Programme Highlight

土木工程是一門專業工程學科，涉及物理和自然建築環境的設計、施工和維護，包括道路、橋樑、運河、水壩、機場、污水處理系統、管道和鐵路等工程。土木工程行業面臨着激烈的競爭，許多公司都在這個行業開展業務。他們更加注重研發、產品創新、渠道建設和客戶關係管理，試圖獲得更大的市場份額和競爭優勢。土木工程行業的企業一般都與政府和大型企業合作，企業的信譽非常重要。土木工程行業的主要企業已經佔據了較大的競爭優勢，具有品牌效應，這對新進企業形成了壁壘。 2022中國土木工程建築建築業總產值91016.51億元，巨大的市場競爭企業俱備需要專業而過硬的技術和良好和準確的溝通，能說，說好，說準普通話就是其中一個必不可少的關鍵因素。本工作坊旨在幫助學員掌握土木工程領域的專業詞彙，提升在工作中的溝通能力，使您能更加自信地在土木工程領域中溝通和交流。

Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that involves the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, and railways. The civil engineering sector faces fierce competition, with many companies operating in the industry. They place a greater emphasis on research and development, product innovation, channel construction, and customer relationship management in an attempt to gain a larger market share and competitive edge. Companies in the civil engineering industry typically collaborate with governments and large corporations, and the reputation of a company is extremely important. The leading enterprises in the civil engineering industry have already occupied a significant competitive advantage and brand effect, which poses barriers to new companies. In 2022, the total output value of China's civil engineering and construction industry reached 9,101.651 billion yuan. The intense competition in this vast market requires professional and robust technical skills, as well as clear and accurate communication. Being able to speak, and speak well, in Mandarin is one of the essential key factors. This workshop aims to help participants master the professional vocabulary of the civil engineering field, enhancing their communication skills at work, and enabling them to communicate and interact more confidently within the civil engineering domain.

Assembly at Po Shan Drainage Tunnel – Landslide Sci-Tech Chamber, Po Shan Road, Mid-levels

 

Location Highlight

The Po Shan Drainage Tunnel consists of a pair of drainage tunnels with 3.5m diameter and a total length of 500m. In 1972, a catastrophic landslide happened in Po Shan hillside due to high groundwater levels. The disaster shattered numerous homes and took away 67 lives. To prevent similar cases from happening, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) decided to lower the groundwater table by installing horizontal drains, in hope to improve the stability of the hillside against large-scale slope failure. However, in early 2000s, monitoring data shows that some horizontal drains have a decreasing trend of water outflow. Therefore, the GEO has designed the Po Shan Drainage, an innovative and sustainable groundwater regulation system with an automatic real-time groundwater monitoring system. The system allows GEO to control the groundwater levels, reducing the risk to public safety.

Programme Highlight

Land is the essential building block for the challenges faced by Hong Kong. In the spatial context of Hong Kong, Lantau commands an un-paralleled strategic location with a comprehensive air, road and rail transport network connected externally to other cities in the Greater Bay Area and the World as well as internally to the well-established core business area at Central. Creation of land for meeting housing and economic needs in this area would also allow a more balanced spatial distribution of population and jobs. The strategic transport facilities in support of the Lantau development could also help relieve the existing transport capacity constraint in Northwest New Territories as well as enhancing connections between urban areas and the New Territories. During the visit, we are going to visit the Inno Centre for the construction projects to learn how smart site systems enhance the quality and safety of the projects and the CLC to know more about the development projects and conservation works/initiatives of SLO as well as the nature, culture and history in Lantau, through various interactive exhibits and models and exchange the vision and knowledge with engineers from the mainland.

Programme Highlights

 

Environmental Friendly Technology in Breaking Hard Rock

 

Hard rock excavation is most often achieved either using heavy duty rock breaking equipment or by adopting drill and blast methods using commercial explosives. But both methods are considered not environmental friendly in which the first method creates continuous noises and dust causing nuisance to public; and the second method may have social and environmental concerns on possible fly rocks, high vibration, high air over pressure and air pollution. 

 

Plasma Rock Fragmentation Technology is commonly used in overseas rock breaking projects such as South Korea and getting to be noticed and applied in Hong Kong in recent years.

 

It is important to understand how it works and how it can be used to minimise the adverse environmental impacts associated with conventional methods of rock breakage, by reducing the dust, vibration and noise. More importantly, it can be demonstrated to be a safe and reliable rock breaking solution for hard rock excavation operations in urban area.

 

We are excited about the prospects for the use of this technology where ever-tightening controls on noises, vibration, environment, storage and transportation regulations are making conventional blasting methods more difficult to adopt.

 

This talk will present satisfactory and controllable rock breaking monitoring data at different sites in Hong Kong. Plasma Rock Fragmentation Technology is a great tool to help the construction industry to improve their productivity with pro-environment, safety and workability effect.
