Interview with Contractor

Mr. Danny C.S. Hung
Executive Director & President
China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited

Over the past few years, we have built a strong relationship with ArchSD through the delivery of various signature projects including the Temporary Quarantine Centre at Penny’s Bay (Phases 1 and 3B), the North Lantau Hospital Hong Kong Infection Control Centre and the Hong Kong Children’s Hospital. These projects are continued representations of ArchSD’s long-standing commitment to sustainable and innovative construction.

ArchSD’s proactive approach is particularly evident with the application of MiC. With the backing of ArchSD, we were able to smoothly and swiftly complete the construction of the quarantine centre to combat the fast-growing spread of COVID-19 and meet the urgent anti-pandemic needs. Taking advantage of simultaneous fabrication of modular units in factories and on-site construction, the adoption of MiC shortened the project period significantly, as well as delivering a higher building quality and reduction of construction waste. ArchSD has also inspired us to adopt other sustainable construction approaches. The Penny’s Bay project encompasses multiple sustainable features including the use of eco-friendly building materials that improve air quality, and sustainable life cycle planning of the quarantine units which can be demounted and repurposed after use. With ArchSD’s support of these features, we are able to push new frontiers in Hong Kong’s construction industry.

Throughout the course of different projects, ArchSD often shares its experiences and latest insights with us, in order to engage us in building a better construction industry together. ArchSD has also launched incentive schemes to recognise contractors’ contributions to innovative and sustainable construction. We are honoured to obtain this year’s Green Contractor Award – Special Award (Fast Track Project).

Our journey with ArchSD has always been a fruitful partnership. We look forward to future collaborations with ArchSD to continue the exploration and implementation of innovative construction methodologies and technologies that drives sustainability in the industry.
