by adopting mic and mimep construction method, the hkicc equipped with over 800 isolation beds was built within 4 months.

Innovative construction methodologies, MiC and MiMEP by assistance of full-scale BIM, were adopted extensively in this project which significantly raised quality of site coordination, simplified and speeded up the installation as well as improved the construction accuracy. Standardised isolation wards were built with each cubicle composing of 3 MiC units which were prefabricated offsite in factories and then transported to the site for installation. This resulted in a greatly compressed construction period and minimised adverse environmental impacts.

Meanwhile, VR and AR technologies were also deployed to help coordinate the details of the MiC wards for accurate mass production, position and rapid installation. A smart-site management system was also in place to facilitate project supervision, thereby saving time and manpower resources.

Innovation is the key to complete this project in solely 4-month period and in spite of that, the project managed to fully fulfil the stringent infection control requirements with robust building services installations without compromising in terms of its scale and quality against other local public hospitals.

We are honoured to achieve the Certificate of Gold Award by the Hong Kong Institute of Building Information in 2020 as recognition of our active and successful use of BIM technology in the project cycle.
