian Tunnelling
Method approach in the execution,
design and supervision of the works
was to understand the “observational
method” and to react cooperatively
on resolving any problems by applying
a “design-as-you-go approach”.
The essential keys for the successful
completion of the mined tunnel project
were the proper selection of plant,
comprehensive instrumentation, the
provision of precautionary measures
and reacting cooperatively to resolve
problems.
The seminar was well-received and
ended with a fruitful question-and-
answer session. Ir Simon Ng, Committee
Member of the CV Division for Session
2018/2019, presented
a pennant to Ir Leung
for his informative
presentation.

Deputy Chairman of the CA Division for
Session 2018/2019. Two rooms were filled
with members, academics, engineers,
officials, industry practitioners and
students of various disciplines including
environmental, automation, energy and
chemical.
At the beginning of the seminar, Prof
Chan briefly described the formation
of particulate matter (PM). He then
elaborated on the fact that PM
air pollution imposes severe health
problems on humans, degrades visibility
in cities and adversely impacts the
global climate. He noted that over
1.3 million people in the PRC had
already died most likely as a result of
serious air pollution. However, Prof Chan
believed that government officials of
both the PRC and Hong Kong had been
endeavouring to tackle PM issues.

Prof Chan also shared the results of his
studies using aerosol mass spectrometry
on the characteristics of submicron PM
and their sources at urban roadsides in
Hong Kong.
Total non-refractory PM at the
roadside vastly dominated by organic
constituents with primary organic
aerosol from cooking and traffic was
found to be dominant. Findings of
the studies were corroborated by
additional measurements including
wind rose analysis, traffic data,
elemental carbon/organic carbon
data and gas phase species.
Prof Chan also briefly mentioned
measurements of on-road emissions,
that is carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides from heavy-duty
buses and cars taken in Gothenburg,
Sweden.
Afterwards, Ir C S Leung expressed his
appreciation for the well-prepared and
professional presentation. The seminar
concluded with a question-and-answer

Ir Ho discussed three major innovative
design elements of the solar farm.
Firstly, all PV panels were fixed on
prefabricated concrete blocks, which
provide flexibility in relocating the
whole or part of the system for future
development. Secondly, the DSD
introduced an intelligent direct-current
combiner box for part of the solar farm
as a pilot trial, which allows the plant
operators to effectively locate any
faulty PV panels in the solar farm. Finally,
the Solar Farm Monitoring Room which
has a centralised monitoring system for
the operating staff to display information
in multi-media formats. Throughout the
visit, all participants enjoyed panoramic
views of the solar farm and acquired
an in-depth understanding of the PV
system.
All participants were then led to the
Organic Resources Recovery Centre
in O∙PARK1, where Dr Samuel H K Chui,
Assistant Director of Waste Infrastructure
Planning in the Environmental Protection
Department (EPD), explained that
O∙PARK1 is a self-sustainable food waste
recycling facility that uses advanced
anaerobic digestion and composting
technologies to convert food waste into
biogas for power generation.
Apart from generating heat and power
for internal use, O∙PARK1 can generate
an estimated 14 million kWh of surplus
electricity, an equivalent of the energy
consumption of about 3,000 households.
During the visit, the participants
acquired an in-depth understanding of
the self-sustainable food waste recycling
facility.
The EG Division would like to express
their sincere thanks to DSD and EPD for

over 18,000 TEUs simultaneously. As
a result, inter-terminal trucking will
be significantly reduced and even
eliminated altogether in some cases.
This will bring greater efficiency and cost
savings to the shipping lines.

Manufacturing & Industrial
The major theme of the Young Engineers
Programme (YEP) this year was cyber-
physical systems (CPS) for industrial and
manufacturing applications. The YEP
was well supported by the ASM Pacific
Technology (ASMPT) Group, which
arranged manufacturing factory visits
and provided mentorship for four project
teams from The Chinese University of
Hong Kong (CUHK), The Hong Kong
Polytechnic University (PolyU), The
Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology (HKUST) and The University of
Hong Kong (HKU).
Each team identified operational
problems during the ASMPT factory
visits. Then, they proposed solutions to
tackle the problems in order to enhance
operational efficiency at an affordable
cost by integrating the internet of things
(IoT) and CPS technologies, including
radio-frequency identification (RFID),
QR codes, automatic-guided vehicles
(AGV), robots, computer vision and
augmented reality (AR) glasses.

Power Station (YNPS) and a presentation
on the history of the station. Participants
were invited into an exhibition hall to
view the displays on the principles of
nuclear power, the construction of
YNPS, scale models of the station and its
reactor cooling system.

of these six units began in 2008 to 2013.
Five units entered commercial operation
between 2014 and 2018, and Unit 6 is
expected to be completed in 2019.
Units 1 to 4 are CPR-1000 and CPR-1000+
types. Both originated from the French
M310 design, with slight improvements in
rated capacity and various engineering
features. In contrast, the ACPR-1000
reactors implemented in
YNPS’s Units 5 and 6 hold
full Chinese intellectual

Chinese reactor to have an indigenous
digital control system.
As Unit 6 was still under construction
during the visit, participants had the rare
opportunity of visiting the interior of its
0.9 m thick containment building, which
holds key equipment for the primary
cooling system of the reactor.
The containment building is the third
and final barrier to contain radioactive
release from the reactor in the event of
a severe nuclear accident. By looking
at various plant equipment and safety
measures which keep the power station
running properly, we are confident that
the era of safe, reliable, economical
and environmental-friendly power
generation will arrive soon.
A group of 22 visitors from the NE Division
visited the Nuclear Reactor Simulation
Laboratory in City University of Hong
Kong (CityU) on 16 March 2019.
The group was warmly welcomed by
Ir Dr B L Luk of CityU. He began with a
brief introduction of the operational
principles of nuclear power plants,
nuclear power development in the PRC,
the training criteria for nuclear plant
operators, the medical applications
of nuclear technology and the career
opportunities for nuclear engineering
graduates in Hong Kong.
He then introduced the operation of
the pressurised water reactor (PWR),
and the in-house generic PWR reactor
simulator and simulation software for
severe nuclear accidents and the
associated atmospheric radiological
dispersion.
Technical visit to the Nuclear Reactor Simulation Laboratory at City University of Hong KongBy Mr Stan MOU
Ir Dr Luk simulated the behaviour of the
PWR in various accident scenarios, using
a modular accident analysis program.
The simulator serves as a useful tool
for both research and educational
purposes in the university.
The scenarios included a loss of
coolant accident and the loss of all
on-site and off-site alternating current
power. There was also an explanation
on the development of some key
plant parameters and its significance
throughout these accidents. The
environmental effects on Hong Kong
during a nuclear plant accident were
also demonstrated.
With the integral use of the simulator
and the software, information on plant
operating conditions, the possible
outcome of an accident on plant
safety and integrity, the consequential
radiological dispersion particularly in
severe plant events and its effect on the
environment under various circumstances
could be demonstrated.
On behalf of the NE Division,
we would like to express our
sincere thanks to Ir Dr Luk
for providing an inspiring
demonstration and visit with
such detailed insights into
the capability of nuclear
simulators in the modern

introduced the latest initiative for
a part-time dual Master’s programme
between The Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology, the
University of Strathclyde and the CLP
Power Academy in areas related to
future power system operation and
management.
It is beyond doubt that the continuing
development of Hong Kong’s economy
requires a steady supply of talented
engineers. The major infrastructure
The dual Master’s programme as
introduced by Ir Poon is the first of its
kind in tertiary education. It will make
available an opportunity for aspiring
engineers to equip themselves with an
understanding of the latest technologies

Update on SARTOR3 (Standards and Routes to Registration 3) and UK-SPEC (The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence)The Engineering Council (UK) implemented the SARTOR3
system from 1999. Accredited MEng degrees or accredited
BEng degrees plus matching sections are required to satisfy
the academic requirements for Chartered Engineers in the UK.
The HKIE is a signatory to the Washington Accord and the HKIE
recognises the accredited MEng or accredited BEng degrees
plus matching sections of the Engineering Council (UK) from first
intake year 1999 as satisfying the academic requirements for
Member of the HKIE.
The SARTOR3 system has been replaced by the UK-SPEC since
1 March 2004 and the updated academic requirements for
Chartered Engineers (CEng) Registration are as follows:
(i) An accredited integrated MEng degree; or
(ii) An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in
engineering or technology plus either an appropriate
Masters degree accredited or approved by a professional
engineering institution; or
(iii) An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in
engineering or technology plus appropriate further learning
to Masters level.
In line with these changes, the HKIE shall accept graduates from
the UK as satisfying the academic requirements for Member of
the Institution if they could provide document proof from the
Engineering Council (UK) that they have satisfied the academic
requirements ie either (i), (ii) or (iii) for Chartered Engineers
(CEng) Registration.

non-compliance;
3. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD
requirements in the third consecutive year may be invited to
an interview with the HKIE CPDC Representative(s);
4. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD
requirements for the 4th consecutive year will have their
names published in Hong Kong Engineer.

LEGCO NEWS
July 2019 I Hong Kong Engineer48
Received the petition letter from the construction industry
Together with the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and The Hon
Abraham L H Shek, I received a petition
letter from the representatives of the
construction industry on 10 May 2019.
We listened to their concerns over
filibustering in the LegCo. They
complained that the slow approval of
public works projects has affected the
industry and workers’ livelihood, and
strongly expressed that filibustering
disrupts LegCo’s normal operations and
jeopardises social order, and it should
be stopped.

Durability and Cracking:
Cracking Corrosion Solved!
The Eastern District Hospital High-Temperature Salt Water
Cooling Tower (1987) was protected against chloride
corrosion of structural steel by the specification and use of
the Cementaid HPI, Everdure Caltite System for the entire
structure, including the roof.
In normal, plain concrete structures, the
concrete absorbs moisture and dissolved salts.
This saturates the concrete and provides the
electrolyte for the formation of the galvanic
cells on which corrosion depends. The
structural steel corrodes, along with any metal
pipe projections, fixtures and fittings. The
expansive nature of the corrosion process
causes the surrounding concrete to crack,
leading to further and faster corrosion.
Cracking in the cover zone completely bypasses the protection
intended by the cover concrete. Cracking is the major driver of
corrosion and deterioration of structural concrete, it is
responsible for the dramatically-shortened service life of these
structures - from the design life of 70 or 100 years to the actual
service life of typically 12 to 15 years, at which time corrosion
repairs must be commenced. (The ACI defines service life as
“time to first spall”)
Structural concrete protected by the Cementaid HPI, Everdure Caltite System, will not absorb moisture or
dissolved salts - ever. Consequently, concrete remains internally DRY, the galvanic cells on which
corrosion depends cannot form, and reinforcing steel is protected - permanently. Even corrosion of the
exposed sections of pipe projections and fixtures, etc., is halted where the projection enters the protected
concrete. No expansive corrosion reactions can occur to crack the concrete or lead to accelerated
deterioration. Similarly, cracking in the cover zone cannot affect the durability of the structure, because
the steel remains encased in permanently - DRY, high-resistivity Caltite conerete.
The durability performance of Cementaid Everdure Caltite System concrete
has been independently verified through the 55-year history of use
(since 1960) in structures in the field in the full range of exposure conditions.
