Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department used MiC method to design and construct star gazing facilities at Sai Wan including a sittig-out area located at the hillside north of Sai Wan Beach. As the star gazing facilities are located in a remote place, it is difficult for working vehicles to directly reach the site for construction. The use of MiC can facilitate transportation and maintenance work.

The design features are as follows:

  • The curved ring seat part is assembled from factory-manufactured prefabricated modules
  • Modules can be separated and replaced when necessary
  • The installation of the ring-shaped prefabricated modules adopts the tenon-and-mortise structure technology      instead of welding, so that the installation work is not affected by the rain

Adopting MiC to Build Light Public Housing (LPH) to Expedite Housing Supply

The Policy Address 2022 announced the construction of LPH. The LPH Scheme is led by the Architectural Services Department with the adoption of MiC. The Housing Bureau has selected eight sites in Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Ma On Shan, Kai Tak, Ngau Tau Kok and Chai Wai, providing around 30,000 LPH units. The construction period takes only one to two years. Each units equipped with self-contained toilet and basic facilities such as water heater and air-con. The first batch of around 2,100 units will be completed in 2024-25 and the remaining units will be completed by phases in 2025-26 and 2026-27, so as to shorten the waiting time of public housing.
