Precast concrete parts and MiC modules for elementary school project

Precast concrete parts and MiC modules for elementary school project

The BD Division organised the captioned one-day technical visit on 13 April 2024. There were 19 participants, including the BD Division’s Committee Members and engineers from different sectors.

The visit started early, with a gathering at Futian Port, followed by a bus ride to the precast factory in Boluo County, Huizhou City. The Chief Executive Officer of Wing Hong Shun and his façade engineers then delivered a presentation on the company’s background, their vision and production line. Wing Hong Shun’s services include manufacturing and delivery of all kinds of precast elements and MiC modules.

After the presentation, participants were invited to two of the factory areas. The first area was a traditional open production yard where the participants were able to see the full production line of modules, from mould fabrication, rebar fixing and concreting, to finishes and services installations.

Participants were then invited to the second area, an innovative and sustainable multistorey factory which stacked the different work zones vertically, creating a three-dimensional fabrication yard.

The building was designed by Wing Hong Shun to ensure that the layout, spatial requirements, provision of car ramps for long trucks, elevated lifting cranes, hoists and heavy-duty elevators were tailor-made for the construction of modules.

The multistorey factory was also designed for sustainability with proper rest areas, clear separation between clean zones and work zones, as well as flexibility for future changes of usage.

The fabrication yard creates an environment for high quality and streamlined production of modules within a limited land area. This innovative idea implied the possibility of increased production of modules within the same area of land. With such innovative ideas, we may soon be able to see “Made in Hong Kong” modules.

All the participants gained considerable knowledge and exchanged experiences throughout the visit. We are looking forward to more memorable technical visits and field trips from the BD Division in the future.
