Experience Living in the Advanced MiC Modular Dormitory at the University of Hong Kong

The Wong Chuk Hang student dormitory of the University of Hong Kong will be occupied within this year. The reporter of this website will take you to take a sneak peek at the experience of living in the dormitory that adopts the modular construction method.

Many people’s impression of the MiC construction method is only the bathroom components of Japanese houses. Xu Yonghui, the associate director of Jianjian Design and Research Co., Ltd., said that in fact, MiC in Hong Kong is much more advanced than bathroom components. The floor of the prefabricated components of the HKU dormitory is no different from ordinary concrete floors. It does not feel “hollow”, and the user experience is good. A sound insulation layer is added between the floors, so that even if the residents upstairs are active, they will not disturb the students downstairs.

A sound insulation layer is added between the floors, so that even if the residents upstairs are active, they will not disturb the students downstairs.

Each room is also prefabricated with polished floors, anti-mold latex paint walls and ceilings, and all fixed furniture components such as beds, cabinets, desks, and air conditioners are also installed in the factory. Students only need to live in, which greatly reduces the cost of living in dormitories. upfront costs.

The Wong Chuk Hang Student Dormitory of the University of Hong Kong is one of the Pilot Projects of the Modular Composite (MiC) Construction Method of the Development Bureau. It consists of two 17-storey student dormitories, providing 1,224 dormitory places, each single room is about 6.5 square meters. The project assembles 6 types of components, totaling 952 modules. The transfer floor of the platform structure and the core wall will be built with poured reinforced concrete structure, and the MiC technology will be applied to the construction of dormitory units above the transfer floor of the platform structure.

Lin Yunfeng, director of Jianjian Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that the project demonstrates the possibility and feasibility of MiC for the industry. In the early stage of construction, the workers installed one layer of components in three days, and then one layer a day later, which proved that the MiC construction method can effectively control the efficiency under the limited hands. Taking the student dormitory project of Hong Kong University as an example, the traditional construction method takes three to four hundred days, while the MiC construction method only takes more than one hundred days.

He believes that Hong Kong’s construction industry has long faced the problem of aging and underrepresented employees, and the MiC construction method moves some site processes to factories to complete in advance, and rationally divides labor to meet the needs of Hong Kong’s construction manpower. In addition, the construction cost of this project is about 10% cheaper than traditional house construction methods. He believes that MiC will become a construction trend. As more and more developers choose to use MiC to build houses, the construction cost will become even cheaper.

He added that under the system, each component also has a “birth certificate”, which clearly records the detailed information and person in charge of each process, and stores it in the blockchain network, so that relevant quality certificates can be checked at any time to prevent quality “falsification”. He hopes to share the new system with the industry to promote the high-tech development of Hong Kong’s construction industry.

According to reports, the traditional construction method takes three to four hundred days, while the MiC construction method only takes more than one hundred days, because the prefabricated components are completed in the factory building, and then transported to the site for installation.

In the past two years, logistics and personnel exchanges between Guangdong and Hong Kong have been hindered, and the progress of many traditional engineering projects has been hindered. Yang Xiankai, director and general manager of Paul Y. Engineering Group, said that the MiC construction method shows its advantages at this time. During the epidemic, the research team of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong developed the world’s first mobile application “Electronic Quality Inspection 2.0 System”, which monitors components from the beginning of production to transportation to Hong Kong. The team can conduct real-time inspections in Hong Kong without crossing the border. After customs clearance, the components were installed as planned, and the progress was not greatly affected.

The cost of electronic door locks can be reduced with mass purchases, and it also meets the security needs of residential students.reporter on bus

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HS) Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area resettlement housing estate project is divided into three phases. The subsidized sale housing project in phase 1A is constructed using the concrete assembly method. The building is 27 stories high and the residential area occupies The 25-storey building will provide 300 one- to three-bedroom units with an area of ​​approximately 360 to 633 square feet upon completion in 2024.

The Housing Society won two awards for this project, including the “Outstanding MiC Project” award at the “Modular Composite” Construction Method Achievement Commendation Ceremony organized by the Construction Industry Council, and Housing Society Director (Project Planning) Yang Kaiyu was awarded the “Outstanding Project Team member”.

The Hung Shui Bridge Phase 1A project is the Housing Society’s first subsidized sale housing project constructed using the “Mobile and Composite” construction method. Compared with traditional construction methods, the time required for superstructure works is reduced by about 15%, and the number of construction workers required on the site It is also reduced by 2/3 compared with traditional buildings.

Yang Qiyu introduced that the traditional construction period is estimated to take 27 to 28 months from receiving the site to the completion of the construction site and obtaining the occupancy certificate, while the estimated construction period of “assembly and synthesis” is about 24 months, saving 4 months in the middle, saving about 15% of construction time.

Yang Qiyu pointed out that there are about 120 workers on the construction site of the Hongshui Bridge Phase 1A project.reporter on bus

In terms of manpower, if this project adopts the traditional construction model, it should require more than 300 units on the scale of 25 floors, 14 units and about 300 units.
Worker. Due to the use of the “assembly and synthesis” construction method, the processes of the workers below the concrete floor are all completed in the factory. At present, there are about 120 workers on the entire construction site, including management and miscellaneous items, and the site manpower has been reduced by about 2/3. .

However, don’t think that the prefabricated components are all ready. It’s just a matter of splicing and assembling when you arrive in Hong Kong. It turns out that the prefabricated components encountered “acclimatization” when they first arrived.

Yang Qiyu introduced that due to the restrictions on the total height of goods carried in Hong Kong, if the balcony is handled in the general way of connecting the top, it cannot be operated on the roads of Hong Kong. For this reason, the team used some thought to connect the balcony to the floor, and successfully limited the height to within 4.6 meters, which solved the transportation problem.

Common areas outside of prefabricated components, such as hallways, still require on-site workers.reporter on bus

On the other hand, although the inner wall of the “Box” is ready-made, which saves part of the process, the public areas such as corridors on the middle floor still need on-site workers, especially those who pursue high-quality projects and need experienced workers. Master.

Yang Qiyu hopes that this project will bring discussion and demonstration to the industry.reporter on bus

Yang Qiyu said that the project demonstrates the benefits of using “assembly synthesis”, and hopes to bring discussion and demonstration to the industry.
