Building a Sustainable Future with MiC
Traditional construction methods require a significant amount of manpower and a long construction time. Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is an innovative construction method designed to maximise offsite manufacturing. Its emergence addresses the many challenges faced by the local construction industry by shortening construction times, improving the working environment, and even enhancing site safety.
To explore the latest development of MiC techniques, the Council organised two technical visits to MiC sites, namely the Hong Kong Housing Society’s MiC mock-up for Hung Shui Kiu Phase 1A, and the Architectural Services Department’s MiC school construction site at Area 9 of Tai Po on 15 and 21 February respectively.
The MiC project for Hung Shui Kiu Phase 1A is a 28-storey building providing 300 subsidised sale apartments, of which 25 storeys will be built by concrete MiC. Scheduled for completion in 2024, it will become Hong Kong’s tallest and first concrete MiC residential building with balconies for sale.
The school construction project at Tai Po Area 9 is the first primary school building in Hong Kong to fully adopt the MiC technique for its 36 classrooms, student lavatories, electrical rooms, and a pantry. The installation of the MiC classrooms is targeted for completion within February 2023. The project was awarded the “Outstanding MiC Project” Award by the Construction Industry Council in 2022. It is anticipated that this experience of MiC design and implementation will create a strong foundation for future school developments adopting MiC technology.
