The Water Supplies Department Tin Shui Wai Building is a 7-storey building for the New Territories West Regional Office and Water Resources Education Centre of Water Supplies Department in Tin Shui Wai. In addition to serving as an office, it also provides exhibits, live demonstrations and interactive games to enable visitors to gain a thorough understanding of water resources and conservations in Hong Kong.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) was adopted in the planning, design and construction stage to optimise the building design and the construction activities. BIM model was handed over to maintenance team for achieving sustainable facilities up-keeping. The project received the Platinum rating under BEAM Plus Assessment (New Buildings) in 2019.

Practising Innovative and Sustainable Construction Methods

In the planning and design stage, BIM was adopted to visualise the building design and predict any constraints in 3D form, thus resolve potential problems in early stage
In the construction stage, BIM was used to allow the real time construction consequences to be visualised before the commencement of work so that the construction team could plan ahead to reduce delays
In the post-construction stage, BIM model was handed over to maintenance team to achieve sustainable facilities up-keeping
