Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor
The cover of Volume 48 (May 2020 issue) of your journal
features a photo of an anchored man-made slope covered
with an extensive system of grid beams and concrete
surface, without any hint of slope greening. This photo is not
representative of the conditions of upgraded man-made
slopes in Hong Kong and may give a false impression that
slope upgrading works turn man-made slopes into eyesores
and cause adverse visual impact.
One of the HKSAR Government’s priorities in upgrading
man-made slopes, as mentioned in the Cover Story of
that issue, is to make the upgraded slopes look as natural
as possible by state-of-the-art landscape treatment.
According to the Technical Guidelines promulgated by
the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Civil
Engineering and Development Department, native flora
should be planted on upgraded slopes to create a more
visually pleasing and sustainable slope environment.
Depending on the slope gradient, different types of native
flora including trees, shrubs, grass and climbers should
be planted as far as practicable to enhance the slope
aesthetics, ecology and biodiversity. As highlighted in the
Cover Story of that issue, government slopes upgraded
under the GEO's Landslip Prevention and Mitigation
Programme are in compliance with this guideline. There are
plenty of successful cases of greening of upgraded slopes
around Hong Kong. Notable examples include the greening
and upgrading of an unsightly bare slope along Bowen
Road overlooking urban Hong Kong, and the enhancement
Response to Ir Maureen Ng
Thank you for sharing with us and readers the latest
development on slope upgrading works in Hong Kong.
In response to your enquiry on the slope featured in the
cover of the May 2020 issue, it is in fact a generic visual used
to capture "landslip prevention" in a purely communication
perspective as suggested by the cover design house, who
also advised that no information regarding the location
of where the stock photo was taken was available. The

The cover photo of the concerned issue, which features
an unsightly upgraded man-made slope covered with
concrete without any greening, is not representative of
the actual condition in Hong Kong. Where was this photo
taken? We are interested to know. We suspect that the
cover photo might have been selected from a professional
creative perspective with a view to offering a better artistic
expression and stimulating the interest of readers. However,
this photo can also mislead readers to associate upgraded
man-made slopes in Hong Kong with massive concrete
structures without greening measures, which is far from
the truth. While we would like to express our concern with
respect to the above, as it is a Cover Story, we expect that
the communication would be improved in the future.

By the Development Bureau and the Architectural
Services Department of the HKSAR Government,
the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks
Corporation, and the Centre for Innovation in
Construction and Infrastructure Development of
The University of Hong Kong
This article provides an overview of the benefits
of modular integrated construction (MiC) in
comparison with the conventional construction
method for projects. It also illustrates how MiC can
contribute in tackling the challenges, such as ageing
workforce, declining productivity, high construction
costs, etc, being faced by the construction industry
in Hong Kong.
10 January 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer
From the analysis of the two high-rise pilot projects, it is
demonstrated that the adoption of MiC in future building
projects can achieve at least 10% cost saving, 30% to 50%
shortening in on-site superstructure construction to occupation1,
on-site labour productivity improved by 100% to over 400%,
higher construction quality, better site safety performance
and enhanced environmental sustainability etc. As reiterated
in the 2020 Policy Address, the HKSAR Government will
continue to promote the use of MiC proactively for
a wider adoption in order to uplift the performance of the
construction industry.
Challenges faced by the
construction industry
We have been facing severe challenges including ageing
workforce, declining productivity, high construction costs,
etc. These challenges are evidenced by the statistics, such
as more than half of skilled construction workers are aged
50 or above, the declining construction output per worker,
and building construction costs ranked among the top three
worldwide (DEVB, 2018; Pan et al, 2019). To tackle these
challenges and to uplift the performance of the construction
industry, the Chief Executive announced in the 2017 Policy
Address the adoption of MiC with a view to enhancing
productivity and cost-effectiveness. Since then, the HKSAR
Government promotes wider adoption of MiC through pilot
projects. Commissioned by the Development Bureau (DEVB)
of the HKSAR Government, the Centre for Innovation in
Construction and Infrastructure Development (CICID) of The
University of Hong Kong (HKU) conducted a study on the
performances of two high-rise MiC pilot projects, to assess the
benefits of this innovative construction method in Hong Kong.
MiC
Modular construction is the most advanced off-site
construction technology with three-dimensional units that
enclose usable space and are often prefinished. The modular
construction approach has been widely adopted globally,
albeit various terminologies have been used in different
countries or regions as explained and illustrated in the Glossary
published by the HKU (Pan et al, 2020a). Examples of that
include “prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction
(PPVC)” in Singapore (BCA, 2017), “modular building” in
the UK (Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006), “permanent modular
construction” in the US (MBI, 2013). The worldwide adoption
of the modular approach has demonstrated its wide-ranging
benefits such as accelerated project delivery, enhanced
construction quality and productivity (for details please refer
to the strategy paper published by the HKU - Pan et al, 2019).

In Hong Kong, the modular approach has been adopted
under the term of MiC, which builds on the modular
construction approach but emphasises the integration of
advanced manufacturing technologies into the re-engineered
building and construction processes. 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.”
In addition, the DEVB Technical Circular (Works) No 2/2020
defines MiC 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.”
As MiC changes the project delivery process relative to
conventional construction practices, it is important to
systematically understand its performances.
High-rise MiC projects measured
The Disciplined Services Quarters for the Fire Services
Department (FSD), the HKSAR Government at Pak Shing Kok
project (PSKDQ) by the Architectural Services Department
(ArchSD), the HKSAR Government (Figure 1 left) is a staff
quarters development in Tseung Kwan O comprising four
16-storey blocks and one 17-storey block. The typical floor of
each block was constructed using 46 concrete modules to
form eight dwelling units, with size of about 50 sq m each. In
total, the project provides 648 dwelling units, and comprising
3,726 modules that were prefabricated in Huizhou, Mainland
COVER STORY
China, and then transported by land to the construction
site. The performance of this project was measured and
benchmarked against a similar ArchSD’s departmental
quarters project in Kwun Tong that adopted cast-in-situ
concrete method with typical precast building elements.
The InnoCell, a residential apartment developed by the Hong
Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP)
(Figure 1 right) of the Hong Kong Science Park, provides
co-living and co-working residence space within the park.
This 17-storey building provides 393 ensuite units with 418
steel-framed modules that were prefabricated in Jiangmen,
Mainland China and then transported by sea and land to
the construction site. The performance of this project was
measured and compared with a conventional scenario.
Systematic framework of KPIs
Key performance indicator (KPI) is a factor for measuring
the success of a project and specifies whether or not the
desired result was achieved. Following the MiC Performance
Measurement Guidebook (Pan et al 2020b) published by the
HKU, a systematic framework of KPIs was established and
adopted for measuring the performance of the two selected
projects.
The framework of KPIs is based on the triple-bottom-line
concept of sustainable development integrating the
economic, social, and environmental aspects of performance.
This framework includes 32 KPIs as detailed in Figure 2:
• There are 15 economic-aspect KPIs, which reflect the
direct and indirect costs of a project. The economic
efficiency of a project is defined as issues dealing with the
amount of money invested. For construction projects, the
integration of various inputs such as materials and labour
determines the economic value of completed buildings.
• There are ten social-aspect KPIs, which are concerned
with the impact on the needs of people and communities.
Figure 1: The PSKDQ (left) and
InnoCell (right) MiC projects
January 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer 11
COVER STORY

Social harmony in construction refers to the engagement
of employees, local communities, and stakeholders
along the supply chain to meet the needs of people and
communities.
• There are seven environmental-aspect KPIs, which
evaluate the environmental impact over the construction
life cycle. Environmental sustainability is one of the most
significant aspects of construction performance, which
consists of not only direct impact of the construction and
assembly process, but also the indirect impact from the
manufacturing of building materials and components.
The systematic framework of KPIs should be adaptable for
applications in other building sectors than staff quarters
and apartment buildings such as hostels, hotels, and office
buildings.
Measured benefits of MiC
The adoption of MiC in these two projects has demonstrated
substantial improvements in the economic efficiency with
ensured cost competitiveness, increased labour productivity,
enhanced construction quality, and accelerated construction
speed. It has also significantly fortified environmental
sustainability with reduced construction waste, pollution, and
energy consumption. Furthermore, impressive enhancements
in social harmony were observed resulting from the shortened
construction programme and enhanced safety performance.
The major benefits of MiC compared with the conventional
practices as demonstrated by the KPIs are summarised in
Table 1 and elaborated in the sections thereafter.
Ensured cost competitiveness
From project client’s point of view, the cost competitiveness
of MiC has been established by estimating the construction
cost savings as well as by establishing the overall economics
of the pilot projects.
The assessment using the two pilot cases showed significant
savings in construction costs. The estimated unit cost
of building works adopting MiC indicates a possible
cost reduction of around 6%2 for high-rise staff quarters
development constructed with concrete modules; and
around 7%2 for high-rise apartment development constructed
with steel modules, both compared with similar projects using
conventional practices.

The possible cost savings are mainly attributed to the following
areas:
• Reduction in number of on-site labour;
• Reduction in preliminaries resulting from the shortened
programme;
• Reduction in temporary works required such as formwork;
• Reduction in the number of material delivery trips;
• Reduction in on-site electricity and water consumption; and
• Enhanced construction quality with no rework or fewer
defects.
Projects adopting both concrete and steel MiC have
indicated advantages in cost competitiveness over their
conventional counterparts. First, this cost competitiveness is
evidenced in the cost neutrality that both projects have been
delivered without the need for the client to get any extra
budget approved originally for a conventional construction.
This achievement is remarkable as overseas experiences
showed a premium cost of adopting modular approaches in
the initial stage of implementation.
It is estimated that cost saving of at least 10% can be
achieved in future MiC projects, with the following
considerations:
• There should be about additional two-month time and
cost savings without the interruption of the COVID-19
pandemic.
• The two pilot MiC projects that changed from
conventional to modular design incurred additional
costs, which can be avoided in future MiC projects.
• The project teams have also gone through a learning
curve and engaged considerable research and
development investment.
• The design and construction costs will be further
reduced as professionals are increasingly skillful in
MiC design and the supply chain becomes better
established.
In addition to the construction cost, a project client is also
very much concerned about the overall financial benefit that
MiC can provide. One of the major benefits to the overall
project economics can be established by how much earlier
the projects have been ready for occupation in comparison
with conventional methods. For the PSKDQ project, with nine
months advance in anticipated occupation3, it is equivalent
to a financial benefit to FSD’s staff of more than HK$58 million
(being estimated saving in rental cost of at least HK$10,000
per month for each of these 648 households). For the
InnoCell project, with 14 months advance in occupation4, it
is estimated that the rental income generated for HKSTP will
be more than HK$44 million (being estimated rental cost of at
least HK$8,000 per month for each of these 393 units).
COVER STORY
Increased labour productivity
It was observed that only a few on-site workers were needed
for constructing a typical floor with the installation of
modules (Figure 3) leading to a significant increase in labour
productivity with the adoption of MiC.
• In PSKDQ, the on-site labour productivity for constructing
a typical floor improved by 100% as compared with the
cast-in-situ baseline.
• In InnoCell, on-site labour productivity was observed to be
over 400% as compared with the conventional scenario.
Figure 3: Fast
installation of
modules
The significant increase in labour productivity in adopting
MiC shed light on addressing the challenge of ageing
workforce which has been facing by the Hong Kong
construction industry.
Accelerated construction speed
The adoption of MiC could accelerate the project delivery
process, largely as a result of the concurrent module
production in the factory (Figure 4) and foundation works
on site. In conventional construction, the floor cycle refers to
structural works only; while for MiC projects, the floor cycle
includes both structural and architectural works.
• In PSKDQ, a five-day cycle was achieved for constructing
a typical floor which included over 90% structural
and architectural works. As shown in the construction
programme, around nine months were saved for the
overall project development.
• In InnoCell, a two- to three-day cycle was achieved for
constructing a typical floor which included over 95%
structural works and architectural works. This is much faster
than the six-day floor cycle in conventional construction
which only covers structural works. As shown in the
construction programme, around 14 months were saved
by using MiC compared with the conventional scenario.
In addition to the significantly faster construction speed,
the adoption of MiC substantially reduces project delivery
risks like time variance caused by uncertainties such as
inclement weather. In the future, the time performance
using MiC should be further improved, as more time savings
are expected without the impact of COVID-19 and with
the valuable experience gained from the pilot projects.

Enhanced construction quality
The adoption of MiC contributed to the achievement of higher
construction quality with fewer defects, less rectification, and
minimised rework. The obtained results include:
COVER STORY
• In InnoCell, the air quality level was much improved due to
the 50% reduction in the levels of particulate matter (PM).

in the factory.
By ensuring well-controlled production in the factory and
reduced fragmentation in the site-based works, the use
of MiC can substantially reduce construction debris and
material wastage, resources such as water and electricity,
and pollution in both concrete and steel MiC projects.
Thus, MiC is creating a new image of modern construction
as being resource-saving and environmental-sustainable.

increase training and education opportunities. The “training
opportunity” is evidenced in the projects:
• In PSKDQ, weekly safety training was conducted for the
workers to properly use the working platform for module
installation.
• In InnoCell, each worker received four times training
opportunities per month.
Reduced disturbance to the community
A reduced number of material delivery trips to the
construction site minimised the impact on the local
transportation systems and thus caused much less disturbance
to the nearby community. With the adoption of MiC,
a significant reduction in vehicular trips to site was achieved
in both pilot projects, mainly due to the fact that most of the
MiC materials were already integrated into the prefinished
and pre-furnished modules in the factory (Figure 6). The
“vehicle movements” are evidenced in the projects:
• In PSKDQ, less than 40 deliveries of module transportation
were required for all living areas of a typical floor, which
covered around 90% of structural and architectural works,
and 90% installation of concealed conduits and domestic
electrical services.
• In InnoCell, only 30 deliveries of module transportation
were required for constructing all living areas of a typical
floor, which covered over 95% of structural, architectural
and building services works in the domestic areas.

Increased community’s satisfaction by addressing the
urgent social needs
The use of MiC accelerated project delivery and thus should
benefit the early delivery of projects to address social needs.
The “community’s satisfaction” of addressing urgent social
needs is evidenced in the projects:
• The PSKDQ was completed within just 30 months, while
it might take 39 months for the development of a similar
project if conventional methods were used.
• The InnoCell was completed with the time saving of over
14 months for the overall development.
Improved industry image
The MiC adoption provided evidence that the traditional
4D (ie dirty, dangerous, demanding, and disorganised)
perception of the industry could be transformed to 5S
(ie shine, safe, speed, sustainable and smart). As a result,
the industry should be able to attract more youth and
professionals to join. Wider adoption of MiC could trigger more
innovation as well as provide more opportunity for application
of new technologies in construction industry such as building
information modelling (BIM), virtual reality (VR), internet of
things (IoT), Blockchain, which could greatly facilitate the
design, production, transportation and installation processes.
The “innovation and technology” is evidenced in the projects:
• In PSKDQ, module production and installation were
integrated with BIM, IoT, and Blockchain technologies for
quality and efficient project delivery.
Figure 6: Prefinished and
pre-furnished modules from the
factory

• In InnoCell, a digital QA/QC platform and VR technologies
were implemented for module production inspection and
module installation training, respectively.
Socially, MiC enables safe project delivery and thus
benefits the employees, and the enhanced collaboration
and innovation training ensure that the workers gain
a sense of achievement from their jobs. In addition, MiC
contributes an improved and modernised image of the
construction industry as being cleaner, safer and smarter,
which will attract more young talents and thus trigger more
construction innovation.
In addition, the adoption of MiC can dramatically reduce
the disturbance to the local community caused by multiple
material delivery trips. More importantly, MiC provides
a more effective and efficient approach to shortening the
project realisation time.
Uplifting MiC to new heights
It was found that MiC outperforms the conventional
construction in both concrete and steel cases. First, economic
efficiency was substantially improved with ensured cost
competitiveness, increased labour productivity, accelerated
construction speed and better quality. Cost neutrality was
guaranteed, and cost savings were estimated around 7%
for steel MiC and around 6% for concrete MiC. With more
projects embracing MiC after the learnings from these two
pilot projects, the cost saving can be further enhanced to
more than 10%. Second, environmental sustainability was
significantly fortified with reduced construction waste and
energy consumption. More tidy and cleaner construction sites
were observed for both concrete and steel MiC. Third, social
harmony was greatly enhanced with reduced disturbance
to community, enhanced safety performance and ensured
employees’ welfare.
It is worth noting that the two high-rise MiC projects cover
both concrete and steel MiC building methods and both
residential and apartment building types. Albeit the evidence
is being based on only two cases, the findings are powerful in
revealing that MiC outperforms conventional construction in
all economic, social and environmental aspects. The proven
performance of MiC for high-rise building projects in particular
has made a significant contribution to the industry in
addressing multi-faceted challenges such as the ensured cost
competitiveness to reduce high construction costs, increased
labour productivity by addressing the ageing workforce, and
the accelerated project delivery by shortening the overall
project realisation time.
To enable the long-term development of Hong Kong and
ensure the sustainability of the construction industry, the
HKSAR Government has developed Construction 2.0 to reform
and upgrade the industry through the three pillars: innovation,
COVER STORY
professionalisation and revitalisation. Adoption of MiC in
building projects is one of the key measures in addressing
the multi-faceted challenges. In early 2020, the HKSAR
Government has taken the lead in promoting the wider use of
MiC in certain types of new government building works as well
as building projects funded by the HKSAR Government, and it
is envisaged more private MiC building projects will follow.
The wide adoption of MiC is beneficial for the development of
not only Hong Kong but also other economies in the Greater
Bay Area and overseas. On the one hand, the increased
demand will stimulate investment in establishing MiC factories
in the Greater Bay Area or in Hong Kong. On the other hand,
as Hong Kong is a well-developed economy with international
building standards for high-rise buildings and world-leading
expertise in design and construction, the knowledge and
experiences developed in adopting MiC for high-rise buildings
will provide invaluable learning or even set international
standards for adopting MiC in other cities.
With the whole construction industry including clients,
consultants, contractors and supply chains in public and
private sectors joining hands marching for a wider adoption
of MiC in Hong Kong, we can bring MiC to a new height,
contributing an international brand and reinforcing the global
status of Hong Kong.
Notes

2. The estimated cost only involved construction cost for building works
(ie structural, architectural and building services works and foundation
works). The estimation was based on the combination of relevant
figures in the public domain, academic publications and interviews with
MiC professionals. Due to commercial reasons and other constraints, no
actual construction cost data of the project is disclosed.

Design review and
implementation of Buildability
Evaluation System for Public
Engineering Works Projects
Introduction
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”
- William Thompson (Lord Kelvin)
Both the Buildability Evaluation System (BES) for buildings
and the Buildability Evaluation System for Public Engineering
Works Projects (BES(E)) seek to address this proposition by an
approach measuring the state of “buildability” of projects in
a unified and quantifiable manner.
In 2017, the Development Bureau (DEVB) of the HKSAR
Government and Arcadis developed the BES for buildings,
and it was rolled out by the Government in 2018 under the
Technical Circular (Works) No 6/2018 Implementation of
Buildability Evaluation System. The DEVB stipulated that BES
should be used on government funded building projects
with an intention to:
i. Align industry effort with commitment by all stakeholders;
ii. Rationalise project designs and facilitate asset
maintenance;
iii. Promote mechanisation and prefabrication;
iv. Provide certainty and continuity of policy for designers
and contractors; and
v. Enhance construction productivity and project cost
management to achieve value for money.
BES(E) is a natural expansion of BES to cover the most
significant forms of infrastructure assets within public
engineering works. This encompasses geotechnical works,
roadworks, drainage works, waterworks, marine works,
elevated structure works and facility structures works. BES(E)
is ambitious in terms of its coverage; doing so must address
fundamental differences between “building assets” and
“public engineering assets”. This includes a simple but highly
significant fact that public engineering assets may extend
for kilometres across highly variable topography, geology,
site constraints and environmental conditions.
FEATURE
Basis for BES(E)
Both BES and BES(E) progress towards setting a measurable
scale against the difficult-to-define subject of “buildability”.
The intention of both BES and BES(E) is to provide
a quantifiable approach to assessing the relative
performance of buildings or public engineering works
in regard to buildability/constructability. For ease of
introduction to the engineering community, BES(E) has taken
BES as the base format and developed it to address the
broad-ranging aspects of public engineering works, namely:
• A wider variety of disciplines and engineering
components involved: drainage, sewerage, buildings,
bridges, tunnels, slopes, noise barriers, highways and
footpaths, etc;
• The geographical extent of public engineering works
projects, which may consist of linear components such
as highways, pipelines and viaducts, along with discrete
assets such as ventilation buildings, piers and pumping
stations;
• The works can include construction, modification and/
or demolition of man-made structures or alterations of
natural forms; and
• The works can be at grade, above ground level,
underground, or multiple combinations of these
arrangements.
In reviewing these aspects, it was noted that there were
aspects common in different engineering works categories
and components. This indicates that a common system
could be developed, allowing a consistent approach to be
adopted over a wide range of projects while achieving the
core objectives including:
• Accommodating a wide variety of aspects across the
broad range of public engineering works;
• Accommodating the differences between building
projects and public engineering works projects;
• Retaining a degree of commonality between BES and
BES(E);

• Not imposing significant administrative burdens on the • Geotechnical works

• Allowing individual project team a degree of flexibility in • Waterworks
assessing their projects; and • Marine works
• Serving as a benchmarking tool for the development of • Elevated structure works
designs with the intent of improving constructability. • Facility structures works

It was essential to maintain a clear and consistent concept
of “buildability” within the tool during its development. In the
research on this issue, it was observed that the approaches
to handling “buildability” or “constructability” issues varied,
but generally fell into two primary approaches:
a) “Buildability” was seen to be addressed through
prescriptive details, systems and methods; and
b) “Constructability” was seen to be achieved through
a review process with input from peers/experts in
constructability.
In line with this, BES(E) has taken a broader view of the term
“buildability” in its title by considering significant general
constructability issues alongside the details for buildability
of the engineering components. This is especially important
in public engineering works projects, which can have
significant social impacts over large areas, potentially
controlling whether a project can be reasonably built to
time and budget.
Under these works categories are the 21 works components
including foundations, slopes, tunnels and bridges, etc.
By assessing and combining these components in
a weighted manner, BES(E) can cover a wide range of
infrastructure projects. The weighting is carried out on the
basis of an estimated cost to avoid any expensive but minor
component having excessive influences on the assessed
score for the whole project.
Internal and external project
constraints
One key issue for BES(E) was to adequately recognise the
difference between applying an assessment to a building
within a defined site area and a public engineering works
project which may extend across large sites with highly
variable internal and external constraints.
To address internal constraints such as physical obstacles,
Module 2 allows the project to be assessed in up to five
different “project zones” across the project. This allows for

Coverage of BES(E) project constructability issues that might occur along a

project such as the one illustrated in Figure 1.
For “constructability”, BES(E) includes assessments for the
fundamental aspects in the overall development of the
project including:

• Picking the most appropriate site location or alignment

considering the community features, constraints and
environmental impacts;
• Determining the best use of the site with assessments
of the inclusion of information for efficient design, site
surveys, condition of existing facilities and features,
ground information, access, etc; and
• Providing sufficient project programme for design,
co-ordination and construction. Figure 1: Illustration of the concept of project zone in BES(E)

For “buildability”, the engineering components within public
engineering works projects can vary widely in their nature,
ranging from single discipline projects such as new pipe
laying to multi-discipline mega projects with roads, bridges,
drainage and buildings, etc. To accommodate this range,
BES(E) has classified the works into seven works categories
for public engineering works projects:
Similarly, external constraints such as legal, social or
environmental aspects (refer to Figure 2) were catered for
in Module 3, by allowing “compensatory points” when the
designer has developed designs to specifically address
these external constraints (the “imposed conditions”).

(refer to Figure 4) to enable the assessment of the identified
works components forming the project.

 Safety Corner
Defense in depth - Safety of a nuclear
power plant
By Ir Richard FUNG
We have the Black Swan Theory, Murphy’s Law and Sod’s
Law to basically express that what may go wrong will go
wrong. Notwithstanding the fact that nobody is infallible,
checks and precautionary measures provide assurance
that mistakes potentially made through human error will
be caught before they have any major impact.
To enhance the safety of a nuclear power plant,
engineers adopt the “defense in depth” approach.
This recognises the possibility of technical and human
failures and hence bringing in multiple layers of mitigating
measures. The approach applies to all the stages in the
life of the plant, from its design, construction, operations
to its final decommission.
Each defense layer is designed to be robust, so that these
layers add up to give a very low overall risk. One such
example is the pressurised water reactor technology
that is prevalent for the nuclear power plants around the
world. What occurs is that nuclear fission at the reactor
can be stopped within seconds by the insertion of rods
containing neutron absorbing material into the reactor.
Another backup measure is the injection of water-bearing
neutron absorbing material. Sealed metallic tubing is
used to contain the radioactive substances produced in
nuclear fission. This is followed by a sealed pressure vessel
and cooling water circuit, which are then enclosed by
a sealed reinforced concrete structure. As a result,
multiple layers of fail-safe measures ensure a very low risk
of unintended radiation release.
From the human perspective of nuclear power plants,
continuous training is provided before granting permission
to undertake qualified tasks. Training protocol includes
established procedures, work planning and checking,
safety assessment, experience feedback and sharing,
lifetime records, quality assurance and contingency
planning. Work is therefore performed to established
practices, and deviations can be traced and lessons can
be learned to reduce error occurrence.
With the defense in depth approach to nuclear and
radiation safety, the probability for uncontrolled release
of a large amount of radioactivity to the environment is
estimated at once in a million years of operation for
a modern nuclear power plant, thereby contributing
a very small additional risk to its nearby population.

Nuclear reactor safety: Emergency
core cooling systems
By Ir B L LUK
Safety is of paramount importance in the nuclear industry.
All nuclear power plants have many different safeguard
systems in place to help ensure that radiation levels near
nuclear reactors are kept at an acceptable low level.
The emergency core cooling (ECC) system is one such
safeguard system. ECC systems are designed to prevent
the reactor core from overheating in the event of
a hypothetical loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The
rupture of a primary system pipeline, a typical LOCA
accident, will cause high-pressure water to escape from
the reactor system and may require emergency cooling
water to remove the thermal energy stored in the core.
Since pressurised water reactor (PWR) systems are the
most popular type of reactors in the world and have been
widely adopted in the PRC, we will focus our remaining
discussion on PWR ECC systems.
PWR ECC systems consist of both passive and active
components. The passive components are tanks of
borated water known as accumulators. A pressurised
nitrogen gas dome above the accumulator water
automatically pushes the water into the primary system
whenever the system pressure falls below the nitrogen
pressure during a LOCA.
The ECC active components cover a wider pressure range
to handle the different stages of a LOCA. As a minimum,
they typically consist of a high pressure injection system
(HPIS) and a low pressure injection system (LPIS).
When a small break LOCA, such as in the reactor coolant
system, causes the system to depressurise (early stage of
the blowdown), the HPIS will be triggered to inject water
into the core where reactor coolant system pressure
remains very high. The LPIS (residual heat removal) is
designed to inject water into the reactor coolant system
at low reactor coolant pressures caused by a large break
LOCA.
To protect the containment from being damaged by high
pressure steam during a LOCA, the containment spray
system will automatically spray water from the upper part
of containment to reduce its pressure by condensing the
steam.
ECC shows how safety is being integrated into the nuclear
reactor design.

This was the first time we invited an overseas speaker from
Serbia to deliver a webinar over the internet. We were
delighted to get an excellent response from the audience
and positive feedback.
The speaker, Dr Nenad Katic, started the webinar with an
introduction to smart gird solutions, including automated
demand response (ADR), advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) and advanced distribution management systems
(ADMS). He analysed how ADMS benefitted the grid from both
a technical and commercial point of view. He also presented
cost evaluations and an economic analysis of ADMS from the
transmission level down to the customer level.

Coming to the end of the webinar, the audience showed
their interest in ADMS during the question-and-answer session.
Dr Katic replied to all the questions by quoting some examples
for easy illustration. At the end of the webinar, Ir John Chan,

Webinar on IEEE P2668 IoT Maturity Index -
A new standard for industry adoption
By Ir Dr K F TSANG and Ir Alan CHAN

The internet of things (IoT) has dominated the main role of the
smart city through the cutting edge development of artificial
intelligence, big data and other technologies. As such,
a tremendous number of IoT connections have inevitably
been set up.
However, there was no universal standard to monitor IoT
performance. The IEEE P2668 IoT Maturity Index (IDex) was
introduced to assure the quality of performance of smart IoT
sensors. In this webinar, Dr Carmen Fung shared the vibrant
sensor ecosystem via the Sensor Lab and Hub at the Hong
Kong Science Park, and Ir Dr K F Tsang explained how to
improve IoT solutions by IDex.
The objective of the Sensor Lab and Hub is to offer
a well-equipped cleanroom (class 100; 1000; 1000) for start-up
companies and small and medium enterprises to conduct trial
runs of prototyping micro-/nano-sensors and test the sensors
in a real environment under different protocol standards
such as LoRa and SigFox. The Sensor Lab support platform
also facilitates sensor chip development by offering
6”/8” wafer processing equipment and high precision back-
end packaging equipment.
Currently most IoT systems adopt the low-power wide-area

Seminar on occupational health and safety
legislation
By Ir Simon TSUI and Ir George AU

The SSC organised the seminar “Highlights to Occupational
Safety and Health Ordinance & Factories and Industrial
Undertakings (Safety Management) Regulation” on
29 October 2020. Mr Dickson Leung, an experienced
Occupational Safety Officer from the Labour Department,
the HKSAR Government, was invited as the speaker of the
seminar.
In the seminar, the two most important pieces of occupational
health and safety (OHS) legislation were introduced, namely
the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (OSHO), and
Factories and Industrial Undertakings (Safety Management)
Regulation (F&IU(SM)R).
Firstly, Mr Leung briefed the primary purpose of the OSHO. The
Ordinance is to ensure the safety and health of employees
and to prescribe measures that will make the workplaces of
employees safer and healthier. Furthermore, the Ordinance is
to improve safety and health standards applicable to certain
hazardous process, plant and substances used or kept in
workplaces. The ultimate goal is to ensure every employee
has a safe and healthy working environment. In enforcing
the Ordinance, some workplaces exempted implicitly and
explicitly were brought to the attention of the participants.
not defined in the Ordinance but it has acquired a quite clear
meaning from decided cases in courts.
For the F&IU(SM)R, Mr Leung gave details of the legal
requirements about the applicable trades, operation,
reporting and record keeping for “safety management
system”, “safety audit” and “safety review”. In addition, the
requirements of registration and appointment respectively
applicable to a registered safety auditor and a safety review
officer were clearly explained. As such, we could learn more
about how the regulation helps an organisation to operate
with a continuous OHS improvement.
The seminar was well attended by over 150 participants. On
behalf of the SSC and the Hong Kong Institute of Construction
Managers (HKICM), we would like to express our sincere
thanks to Mr Leung for delivering such an informative talk.

Another key point of the Ordinance is the main frame of

general duties of employers, occupiers and employees.
Details and extent of the duty of each party with practical
examples were then highlighted to the audience. The
general duties are governed by a very important and clearly

Life on land - Organic farming workshop

By Ms Carmen LAM

To protect our ecosystem and optimise the sustainable
development of cities, organic farming is being increasingly
promoted worldwide.
After more than 30 years in Hong Kong, organic farming has
been widely accepted by the public who appreciates its
benefits. The key factor in organic farming - the use of organic
fertilisers - is linked to “Life on land”, goal 15 of the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The abandonment of chemical and artificial pesticides
in agriculture, which have contributed to so much land
degradation and biodiversity loss, has helped to protect and
restore the terrestrial ecosystem.
In light of the above, the YMC and the Continuing Professional
Development Committee jointly organised an organic
farming workshop on the morning of 8 November 2020 with
a visit to the educational Go Green Organic Farm in Yuen
Long.
Next, the participants gained the experience of organic
planting by placing choy sum seeds in organic soil in a pot.
The instructor explained that with proper care, the crop could
be harvested in 36 days. She also demonstrated how to use
organic waste such as egg shells, coffee grounds and rice
rinsing water to fertilise plants.
The workshop ended with a visit to another section of the farm
which raises animals such as rabbits and alpacas to provide
organic fertilisers for the crops.
The participants appreciated that the farm was a small yet
sustainable ecosystem. The experience inspired them to
support local organic farming and adopt a greener lifestyle in
the future.

Participants started the workshop by making pineapple jam

and pineapple cake using dried pineapple as a filling. All the
pineapples used had been harvested in this organic farm.
In the process of making the jam, participants extracted the
pineapple pulp with the tools provided. The task was a lot of
fun and participants enjoyed the pineapple juice which was
left over from the pulping process. The whole process gave
participants an invaluable chance to reflect on our daily

Workshop on how to present yourself:

Beauty hacks for men
By Mr Kevin CHAN

The YMC and the Continuing Professional Development
Committee jointly organised a grooming workshop for our
young male engineers on 12 November 2020. The workshop
aimed to establish the basic skills in polishing the image of
an engineer, including face cleansing, hair styling and
eyebrow trimming.
To start off, the tutors taught participants how to properly
cleanse their face. Face cleansing is the most basic
and crucial step in skincare, yet is often neglected. The
participants took turns to cleanse their face using facial
cleansers and peeling gels with step-by-step guidance from
the tutors.

28 January 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer


Selfies were taken before and after face cleansing so
participants could see and compare the difference and
realise the importance of making face cleansing a habit.
The workshop then proceeded to hair styling. The tutor invited
a participant to be the model and demonstrated the proper
use of equipment and hair styling products, like hairdryers
and sea salt spray, to make a suitable hairstyle. The tutor
then explained how to analyse one’s facial profile and ratio,
in order to select a hair style that best matches them. The
last part of the workshop discussed the selection of eyebrow
trimmers and demonstrated eyebrow trimming technique.
President's Protégés Club
Starting up when locking down -
Startup online sharing event
By Ir WANG Shanshan
The President's Protégés Club (PPC) held an online sharing
event on the afternoon of 14 November 2020. The event
featured five engineering entrepreneurs who shared their
experiences during the recent difficult times under the
pandemic situation:
• Mr Wu Chung-fui, Business Consultant of Navy FAB;
• Mr Justin Chan, CEO and Co-founder of Gense
Technologies;
• Ms Michelle Fno, Founder and CEO of Aromeo Diffuser;
• Mr Andy Tam, R&D Lead of Neurotech (Hong Kong) Ltd;
and
• Mr Eugene Ho, Chief Data Scientist and Co-founder of
Dayta AI Ltd.
The entrepreneurs, who cover a range of different industries
and businesses, share similar open minds towards innovation
and remain positive with regard to finding solutions for the
challenges they are facing.
Such optimism is definitely needed for entrepreneurs
attempting to lead teams towards a better future. One
speaker commented that due to the recent hardships, some
of their client businesses were struggling, and changing
the pitch for the narrative of planning for the recovery
INSTITUTION & DIVISION ACTIVITIES
The workshop was successfully completed with the support of
the tutors who provided our participants with valuable advice
on finding the styles that suited them best.
Participants learned different grooming techniques which
were both simple yet efficient, allowing them to groom every
day despite busy work schedules.
The biggest takeaway of this workshop was to allow
participants to embrace their appearance, and understand
the importance of a good professional image and delivering
a good first impression to others. Everyone enjoyed this
workshop and believed that the skills they learned would help
build their self-confidence.
encouraged them to be more forward-looking. This helped
establish a win-win situation for both the startup and its clients
to prepare for the future.
COVID-19 has not treated all companies equally, and some
speakers said they faced more difficult situations when
they needed to make decisions for lay-offs. In spite of such
difficulties, all the speakers shared the view that collaborative
and creative teams are essential.
Over 100 people joined the sharing event online, among
which were many high school students. The PPC hopes that
more events like this can encourage more youngsters to take
an interest in the engineering industry.

Talk on the golden age: Age strong and healthy

By Ir Simon CHUNG

The Veneree Club was honoured to have Mr Jeremy Choi and
Mr Heywood Cheung who are both experienced professionals
in health, fitness and nutrition, delivered the captioned talk on
18 November 2020. 36 members attended face-to-face and
80 members online.
Mr Choi explained that there are three key factors that we
need to control in connection with our health as we age,
which are stress, inflammation and blood sugar imbalances.
Stress is ever-present nowadays and sometimes very
complicated even due to trivial situations. Stress causes
increased cortisol levels in our body, and the symptoms due
to the elevated cortisol levels include a weakened immune
system, anxiety, depression and other health issues.
Acute inflammation normally caused by allergic reactions,
chemical irritation, infections, burns and cuts, could
sometimes be treated and healed. But in many cases acute
inflammation can become chronic inflammation if prolonged,
leading to cardiovascular, neurological and autoimmune
diseases.
There are two solutions to control and balance the above
factors as we age. Regular exercise is an important factor.
Mr Cheung presented the advantages of lifting heavy weight
and suggested that suitably designed horizontal push and
pulls, vertical push and pulls, and lower body push and pulls
could help keep the aged strong.
The other solution is proper nutrition. He introduced how to
balance carbohydrates, protein and fat in our diet. With
regard to fat, we should avoid unsaturated and trans fats
and consume more Omega-3 fatty acids. Micronutrients like
vitamins, particularly vitamin D for healthy bones, potassium
and magnesium are also essential to keep us healthy.
A balanced diet will be golden words for our golden age. The
seminar concluded with a question-and-answer session.

Blood sugar imbalances are caused by insulin resistance. In

normal situations, insulin helps control blood glucose levels by
signalling the liver, muscle and fat cells to take glucose from
the blood. Insulin resistance means such process to regulate
blood sugar is not functioning well. To overcome insulin
resistance and improve insulin sensitivity, we have to avoid
excessive carbohydrates in our diet. Speakers Mr Jeremy Choi (L) and Mr Heywood Cheung (R)

CE delivered the Policy Address
2020
The Chief Executive (CE) delivered the
Policy Address 2020 on 25 November 2020,
which adopted some recommendations
made by me and my team members,
including launch of the “Greater Bay Area
Youth Employment Scheme”, abolishing
Doubled Ad Valorem Stamp Duty on
non-residential property transactions,
implementation of Tai Hang Sai Estate
Redevelopment, expediting the
implementation of the cross-boundary
wealth management connect scheme,
launching Smart City Blueprint 2.0, etc.
I urged the Government to speed up the
new railway projects and the study on
comprehensive transportation strategy
as soon as possible, so as to facilitate
people’s livelihood and provide more job
opportunities for the engineering and
construction industry.
Conducted the Greater Bay Area
Youth e-Channel Report
On 19 November 2020, in response to
the current obstacles faced by Hong
Kong young people to go north for
48 January 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer
employment, I held a press conference
with some other LegCo Members to
propose the establishment of "Greater Bay
Area Youth e-Channel”. We put forward
ten suggestions, aiming at reducing and
removing obstacles for Hong Kong young
people to seek opportunities to study,
work and live in the Greater Bay Area.
Funding projects approved in the
PWSC and the FC
On 18 November 2020, four public works
proposals were endorsed at the meeting
of the Public Works Subcommittee (PWSC).
A project of HK$4,137 million was approved
for the construction of the Water Supplies
Department Headquarters with the Hong
Kong and Islands Regional Office and
the Correctional Services Department
Headquarters Building in Chai Wan.
Another project of HK$2,157.5 million was
also approved for the construction of the
Drainage Services Department Office
Building at Cheung Sha Wan Sewage
Pumping Station. These projects together
with the others would be forwarded to the
Finance Committee (FC) for final funding
approval.
On 4 December 2020, the FC approved
the project of HK$550.4 million to engage
consultants to conduct the studies related
to artificial islands in the Central Waters
and the associated site investigation
works.
An oral question of coping with
the Coronavirus disease 2019
I raised an oral question of coping with
the Coronavirus disease 2019 at the
Council meeting on 11 November 2020.
I asked the Government the details about
studying of the introduction of a rapid
nucleic acid test for COVID-19 at the
airport and all boundary control points, as
well as whether it will allocate additional
resources to promote the collaboration
between local universities and research
institutions in the research and
development of rapid test kits, vaccines
and drugs for COVID-19. The Government
replied that a trial run of a nucleic acid
test using reverse transcription loop-
mediated isothermal amplification
(RT-LAMP) technique began at Hong
Kong International Airport on 28 October
2020. The Government has approved a
total funding of HK$47 million to support
four local universities to conduct 11 studies
relating to the testing methods, vaccines
and antivirals of COVID-19.

Government’s reply, please visit the

A written question of facilitating
Hong Kong's integration into
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao
Greater Bay Area
On 18 November 2020, I raised a written
question on facilitating Hong Kong’s
integration into Guangdong-Hong Kong-
Macao Greater Bay Area. I urged the
Government to facilitate the linking up
of Hong Kong's railway network with
the railway networks of the Mainland
cities within the Greater Bay Area and
explain the measures to increase the
flow of people, goods, capital and
information within the Greater Bay
Area. The Government replied that it will
pursue the detailed implementation of
the 24 measures announced after the
Leading Group meetings last year and will
continue to seek breakthroughs in various
policy areas to strengthen Hong Kong’s
role in taking forward the development of
the Greater Bay Area.
For my written question and the
Government’s reply, please visit the
website at https://www.info.gov.hk/

Subcommittee on Seven Pieces
of Subsidiary Legislation Relating
to Fee Waiving or Concession
Measures for the Construction
Sector
The Government introduced seven pieces
of subsidiary legislation relating to fee
waiving or concession measures for the
construction sector. It gives effect to
the extension of the existing waivers or
concessions and to provide legal backing
for new waivers. A Subcommittee was set
up to scrutiny on the legislation. I support
the fee waivers and have joined the
Subcommittee in November.
Bills Committee formed on
16 October 2020 to study the
Waste Disposal (Charging for
Municipal Solid Waste)
(Amendment) Bill 2018
The Bill seeks to amend the Waste
Disposal Ordinance (Cap 354) and the
Waste Disposal (Refuse Transfer Station)
Regulation (Cap 354M) to establish
a charging scheme for the disposal of
municipal solid waste. It is the continuing
of the Bills Committee on Waste Disposal
(Charging for Municipal Solid Waste)
(Amendment) Bill 2018. I joined the Bills
Committee in November.
