The ArchSD's project for Married  Quarters for FSD at Pak Shing Kok, Tseung Kwan O is the first concrete  high rise Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) project in Hong Kong.  The modular construction is a way to resolve the ageing problem of  construction workers. The labour content on site is reduced by 40%. As  many works are done in the factory, the quality of works is enhanced and  the construction period is shortened. The project started in August  2018 and completed in March 2021. There are 4 months shortened compared  with contract completion. This High Rise Concrete MiC System won the  Local Grand Prize of CIC Construction Innovation Award 2019 and the  project won the Gold Award (Contractor in New Works) of CIC Sustainable  Construction Award 2020.

The School of Professional Development  in Construction (SPDC) of the Hong Kong Institute of Construction is  honoured to invite Ir Richard LEE, the General Manager of Yau Lee  Construction Co., Ltd., to share with us the challenges in implementing  MiC construction during design, manufacturing, transportation,  assembling on site, and follow on site works in this construction  project. A general project review on performance with respect to quality  assurance and control, construction site safety precautions,  environmental issues and productivity will also be discussed.

Speaker:

Ir Richard Lee graduated from The Hong  Kong Polytechnic (now the Hong Kong Polytechnic University) in 1981. He  is a Fellow of the Structural Division of HKIE. He is currently the  General Manager of Yau Lee Construction Co., Ltd., Council Member of  Hong Kong Construction Association and Chairman of the Advisory  Committee of SPDC.

Ir Lee has been engaging in structural  design, project co-ordination and construction practice involving  geotechnical instrumentation, pre-stressed concrete and high-rise  building structures in Hong Kong. He has been joining Yau Lee Holdings  Limited for over 30 years and actively involved in the development of  semi-precast construction technology in particular for the design of  formwork systems, construction cycle planning and design of precast  components for building construction since 1993. He was the team leader  in developing the application of volumetric precast concrete bathroom  construction for public housing in 2000. Since 2018, he has been taking  the lead in developing a high rise concrete modular integrated  construction system, which has been first implemented for Married  Quarters for the Fire Services Department at Pak Shing Kok in Tseung  Kwan O.
