Media - A medium for listening to the EngineersAs engineers, we spare no efforts to offer our expertise and

innovative ideas on improvement of people’s living quality

for the betterment of the society. By giving advices to the

Government and the general public, we hope to provide

solutions to problems or inspire more discussions in order

to engender collective wisdom. That is why the Institution

works closely with the media on topical matters where

engineers’ opinions are warranted.

In the past few months, the Institution has conducted

about 40 interviews with various media including print,

online and electronic news programmes. These interviews

have covered a wide spectrum of areas including sanitary

and public health concerns arising from the COVID-19

pandemic, reclamation, heritage conservation, fire safety

and many more.

On many occasions, our President, Ir Prof P L Yuen has been

on the front actively providing practical, informative and

prompt advices to the public on drainage arrangements,

ventilation and air exchange issues helping people to

combat the pandemic. Readers may already note that

Ir Prof Yuen has also been appointed by the Government

as Chairman of the Working Group on Implementing the

Requirement on Air Change or Air Purifiers in Dine-in

Restaurants under Cap 599F, thus making further

contributions to assist Hong Kong in fighting the virus.

We do hope that our public voice can help educate the

public on matters concerning the profession, uplift the

professional status of engineers as well as provide useful

expert advice to the society in this difficult time.

in February 2021. Both projects involve DCS pipe laying, as

well as the design, construction and operation of DCS plants,

and aim to provide district cooling services commencing

from around 2026 to meet the population intake schedules.

DCS is a large-scale centralised air-conditioning infrastructure

which creates green job opportunities and reduces the heat

island effect. It is more energy efficient than the traditional

central air-conditioning system in individual buildings and

achieves energy saving by taking advantage of economy

of scale and load diversity of various buildings.

As mentioned by the Chief Executive in the 2020 Policy

Address, Hong Kong will strive to achieve carbon neutrality

before 2050. To this end, the Government will examine

various means and take forward different measures to

reduce carbon emissions. Against this background, the

Environment Bureau and the Electrical and Mechanical

Services Department have been spearheading the

implementation of District Cooling System (DCS) in new

development areas, including Tung Chung New Town

Extension (East) and Kwu Tung North New Development

Area.

The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council recently

approved the DCS funding proposals for Tung Chung East

(HK$3,918.2 million) and Kwu Tung North (HK$5,787.7 million)

Legislative Council approved District Cooling Systems at Tung Chung East and Kwu Tung North

Designed by Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with

TFP Farrells and Arup, the long-awaited M+ has completed

its construction of museum building and is set to open to the

public by the end of 2021.

With a total footprint of 65,000 sq m, the M+ building houses

17,000 sq m of exhibition space across 33 galleries. Its

eye-striking inverted T shape is a simple design, yet its facade

is something special. The podium and tower are united as

concrete structures clad in ceramic tiles that reflect the

changing conditions of light and weather. The tower is

covered with 140,000 pieces of ceramic tiles, many with

windows in between. They are laid out in a horizontal louvre

structure to provide sun shading to the museum’s interior

spaces.

The M+ building sits directly above tunnels for the MTR Airport

Express and Tung Chung Line. The excavation around the

railway tunnels produces a ‘found space’ that provides an

anchor for the building for hosting dynamic and rotating

installations. To facilitate the construction, the project team

needed to control the tunnel movements in accordance with

strict limits set by Hong Kong’s transit and building authorities.

The engineering solution included the use of five mega-trusses

which prevent the massive structure loading on the tunnels.

The landmark building also includes three cinemas,

a mediatheque, a learning hub, a research centre, a roof

garden, a members lounge, a coffee and tea bar, museum

shops, restaurants and offices, providing a space for learning,

interpretation and inspiration set against the backdrop of

Victoria Harbour.

How recycling

technology can keep

Hong Kong’s landfills

from getting overfull

Covid-19 has changed the world in a myriad of unexpected ways.

From how we conduct business to the way we buy food, this

coronavirus has forced us to adopt habits and technologies

to keep our businesses afloat, our stomachs full, and to help

us carry on with our daily lives in general. Meetings are now

conducted online, wearing of face masks, and take-out

meals to be the norm instead of a last-minute option, under

pandemic restrictions.

Our natural environment, too, has been affected. The sharp

drop in international travel and manufacturing activity has

decreased the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) being

pumped into the atmosphere. According to research by

the University of East Anglia, the University of Exeter and

the Global Carbon Project there has been a 7% drop in

greenhouse gas emissions to the tune of 2.4 billion tons

between 2019 and 2020, which is the most significant decline

on record.

Flora and fauna that have been absent from their natural

habitats for years have now reappeared, such as the

re-emergence of pink dolphins in Hong Kong. While this is

good news, the truth of Covid-19’s impact on the environment

is far more staggering.

Our waste problemHong Kong’s issue with waste was severe enough before

the pandemic. During 2018, the Environmental Protection

Department (EPD) recorded 5.87 million tonnes of solid waste

being dumped into landfills. This amounted to about 1.53 kg

of waste created every day per person - which is also an

increase from 5.66 million tonnes created in the previous year.

Of this total figure, only 30% was recycled.

During the pandemic, with most people being encouraged

to stay at home and to wear single-use personal protective

equipment (PPE) when going out, the rate at which we

are generating rubbish is expected to be even higher.

With thousands of take-out bags, boxes and utensils being

thrown away by stay-at-home dinners every day, both the

lack of public awareness and effective system for collecting

recyclable waste means that these likely end up in our

landfills. The same is true for single-use surgical masks, which

are not only challenging to recycle but often are carelessly

disposed of on our sidewalks, forests, hiking trails, and

beaches.

One-time use plastic items are one of the greatest threats to the environment

Used surgical masks are often carelessly disposed of on our sidewalks, forests, hiking trails, and beaches

Each Hong Kong resident is dumping 1.53 kg each day into the landfills

The EPD also has warned that our current landfills, which were

only meant to last us until 2020, might have been filled earlier

if nothing was done to minimise waste loads. In response,

extensions of the current three strategic landfills still in use

are being put forward, with old ones being turned into areas

available and safe for the public, such as parks and sports

grounds.

Hong Kong is far from the only one suffering from waste-

related headaches. In China, the Ministry of Ecology and

Environment estimated that Wuhan hospitals produced

240 tonnes of waste daily during the height of the pandemic.

The Thailand Environment Institute saw their country’s plastic

waste creation increase from 1,500 tonnes to 6,300 tonnes per

day.

According to research by the University of Alberta in Canada,

15 countries in Africa alone are estimated to use 586,833,053

face masks every day. This also creates a pressing issue of

how all this waste is going to be processed given the limited

access to recycling equipment and technology.

While every country’s situation with waste is unique, recycling

remains to be one of the most direct ways all of us can focus

on to begin moving towards a more sustainable society.

The state of recycling in Hong KongIn Hong Kong, recycling is carried out at both grassroots and

enterprise levels.

Grassroots groups have been at the forefront of Hong Kong’s

recycling efforts and have been heavily relied upon for waste

collection and sustainability education for years. Greeners

Action, a local NGO that collects recyclable waste from

commercial and industrial buildings, could keep up to

40 tonnes of waste from being dumped into our landfills with

its HK$7.1 million trial scheme funded by the Government’s

Recycling Fund. This scheme is the first of its kind and

hopes to pave the way for more Government-supported

recycling schemes in the future. Various NGOs, including

those that are not affiliated initially with green causes, have

also participated by turning part of their workspaces into

collection points. Sadly, many of these grassroots groups

have ceased operations due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Community Green Stations set up by the EPD are some of the

few remaining collection points where the public can dispose

of their recyclables under the pandemic.

For enterprises that recycle for profit, one would think that

business is doing well given the amount of waste being

produced. That would be the case if most of this waste even

reached the recycling facilities in the first place. Instead,

much of it ends up in trash bins designated for landfills. In

2019, Baguio, one of Hong Kong’s largest waste collection

contractors, processed 40 tonnes a day at its glass recycling

facility in Lung Kwu Tan, which is only half of the 100-tonne

capacity it was designed to handle. On top of not receiving

enough glass to fill production capacity, Baguio faces the

additional challenge of having to sort out non-glass items

by hand, such as metal cans, plastic bottles, and take-out

utensils. Baguio’s Project Manager, Delvin Cheng Chung-

wang laments: “People think anything that looks like glass

is glass, so there’s everything in here. Ceramics, porcelain,

crystal, full bottles of ketchup, wine or soy sauce and, of

course, just everyday trash like aluminum cans and plastics.”

However, as of November 2019, Baguio was ordered to

suspend glass collection services and remove many of their

glass collection bins from the streets, citing “recent social

circumstances.”

Another recycling enterprise is MilMill, Hong Kong’s first paper

carton recycling plant. Their production line can handle

20 tonnes of materials if it operates non-stop for 24 hours,

but had been receiving only one tonne a day before the

pandemic. After the onset of Covid-19, the amount of

materials they received drastically decreased to around

100 kg per day due to the redirection of cartons away from

their former collection points in schools, offices, and other

public areas. Fortunately, MilMill has been able to bring that

number back up to one tonne by setting up new collection

points and rebuilding their network with the support of district

councillors. Equally as important is MilMill’s role as an educator

on sustainable habits, holding activities and regular tours at its

facility for the public. These tours are currently suspended due

to pandemic restrictions.

The synergy of both grassroots groups and recycling

enterprises is clear: the former helps to collect recyclable

waste, while the latter processes it. The problem now is that

neither of these is functioning at full capacity, either due to

pandemic restrictions or a lack of public effort to recycle.

How can technology facilitate recycling?Technological innovation has always been one of Hong

Kong’s strengths when it comes to tackling problems. With

funding support from the Government and access to world-

class technologies and talents, engineers with relevant

know-how are more than equipped to overcome recycling

challenges created by the pandemic and beyond.

Recycling thermoplastics

One recent innovation is the development of a new way

of recycling thermoplastics (Patent 10052795). Patented

in Hong Kong in 2018, this recycling system pushes plastic

waste against a rotating frictional heater, transforming it into

a molten form that can be directly pelletised or injection

molded. The combination of shear forces and molten plastic

fragments then distributes contaminants such as paper, dirt,

food, foil, and other foreign materials evenly throughout

the mixture. With this technology, plastic wastes with

contaminants can still yield higher quality products giving

a clear advantage over many other systems. As described

in the patent: “Appropriate blending, mixing and melting

parameters [allow] the use of many plastics and plastic

composites that otherwise could not be effectively recycled,

and the range of plastic mixes that comprise possible input

and output variants is endless.” This also makes recyclers less

reliant on manual sorting for ensuring material purity and

may even help to keep operations running should pandemic

restrictions require workers to stay home.

Pyrolysis

Another recycling process worth delving deeper into is that

of pyrolysis. Through this process, material is burned past its

decomposition temperature in an anaerobic environment,

resulting in the separation and extraction of burnable fuel

and purified materials with numerous industrial applications.

Wood, plastic and tire rubber are some common materials

that can undergo pyrolysis, with all three of these yielding fuel

in various material states. Pyrolysed tire rubber, for example,

yields fuel and carbon black - a key reinforcing agent in

rubber and a pigment that offers a degree of UV protection

and conductivity, which can see use in marine, industrial,

aerospace, or simple decorative applications. Pyrolysed

wood can produce end-products such as activated carbon

and organic fertilisers such as wood vinegar, the latter of

which is separated out from the combustible gases produced

during pyrolysis. Particularly for wood, pyrolysis gives us an

alternative solution to just simply leaving out large amounts

of wood to decompose, which can be useful for quickly

processing fallen trees from typhoons. Currently, one such

facility for wood pyrolysis is in development at EcoPark in Tuen

Mun.

Automated sorting with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

On the topic of sorting, another way technology can aid

the recycling effort is through automation, as current waste

sorting at Hong Kong’s recycling facilities is mostly done by

hand. Although the amount of material that is received by

these facilities leaves much to be desired, automating this

tedious and repetitive task can save operations costs and

increase overall output. TOMRA, a European-based recycling

technology company, develops automated sorters that can

separate different recyclable materials based on factors such

as colour, density, size, and ballistic attributes. Integrating

specialised optical and sensor equipment even allows these

sorters to gather data from waste flows on the production line

and learn how to make more efficient sorts over time, also

known as artificial intelligence via deep learning. Investment

in such technology could lead to less reliance on manual

sorting and higher purity in processed materials, both of which

are good news for the recycler’s bottom line.

On a similar note, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) recycling

technology that is currently used in Hong Kong also uses light

spectrum technology to sort out plastics of different colours.

The plastics are then subject to crushing and deep cleaning

to produce high quality PET pellets for further industrial

application.

Electronic waste processing at WEEE Park

Other than plastics, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

(WEEE) is another major source of waste to fret about, with

around 60 to 70 tonnes of WEEE having ended up in Hong

Kong’s landfills per day in 2018. To remedy the situation, the

Government developed a WEEE treatment and recycling

facility in EcoPark, Tuen Mun. Various electronics, especially

those used in households, are sent here to be processed

according to type, such as refrigerators, air conditioners,

computers, and more. Incoming WEEE is sorted and sent

through four different processing lines: refrigerator processing,

air-conditioning processing, dismantling and material sorting,

and Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) detoxification. Diagrams

breaking down each of these processes can be found on the

Government WEEE Park website. In 2020, of the 23,383 tonnes

of WEEE treated, 20,274 tonnes of materials were recovered.

Despite the coronavirus, the park remains fully operational

today.

Solar panel recycling - Challenging but worthwhile

Unfortunately not all electronic waste is easy to recycle. Items

like solar panels, for example, are relatively costly to recycle,

with few to no recyclers in Hong Kong currently willing to

collect and process them. This, however, does not mean that

solar panels have little valuable materials housed within them.

Silicon, copper, silver, aluminum, and glass are all materials

that, if recovered effectively, have high resale value. The

task for engineers would be to develop ways to extract these

materials while retaining their value, or even designing new

solar panels that allow these materials to be easily extracted.

In 2019, researchers from the EU-funded project CABRISS

began developing a novel extraction method using a water-

based technology and lasers to open thin-film photovoltaic

panels with minimal damage. This not only preserves the

high-quality glass film but also allows the other materials

underneath to retain purity when extracted. As explained

by CABRISS project coordinator David Pelletier, “For Si-based

PV modules, an innovative and water-based technology

was developed which, unlike conventional shredding

technologies, does not break glass resulting in the collection

of all materials in Si PV modules.”

In addition to recycling solar panels, it is also worth exploring

how they can instead be upcycled - in other words, finding

a more creative use for them. In fact, while old solar panels

may not be as efficient as their newer counterparts in

generating energy for commercial applications, they can still

be useful for everyday low-voltage tasks. Berlin-based start-

up SunCrafter upcycles retired solar panels to create off-

grid power stations, which can be used to charge phones,

scooters, and power other low-voltage mobile devices.

Christian NGOs Youth with a Mission and Working for the

Son Solar use decommissioned panels to help build solar

microgrids that generate and store electricity for areas with

no power in more than 20 countries.

allocated HK$100 million towards the development of smart

bins in residential areas through the scheme “Supporting

Residential Buildings in Adopting Smart Bins Technology

in Food Waste Collection and Recycling”. According to

the relevant Guidance Notes published by the Recycling

Fund, these smart bins will use computer software for user

identification and smart sensors to measure and track food

waste being thrown away by each individual resident. This is

done with the goal of promoting better separation of waste

and raising awareness among residents on the importance of

recycling food waste. The data collected by the smart bins

will be useful for recyclers to determine optimal collection

times and routes that yield productive waste loads.

Reverse Vending Machine

Speaking of tracking individual recycling habits, one project

the EPD has been experimenting with for the last 10 years is

the Reverse Vending Machine (RVM). Now in its third iteration,

the RVM system is packed with a variety of smart features

and now accepts metal and paper recyclables, in addition

to plastic. Using a smart weight detector, the system can

identify and reject plastic bottles with liquid contents in them.

A material compressor and capacity alert system increases

storage and collection efficiency, the latter of which

automatically alerts relevant authorities when the machine

is nearly full. A mobile app also allows users to track their

contributions and receive redeemable rewards, which is

a key incentive to encourage the public to use these

machines. Finally, real-time recycling data is uploaded to the

cloud from all machines across Hong Kong, giving researchers

insight into what is being recycled in correlation to where

and when. Placement of these machines will target primarily

residential areas to encourage hassle-free recycling of

household wastes.

Outreach campaigns by the Environmental Protection DepartmentWhile having the best recycling technologies at our disposal

would surely be an advantage, the root of the problem

lies further up the recycling chain - in other words, people

and their wasteful habits. That is why outreach campaigns,

especially those organised by the EPD, are so crucial in the

fight to combat our waste problem. However, teaching the

public about the importance of recycling is something far

from new, having been attempted in the past by countless

Government and NGO initiatives alike.

Solar panels are primarily composed of glass, plastic, and aluminum that can be recycled

Organic waste recovery

Organic waste is not one that immediately comes to mind

when one thinks of recyclable materials. Located in Siu Ho

Wan, North Lantau, O · PARK1 is one such recycling facility

that converts organic waste into electrical power. It does so

by processing up to 200 tonnes of organic matter a day into

compost products and biogas, the latter of which can be

used to generate electricity. The process is also able to filter

out impurities such as glass, metal, stone, sand, plastic bag

fragments and other over-sized contaminants over 16mm in

size. Construction of O · PARK2 is currently underway, which

will be designed to process up to 300 tonnes of organic waste

each day - a small but hopeful fraction of the 3,600 tonnes of

food waste being sent to our landfills every day.

To ensure this food waste even gets to the relevant recycling

facilities, the Hong Kong Government’s Recycling Fund has

Renewable or recycled materials are one of the key ways to reduce the overuse of disposable tableware

Fortunately, a recent push by the EPD however has shown

much promise - the new “Recycling Stores” being one such

glowing example. These Recycling Stores aim to incentivise

recycling by providing the public with a convenient location

to bring recyclable waste while rewarding individual

contributions. Every resident who brings a minimum of 2 kg of

recyclable goods can turn them in at designated facilities and

earn points (Greeny Coins) on a GREEN$ smart card. These

points can then be redeemed for everyday-use items, as well

as many sustainably-made goods such as bamboo tissues

and recycled plastic bags. As noted by Dr Yau Wing-kwong in

a recent webinar on “Green Technology Opportunities amidst

the Plastic and Waste Problem during the Pandemic” hosted

by the HKIE, the first pilot store that opened in 2020 was very

well received by the public, with many recyclers even willing

to go the extra step to remove staples from books and ensure

their recyclables are fit for processing. There are now 22

recycling stores set up across 18 districts in Hong Kong, most

of which were gradually set up throughout Q1 of 2021.

Recycling Stations are also another crucial part of the

EPD’s public education campaign. On top of working

with nearby residential estates and companies to roll out

localised recycling programmes, educational activities such

as exhibitions, workshops and others are regularly held at

these recycling stations. As at October 2020, 7,000 tonnes of

recyclables have been collected across Hong Kong’s nine

Recycling Stations.

Finally, “Recycling Spots” have fulfilled the more grassroots

role of the EPD’s recycling outreach campaign. Since the

fourth quarter of 2020, over 100 recycling spots have been

set up at regular times near single blocks or buildings without

owner corporations (also known as “three nil buildings”).

This is to help reach out to those residents that may not have

easy access to waste separation facilities in the absence of

a managing entity. If these fresh pushes towards a green-

conscious society have proven anything, it is that Hong Kong

people are capable of learning recycling habits - be it for

hygienic reasons and, perhaps more importantly, our future

generations won’t have to suffer our wasteful consequences.

From waste collection to recycling and all the detailed

processes in between, many ways exist through which

engineering talents and technologies can be applied

to enhance efficiency. While cities may possess different

strengths in promoting sustainability awareness and practice,

one aspect we certainly do not lack here in Hong Kong

is technological capability. We have what it takes, and

hopefully, through funding schemes such as the Recycling

Scheme and the Green Technology Fund, we can pool

our financial and intellectual resources together to make a

cleaner Hong Kong, pandemic or not.

LETTER TO

THE ED

ITOR

Letter to the EditorDear Editor

I am glad to learn about the achievements in the

application of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)

from the Cover Story in Hong Kong Engineer of January

2021 (Volume 49). However, in my opinion, the concept

of Modular Construction has not been presented in a

balanced manner.

The article has used the terms “MiC” and “Modular

Construction” interchangeably, creating the impression

that both are the same. In fact that is not the case. Modular

Construction represents a family of solutions that embraces

off-site manufacturing and on-site assembly. On the other

hand, MiC, which mandates the use of freestanding

volumetric modules manufactured off-site according to the

definition of the Development Bureau, is only one member

of the family.

According to a report titled “Modular Construction: From

projects to products” published by McKinsey & Company

in June 2019, Modular Construction “involves producing

standardised components of a structure in an off-site

factory, then assembling on site.” These components

can be three-dimensional (3D) volumetric units or

two-dimensional (2D) panels. While 3D volumetric solutions

involving fully-fitted units (ie MiC) maximise productivity

benefits, 2D panelised solutions (an analogy is the assembly

of Ikea furniture) optimise logistics in transport and storage.

There are advantages and limitations associated with

each approach. The report concludes that the specific

requirements, circumstances and constraints of a project

determine whether a 3D volumetric solution, a 2D panelised

solution, or a hybrid solution offers the best option. There is

no one-size-fits-all solution.

Today, Modular Construction represents a forest of

opportunities to the building industry. MiC is probably the

most eye-catching tree in this forest. While driving wider

application of MiC in Hong Kong, it is important for our

industry leaders to keep an open mind and not let the focus

on a big tree block the view of the lush forest behind it.

Yours truly

Ir Alan H L MAN

Fellow

Dear Editor,

I am grateful to you for forwarding the views of Ir Alan Man

about the Cover Story published in the January 2021 issue of

Hong Kong Engineer which is entitled “Modular Integrated

Construction for High-rise Buildings: Measured Benefits”

(DEVB et al., 2021), and would like to provide my responses

hereinafter.

First of all, let us get the concept fundamentally correct.

MiC was developed in Hong Kong building on the Modular

Construction (MC) approach which has been widely

adopted globally, while MiC emphasises the integration of

advanced manufacturing technologies into the

re-engineered building and construction processes

particularly for high-rise developments in high-density

contexts. As mentioned in the Cover Story, the concept of

MiC was defined by Pan and Hon (2018) as:

“a game-changing disruptively-innovative approach

to transforming fragmented site-based construction

of buildings and facilities into integrated value-driven

production and assembly of pre-finished modules with the

opportunity to realise enhanced quality, productivity, safety

and sustainability.”

The Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works)

No 2/2020 described MiC in a more concrete form as:

“a construction method whereby freestanding volumetric

modules with finishes, fixtures, fittings, furniture and building

services installation, etc manufactured off-site and then

transported to site for assembly.”

MC is the most advanced off-site construction technology

with three-dimensional units that enclose usable space and

are often prefinished. Various terminologies have been used

in different countries and regions for the MC approach,

with examples including “modular building” in the UK (Gibb

and Pendlebury, 2006), “permanent modular construction”

in the US (MBI, 2013), “Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric

Construction (PPVC)” in Singapore (BCA, 2017), and

of course “Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)” in

Hong Kong. There are subtle differences between these

terms, which are explained and illustrated in the Glossary

produced by the Centre for Innovation in Construction

and Infrastructure Development (CICID) of The University

of Hong Kong (HKU) (Pan et al., 2020). However, such

differences should not concern the adopters of MiC in

Hong Kong or MC in the global context. Nevertheless, there

is a fundamental difference between MiC or MC and

off-site construction. The latter is a term literally developed

to contrast with on-site construction, and covers a wide

spectrum of off-site technologies including MC. There

exist in market at least hundreds of off-site technologies,

components and systems manufactured and supplied by

thousands of factories. Prof Alistair Gibb and his team from

Loughborough University, UK developed a level system to

have categorised the many off-site technologies at four

levels (Gibb 1999; Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006), ie:

• Level 1 “component subassembly” (eg prefabricated

lintels),

• Level 2 “non-volumetric preassembly” (eg precast wall

panels),

• Level 3 “volumetric preassembly” (eg bathroom pods),

and

• Level 4 “complete buildings”.

For details one may refer to Prof Gibb’s seminal monograph

entitled “Off-site Fabrication: Prefabrication, Pre-assembly

and Modularisation” published in 1999 and Loughborough

University’s off-site glossary of terms published in 2006

(Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006). One may further refer to

the Glossary of MiC produced by the CICID of HKU in 2020

(Pan et al., 2020), which expands the off-site construction

terms to also cover MiC as well as smart construction in line

with the global trend of the construction industry towards

modularisation and digitalisation.

However, despite the well-established body of knowledge

of MiC, MC and off-site construction, there still exist

misunderstanding of individuals and organisations about

the terms. Ir Man brought forward the report published by

McKinsey & Company (2019). Although the term “modular

construction” is used in the title of that report with no reason

provided perhaps as an eye-catcher, many terms are

used in the report interchangeably with no definition or

description provided. The terms used in that report include:

“modular construction” (title and throughout), “modular

(or prefabricated) construction” (Page 1), “prefabricated

housing” (Page 1), “pre-fabricated components” (Page 5),

“prefabricated buildings” (Page 17), “industrial

construction” (Page 18), “offsite manufacturing” (Page 19),

“offsite construction” (Page 22), “offsite-produced

residential buildings” (Page 23), “modular prefabrication”

(Page 23), etc. In addition to the inconsistent and somehow

improper use of these terms, that report also wrongly states

“Terms such as offsite construction, prefabrication, and

modular construction are used interchangeably” (Page 7)

which should be corrected. What is illustrated in the figure

(Exhibit 2, Page 8) actually shows the spectrum of off-site

construction technologies, but not “modular construction”

incorrectly put in the figure caption. The body of literature

of off-site and MC should have been properly accessed to

avoid misunderstanding.

Next comes my response to the metaphors of “tree” and

“forest” given by Ir Man, although such response might be

considered no longer needed after the misunderstanding

becomes self-evident and demystified. Hong Kong has

witnessed a general high-speed development mode in

the past half a century. That was partly attributed to the

development and application of many innovations and

technologies such as precast concrete technology for

public housing development. This technology undoubtedly

contributed significantly to the housing supply in the city,

enjoying the cheap labour and policy support in the then

Pearl River Delta now called the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Nevertheless, sacrifices came along such as the loss or at

least insufficient retention of intellectual properties affiliated

with the reallocated manufacturing capabilities outside

Hong Kong and the lack of procurement bargaining power

due to the increasingly rigid supply chains, which are

coupled with the threats of the rising labour cost in the GBA

and the shifting focus of the manufacturing industry in the

GBA towards the domestic market driven by the national

“dual circulation” strategy. In particular, off-site construction

has been a national policy in recent years, inspiring a large

number of innovations and technologies for not only

off-site itself but also green and digital, widely perceived

to be leaving the counterpart practices in Hong Kong

well behind. MiC is a disruptive innovation developed in

Hong Kong and, despite its introduction only since 2017,

has already demonstrated its rich benefits for and vigorous

life in Hong Kong development. As of February 2021,

there had been 31 MiC systems granted with the Buildings

Department’s in-principle acceptance and dozens of MiC

projects completed or under planning, design or delivery

in Hong Kong. This is a competitive edge that the Hong


LETTER TO

THE ED

ITOR

Kong construction industry should firmly grasp and fully

capitalise on. Nevertheless, it is wise not to overstate MiC as a

panacea, now or ever. Different types of off-site construction

technologies at the four levels listed above have their own

merits and applicability, eg for buildings and infrastructures.

This is further elaborated below.

At the HKIE Building Division Annual Seminar on 8 April 2019

I had an opportunity to explain the relation between MiC

and off-site construction, eg that MiC is the highest level of

the off-site construction spectrum, hence game-changing

and disruptive rather than incremental (Pan, 2019). MiC

should be promoted to spearhead the innovation and

technology breakthrough and diffusion in Hong Kong

construction. Shortly after that on 28 May 2019, the

CICID of HKU launched the MiC Strategy Paper entitled

“Modularisation for Modernisation: A Strategy Paper

Rethinking Hong Kong Construction”, in which we defined

the three words of MiC as:

“The term ‘modular’ is defined herein as the process of

modularising fragmented site-based construction elements,

components and facilities to integrated prefinished modules

to best suit value-driven production and assembly, and

should not be simply understood as 3D volumetric modules

per se.

The term ‘integrated’ is defined herein as the process

of integrating different construction activities and

players in the vertical design and supply chains and of

integrating various functions and stakeholders in the lateral

institutional settings. The integrated process should reflect

the progressive approach to promoting MiC in various

construction sectors such as hostel, hotel and housing

in an appropriate roadmap to address their strengths,

weaknesses, opportunities and challenges. The integrated

process should also avoid regarding MiC as a technical

approach per se, but embrace it within the legislative,

economic, social, and technological contexts.

The term ‘construction’ is defined herein as the life cycle

based whole process covering planning, design, production,

construction, facility management, but not site construction

per se, so as to allow pre-site virtual building engaging BIM for

mitigated risks and post-site smart feedback engaging IoT for

enhanced accountability.” (Pan et al., 2019, Page 23)

With the definitions set forth above, the MiC approach

should easily find its solid ground in infrastructures too, and

open up new opportunities for various off-site construction

technologies.

Hong Kong construction has surely rich strengths but also

clear weaknesses, and golden opportunities but also

alarming threats, in the face of the changing climate of

the city itself, the GBA and globally. What is perceived as

“the lush forest” in Ir Man’s views might become a barren

land - not the “barren rock with hardly a house upon it”

remarked in the colonial history - but one with little inspiring

innovation which would certainly mismatch the highly

ranked infrastructure and development of the city. Thus,

here comes a golden time for us to fully embrace innovation

and technology spearheaded by MiC, and probably the

only time.

Last but not the least, I would like to reiterate the “MiC

Innovating Higher” model that covers the four themes of

“higher-rise, higher-density, higher-tech, and higher-co-

creation” for the future MiC development, which the HKIE

Building Division offered me to present at its Annual Seminar

in 2019. This model became the theme of the International

Conference on MiC organised on 27 August 2019 and

honoured by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR. It is good to

“keep an open mind” but only when there is yet any focal

point. However, clearly now we have got one, and needed

is MiC to spearhead at full pace.

Development of green hydrogen: The key to viable carbon-free economy

By Ir Billy CHEUNG

People were certainly haunted by the explosive hydrogen image of the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. Since then, use of hydrogen (based on fossil fuels, steam methane reformation or gasifi cation of coal or lignite) had been confi ned to industrial feedstock. However, green hydrogen produced by renewables via electrolysis and water molecules splitting is now emerging as a viable green fuel globally.

In accordance with the Paris Agreement, the global economy must be fully scaled up to green technology to achieve net zero carbon emission by 2050. In this regard, migration from a hydrocarbon-based energy to a green hydrogen economy is crucial. Many countries in Europe, Asia and North America have recently issued green hydrogen roadmaps and strategies as well as commitment to broaden investment into green hydrogen solutions.

On the other hand, the decline of solar and wind energy costs (the global Levelised Cost of Electricity for wind and solar has been reduced by 0.35 - 0.39 HK$/kWh from 2009 to 2017, representing 67% - 86% reduction) with associated advantages, has signifi cantly boosted green hydrogen production which requires a massive expansion of

renewable generation to power the electrolysis plants that split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The production of green hydrogen also helps to solve the intermittency issue that plagues wind and solar power, with effi cient storage.

Moreover, green hydrogen and fuel cell (reversing electrolysis process) technologies have been signifi cantly upgraded in terms of effi ciency, durability, reliability, and affordability since the last fuel cell boom in the early 2000s. As such, green hydrogen is taking off around the globe. Global transition towards electric mobility solutions has also paved way for adoption of green hydrogen to provide solutions for long-range zero-emission applications. While wind and solar energy can provide electricity for buildings and vehicles, green hydrogen could be an ideal power source for energy-intensive industries including hard-to-electrify sectors, long-haul trucking, aviation and heavy manufacturing.

In Hong Kong, the Chief Executive announced the objective of carbon neutrality by 2050 during the Policy Address in November 2020. In the current context of regional green fi nance and investment momentum, developing green hydrogen is a great opportunity and the best choice for a carbon-free economy in Hong Kong. Therefore, the Government, in concerted action with stakeholders, needs to urgently formulate green hydrogen strategy. This should include wider use of renewables on many outlying islands and incentives for commercial electrolyser fuel cell products.

創新‧成‧蛻變), with the aims of strengthening the network

between the engineering industry and stakeholders of the

Innovation and Technology (I&T) ecosystem within the

region as well as around the globe; and revitalising the

innovation process and generating opportunities through the

collaborations between the engineering innovators, potential

investors and stakeholders.

As the prelude to the HKIE Innovation Expo 2021, a series

of webinars would be organised under the Expo starting

from March 2021. We were pleased to invite a veteran

environmentalist and energy conservation consultant, Dr Yau

Wing-kwong, JP, Chief Executive of Environmental Association,

to deliver the first webinar on “green” waste management

innovation.

Coincidently, the Institution was invited by the World

Federation of Engineering Organisation (WFEO) to celebrate

the World Engineering Day (WED), ie 4th March in each year

since 2020, coordinated by the United Nations Educational,

Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). As to support

the WED, the webinar by Dr Yau had been simultaneously

submitted to WFEO by the Institution for registration as one of

the celebration events of the WED.

Held on 5 March 2021, the webinar, entitled “Green

technology opportunities amidst the plastic and waste

problem during the pandemic”, was presented by Dr Yau,

which was well received with enthusiastic responses from

participants across different boundaries including Australia,

Macau SAR, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United States.

Dr Yau started the webinar by indicating the rising

consumption of petroleum products during the pandemic

and the resulting waste disposal problem. He then expatiated

on the countermeasures to alleviate the landfill saturation

in Hong Kong including innovative waste collection

and separation methods with the goal to minimise the

transportation risk involving medical wastes as well as to

reduce the logistics cost by compressing the municipal waste

volume in local waste treatment plants.

to both HKIE and non-HKIE members. The webinar was divided

into three parts which consisted of presentations respectively

from Ir Chu and Ms Duan followed by a question-and-answer

session towards the end.

Ir Chu kicked off the first part of the presentation by describing

today’s emerging mobility trends. She pointed out that traffic

jams have been a problem for the entire world. Supporting

data shows that commuters spend an average of 100 hours

a year stuck in traffic. As urban mobility is changing rapidly,

it is simply not feasible to keep constructing new roads and

highways endlessly to cope with the increasing demand.

Therefore, she suggested that there will be a need for

convergence of key technologies as well as a change in

social attitudes. She stated that some global mega trends

such as increasing automation, digital connectivity and the

shared economy could potentially contribute to an intelligent

mobility ecosystem.

Speakers and OC members

Several topics including the safety precautions for work

on low voltage installation (Code 4G), provisions for Arc

Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) (Code 6B(1)), final circuit

requirements for Universal Serial Bus (USB) outlets (Code

6F), renewable energy power installations (Code 26P),

charging facilities for electrical vehicles (Code 26S) and

Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) (Code 26T) etc were

presented.

Ir Sze also introduced Module 3 of the Continuing Professional

Development Scheme for Registered Electrical Worker (REW)

on a voluntary basis. After that, Ir Yee further explained the

major changes of the latest CoP through practical approach

and implementation.

Ir Yee highlighted the step-by-step working procedures for

electrical installation work before and inside false ceilings

with a tailor-made Task-specific Risk Assessment Checklist and

different scenarios. He also introduced the importance of

AFDDs, the particular requirements for the installation of USB

outlets, the reasons behind the changes in Earth Fault Loop

Impendence, and update on the change of conduit factors

etc.

After the presentation, a question-and-answer session was

chaired by Mr Keith Chung. Participants actively interacted

in the fruitful discussions. On behalf of the Organising

Committee, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to

Ir Chu further elaborated on the concept of smart mobility,

and naming the strategies which are being proposed for ITS

Management in Hong Kong. She introduced initiatives like the

free-flow tolling system in 2024, real-time adaptive traffic signal

system and crowd management system at Kai Tak Sports Park

to visualise how they could be realistically implemented in the

near future.

She also discussed strategies for public transport including

Environmentally Friendly Linkage System (ELFS) and walking

aspects as one of the most recent technologies such as smart

payment street parking meters. She concluded her part with

some key considerations for the future of mobility.

Ms Lian highlighted how new mobility in cities could be

realised as she took the audience through the basics of the

levels of vehicle autonomy. Autonomous and electric vehicles

are key players in the transformation of mobility since they

could bring several benefits to cities.

She emphasised that although the new mobility system is

mainly driven by technologies, new technologies could be

the solutions themselves. There should be an integrated and

user-centric design approach when it comes to adopting

technologies so that they satisfy the needs of the public in

a sustainable manner. Ms Lian then finished off her part of the

presentation with the provision of data insights and revenue

generation opportunities for new cities.

A technical seminar on the captioned topic was co-organised

by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), the HKIE Civil

Division and HKIHT on the evening of 3 February 2021.

Prof Yuhong Wang from the Department of Civil and

Environmental Engineering of the PolyU was invited to be

the speaker for the sharing session. Prof Wang’s current main

research projects and interests lie in future urban green and

intelligent infrastructures that aim to make our cities cleaner,

smarter, more resilient, and more environmentally friendly.

He is currently leading two major research projects in these

areas, one of which is the development of smart pavement

systems. The seminar was conducted live on Zoom and was

accessible to the public. The webinar consisted of two parts:

the presentation from Prof Wang and a subsequent question-

and-answer session.

Prof Wang started his presentation by introducing his research

team and acknowledging the sponsors of his research. He

pointed out that pavements and roofs constitute over 60%

of urban surfaces. He then shared some problems relating to

current urban pavements which include structure durability,

surface durability and the unique constraints on construction

methods in the urban environment.

Prof Wang then moved onto discussing the concept of

smart mobility. He described smart mobility as the first of the

six major development areas that have been identified for

smart cities that aim to develop more efficient, convenient

and environmentally friendly transport systems by adopting

innovation information and communication technologies.

He proposed a solution to the problems of urban pavements

which would adopt prefabricated structures built on the

principles of automatic prefabrication and construction.

Prof Wang also highlighted the key features of the

prefabricated pavement. An integrated porous pavement

system is demonstrated to allow surface water to be diverted

in order to avoid water stagnation. He also listed out the

tests that could be done to ensure the performance and

resistance of the proposed prefabricated pavement.

He concluded the seminar with various future directions and

perspectives which would potentially improve the current

pavement product.

Seminar on deep learning demystified By Ms Monica LEUNG

Webinar technical talk on science and technology of battery fire safetyBy Ir Angus WONG

On 23 November 2020, the HKIE Electronics Division (EN) was

glad to invite Dr Charles Cheung, Senior Data Scientist and

Deputy Director of the NVIDIA AI Technology Center HK, to

give a webinar titled “Deep Learning Demystified” at the HKIE

Headquarter. More than 100 participants enjoyed insights on

how to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real life applications.

Dr Cheung started the seminar by introducing machine

learning. There are three types of machine learning:

supervised learning, reinforcement learning and unsupervised

learning.

• Supervised learning uses a training set to teach models to

yield the desired output. The goal is to correctly label new

data with a set of labelled training data.

• Reinforcement learning is learning best actions based on

reward or punishment. The system receives feedback for

its actions, and the goal is to perform better actions.

• Unsupervised learning uses machine learning algorithms

to analyse and cluster unlabelled datasets. The goal is to

categorise the observations.

Next, Dr Cheung explained the theory and features of deep

learning. Deep learning is part of machine learning methods

The HKIE Fire Division successfully delivered the first

international webinar on the captioned topic in collaboration

based on artificial neural networks with representation

learning.

Last but not least, Dr Cheung talked about the application

development of deep learning using the NVIDIA platform.

He illustrated examples of how AI can be applied in different

areas, such as intelligent video analytics, finance, healthcare,

security, and autonomous vehicles.

AI will present new opportunities and capabilities to improve

the human experience. We believe that every company

should be exploring the technology.

Logistics & Transportation

Minimising loss from car accidents by applying Big Data Analytics to your vehicle network By Ms Joyce WONG and Ir Carmen CHU

There are around 16,000 traffic accidents occur in Hong Kong

every year. Public buses, public light buses and taxis are the

three most accident-prone vehicle types while the top two

driver contributory factors to traffic accidents are “driving

inattentively” and “driving too close to the vehicle in front”,

according to statistics provided by the Hong Kong Police

Force.

In this webinar Mr Antonio Wong, CEO and Co-founder

of Greensafety Technology Ltd, shared with us how the

implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data

Analytics and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) could offer real-time

warnings and precautions to drivers to avoid accidents, and

also identify potential road safety black spots for reporting to

the government and other road users.

Mr Wong shared with us his experience of working with The

Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (KMB) and other corporations to install

on-board systems and safety measures such as Advanced

Driver Assist System and Distraction Detection System to

provide real-time alerts for drivers at service.

The Advanced Driver Assist System can accurately calculate

the speed of vehicles and the distance to the preceding

objects on the road, using the principles of triangulation

and depth sensing. With the assistance of video analytics,

combined with signals and monitored steering speeds, the

system can activate the alarms (or seat vibration) in the

vehicle to alert the drivers that there is an insufficient safety

distance to the objects ahead and record a 10-second

Through the webinar, Prof Rein raised our awareness of

Lithium- ion battery fire safety and gave the webinar

audience a better understanding of Li-ion fires to encourage

innovation and better solutions.

Mr Antonio Wong, CEO and Co-founder, Greensafety Technology Ltd

LIB is an important technology for the present and future

of energy storage, transport, and consumer electronics.

However, many types of LIB display a tendency to ignite or

release gases. Although statistically rare, LIB fires pose hazards

which are significantly different to other fire hazards in terms

of the initiation route, rate of spread, duration, toxicity, and

suppression.

video with spatial information for further investigation of any

incidents and black spots reporting.

The Distraction Detection System (or called Drowsiness

Monitoring System) can be adopted to detect the level of

alertness of a driver by using image-processing technology

and AI- based facial patterns.

An online platform gathers the fleet performance data

and provides a visual performance dashboard of identified

potential road safety black spots to allow stakeholders to take

preventive measures and actions before accidents occur.

The webinar was organised on 29 January 2021 and attracted

over 110 members. The audience found the webinar fruitful

by learning how the latest technology could safeguard and

enhance road safety.

Volunteer service - Partner reading with underprivileged children By Mr Keith LEUNG and Mr Tim CHO

It is said that stories can ignite the imagination and curiosity

of children, which is important. The saying proved to be true

at the storytelling workshop “童心同行伴讀計劃” of the Young

Women Christian Association (YWCA), which was full of

laughter and happiness, held on 30 October 2020 during

a Zoom meeting jointly organised by the Mechanical, Marine,

Naval Architecture and Chemical Committee.

The event started with an interactive presentation on the

duties of an engineer. This deepened the understanding of

both the children and their parents’ and aroused their interest

towards engineering.

Then the committee held a storytelling session (Book: Strange

Tales from Pu Songling). The children were invited to role-play

the characters and narrate the story. The children actively

contributed and presented a very interesting plot. Through

this session, mutual learning between the volunteers and the

children was achieved.

Later, the volunteers were divided into three sub-groups to

play games with the children. As part of the activities, the

volunteers were able to build a harmonious relationship and

team spirit with the children. The event ended with a song

and dance performance by the children.

Despite the online nature of the workshop, both volunteers

and children found the event so satisfying and fruitful that

they didn’t want to say goodbye until the last minute.

The event was very rewarding. Volunteers learned a lot from

the interaction with children. It is hoped that more helping

hands and care could be provided to underprivileged

children.

Hence, you are earnestly invited to join us and share your love

with people in need in the coming activities!

a précis of carbonation which is a key issue in durability

design.

The second part was on the modelling service life in

structural design and assessment. Dr Zhou presented various

approaches to durability design including “Deemed to

Satisfy”, “Avoidance of Deterioration”, “Full Probabilistic

Modelling”, “Partial Factors” and “Partial Probabilistic

Modelling”. With regard to durability modelling, Dr Zhou

introduced the first, second and third generations of

analytical/numerical models for chloride diffusion and

carbonation. He also provided application examples for

service life design and residual life estimation.

The third part was on the effects of cracks on concrete

durability. Dr Zhou discussed various causes of concrete

cracking, the effects of crack opening on chloride diffusion,

carbonation, reinforcement corrosion and service life as

revealed from experimental studies in the literature as well as

project examples in real life, and codified provisions on crack

width limits.

The fourth part was on thermal modelling and crack analysis.

Dr Zhou presented the mechanisms of thermal and shrinkage

crack formation, numerical modelling of temperature

distribution and thermal stresses in concrete structures with

variable thickness, mix proportions, raw materials, placing

temperature, ambient conditions, movement restraints,

formwork/insulation and cooling pipe systems, crack analysis

and control measures, and project examples.

The inspiring seminar and webinar ended with a vibrant

question-and-answer session. On behalf of the MT Division

and all the participants, we would like to thank Dr Zhou for his

informative and impressive presentation.

Safety Specialist Committee

Seminar on how safety works in two independent lift cars operating in one shaftBy Ir Kevin MAN

The captioned technical seminar was jointly organised by the

Building Services (BS) Division and Safety Specialist Committee

(SSC) successfully on 21 January 2021. Dr Andy Chan, CEO of

South East Asia thyssenkrupp Elevator (HK) Ltd, was invited to

share his experiences on the application of TWIN lifts and their

related safety.

With the challenges of urbanisation and the transformation of

cities into the best places to live, the demand for efficient and

user-friendly people moving solutions are becoming more

important than ever.

The TWIN solution presented by Dr Chan substantially

increases the capacity of vertical transportation in buildings

used to having just single or double deck lift car solutions. The

TWIN solution works even more efficiently for buildings with lots

of inter-floor traffic like hospitals, government buildings, offices

with single tenants or those demand for frequent inter-floor

operations; and so forth.

The emergence of the TWIN solution reminds us and our fellow

engineers that “sky is the limit” for our creativity that may one

day turn into innovations that can benefit the community. Presentation of appreciation certificate to Dr Chan by Chairman of SSC and Chairman of BS Division

Young Members Committee

Pursuing success in public relations - An introduction to becoming an effective facilitatorBy Mr Alvin K W SZE

As engineers, we often meet with people from different

backgrounds, and we also have to organise public

engagements and consultation events to obtain views from

the community.

On 20 February 2021, the Young Members Committee (YMC)

and the Continuing Professional Development Committee

(CPDC) jointly organised the captioned workshop. Ms Laura

Cozijnsen, Founder of Lighthouse Consultant Limited, was

invited to deliver the webinar.

In the first session, the role of facilitator was introduced.

Ms Cozijnsen consolidated the duties of a facilitator, including

(1) keeping an energetic voice to motivate participants,

(2) asking appropriate questions to guide the discussion,

(3) smiling all the time, bridge-building and interacting with

participants, (4) sensing the atmosphere of the events through

the response of participants, and (5) task-making to ensure all

objectives are covered . By making use of polling and chat

box, she demonstrated how to adopt the functions of online

meeting tools to encourage interaction in a virtual meeting.

For the second session, the fundamental skills of being

an effective facilitator were delivered. Among the skills,

she emphasised the importance of first impressions, as it

happens with just a glance and the impression will stay in the

audience’s mind.

To make a good first impression, she highlighted the key

factors, including aggressiveness, competence, confidence

and trustworthiness, etc. In addition, she demonstrated

the use of body language, verbal skills, and the power of

language to engage the participants, like using “we” instead

of “you” and using positive words instead of negative words.

Also, during virtual meeting, the camera should capture our

face and hands, so we can make good use of our body

language.

For the last session, suggestions on asking good questions

were covered. There may be a question-and-answer session

at the end of an event or a session. A good question should

be on topic and relevant to the speaker’s experiences or

interests. Also, open-ended follow-up questions can be asked

to ignite a new conversation.

This workshop served as an introductory course on being an

effective facilitator, and will surely help young members to

host meetings and events in their daily work.

the evening and Ir F C Chan as the Table Topics Master.

Ir Chan initiated an interactive Table Topics Session, and invited

the audience to share the challenges they faced and the skills

they learned when managing engineering projects. The topics

also covered the legal responsibilities of engineers, document

traceability as well as communication skills with various project

stakeholders.

Obituary

In memory of Ir Dr NIP Kam Fan

The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers expresses deep

sorrow over the passing away of Ir Dr Nip Kam Fan in

Vancouver, Canada on 13 March 2021 at the age of

88.

Ir Dr Nip obtained his BSc degree in civil engineering

with first-class honours awarded by The University of

Hong Kong in 1956. As a distinguished pioneer in traffic

engineering, Ir Dr Nip took a vital role in developing

systematic traffic and transport planning in Hong Kong

in the 1960’s. He was instrumental in the setting up of

the Traffic and Transport Survey Division in the former

Public Works Department.

Ir Dr Nip was also a forerunner in urban planning and

development. He instigated public consultation in

the planning of major urban construction initiatives

and this had later become a standard practice in

pursuing urban development. As head of the Urban

Areas Development Office, he adapted the new

town project management system in spearheading

development projects in the urban areas and this had

culminated to the transformation of the New Territories

Development Department to eventually become

Territory Development Department. During his tenure

as the Director of Engineering Development, Director

of Civil Engineering Services, and later Director of the

Territory Development from 1989 until his retirement

in 1992, he had made profound contributions to the

urbanisation of Hong Kong.

After his retirement, Ir Dr Nip continued to serve the

society in a variety of ways. The development of the

infrastructure of the Haven of Hope Hospital was one of

the remarkable exemplars of Ir Dr Nip’s contributions to

the community.

Ir Dr Nip was a person who endeavoured tirelessly

in pursuit of knowledge. Together with his first BSc

degree in Civil Engineering and two Honorary

Fellowship Degrees, he had also obtained a total of

ten degrees including one Doctoral Degree and two

Master’s Degrees, in a wide spectrum of intellectual

areas including humanities, science, Mathematics,

Economics, religion in addition to engineering.

Ir Dr Nip served the HKIE as the Chairman to the Training

Review Sub-Committee from 1996 to 2001. Whilst the

Institution is greatly indebted to Ir Dr Nip for his long

years of service to the Institution, his contributions to

nurturing young talents for the engineering profession

and the development of Hong Kong, we would like to

offer our deepest condolences to his family.

Corporate Members are required to complete and return an annual CPD Declaration Form together with the membership subscription advice to the Institution. A random checking, usually 1% sampling, on all Corporate Members, will be conducted on an annual basis. Members who are selected for checking will be asked to submit their evidences of CPD.

The following actions shall be taken in case of non-compliance:1. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD

requirement in the first year selected for sampling will be asked to submit their records again in the following year;

2. Warning letters will be issued to Corporate Members who fail to comply in two consecutive years. The HKIE Continuing Professional Development Committee (CPDC) will also follow up with those Corporate Members on the reasons of 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 HKIE CPDC Representative(s);

Visited East Rail Line new signalling system and nine-car trainsOn 4 February 2021, together with some other LegCo Members, I visited East Rail Line to understand design features of the new nine-car trains. On 6 February 2021, the new signal system and new trains of the East Rail Line of the MTR Corporation were put into operation.

Raised a question on members of public flocking to countryside amid epidemicAt the Council meeting on 3 February 2021, I raised a question on members of public flocking to countryside amid epidemic. Due to the number of visitors to the countryside has been increasing incessantly, there are concerns on public health and hygiene problems such as the spread of the epidemic disease and the accumulation of rubbish left by visitors. For my question and Government’s reply, please visit the website at https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/ 202102/03/P2021020300480.htm?fontSize=3

Funding projects approved in the PWSC and the FCOn 24 February 2021, the Public Works Subcommittee (PWSC) approved a funding request of HK$2.5 billion for site formation and infrastructure works for public housing developments at Tseung Kwan O. The projects together with the others would be forwarded to the Finance Committee (FC) for final funding approval.

On 19 February 2021, the FC approved an additional funding of HK$1.5 billion to cover the cost of the works required for the design and construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Main Bridge. Another allocation of HK$0.2 billion was approved to enhance the existing facilities of the Public Health Laboratory Centre.

Urged the Government to conduct a comprehensive transportation strategy studyAt the Chief Executive (CE) question-and-answer session on 5 February 2021, I asked the CE if the Government will speed up implementation of the seven new railway projects in a way that infrastructure drives community development. For my question and Government’s reply, please visit the website at https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202102/04/P2021020400506.htm

Visited the M+ Museum construction site in the West Kowloon Cultural DistrictOn 11 February 2021, together with the CE and Government officials, I visited the construction site of the M+ Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District to learn more about the anti-epidemic measures implemented by the contractor at the site. The measures include body temperature checks and the presentation of negative virus test results at the entrance, as well as the adoption of social distancing and cleaning and disinfection measures at the canteen and workers’ rest areas. The construction site also takes part in the testing programme rolled out by the Construction Industry Council and the Hong Kong Construction Association, in which a private testing agency has been

Responses to the Budget 2021-22The Financial Secretary delivered the Budget 2021-22 on 24 February 2021. I am pleased that the Budget had adopted many of the suggestions of mine, in particular those regarding HK$5,000 electronic consumption vouchers, providing subsidy for Real Estate Investment Trusts to list in Hong Kong, subsidising drainage repair works in old buildings, reviving local group tours, etc.

arranged to provide a specimen collection service for workers at construction sites.

Urged the Government to relax cross border travel with vaccination record On 23 February 2021, together with some other members from LegCo and the business sector, I urged the Government to allow holders of certifications of negative result of the nucleic acid test on COVID-19 after vaccination to be exempted from compulsory quarantine when they travel from Hong Kong to the Mainland. The “Vaccination Pass” can provide incentives for Hong Kong citizens to participate in the vaccination programme, and help restart economic and trade flow between two places.

Visited the Ocean Park Together with other members of the Panel on Economic Development, I visited the Ocean Park on 20 February 2021 to better understand the proposed way forward of the Park. We visited the existing facilities of the lower park area and upper park area including Aqua City Lagoon and Ocean Park Tower. We were briefed on the proposed way forward of the Park as well as the financial arrangements. The group also visited the Water World, which will open this summer, to learn about its features.
