Media - A medium for listening to
the Engineers
As engineers, we spare no efforts to offer our expertise and
innovative ideas on improvement of people’s living quality
for the betterment of the society. By giving advices to the
Government and the general public, we hope to provide
solutions to problems or inspire more discussions in order
to engender collective wisdom. That is why the Institution
works closely with the media on topical matters where
engineers’ opinions are warranted.
In the past few months, the Institution has conducted
about 40 interviews with various media including print,
online and electronic news programmes. These interviews
have covered a wide spectrum of areas including sanitary
and public health concerns arising from the COVID-19
pandemic, reclamation, heritage conservation, fire safety
and many more.

As mentioned by the Chief Executive in the 2020 Policy
Address, Hong Kong will strive to achieve carbon neutrality
before 2050. To this end, the Government will examine
various means and take forward different measures to
reduce carbon emissions. Against this background, the
Environment Bureau and the Electrical and Mechanical

Designed by Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with
TFP Farrells and Arup, the long-awaited M+ has completed
its construction of museum building and is set to open to the
public by the end of 2021.
With a total footprint of 65,000 sq m, the M+ building houses
17,000 sq m of exhibition space across 33 galleries. Its
eye-striking inverted T shape is a simple design, yet its facade
is something special. The podium and tower are united as
concrete structures clad in ceramic tiles that reflect the
changing conditions of light and weather. The tower is
covered with 140,000 pieces of ceramic tiles, many with
windows in between. They are laid out in a horizontal louvre
structure to provide sun shading to the museum’s interior
spaces.
The M+ building sits directly above tunnels for the MTR Airport
Express and Tung Chung Line. The excavation around the
railway tunnels produces a ‘found space’ that provides an

remains to be one of the most direct ways all of us can focus
on to begin moving towards a more sustainable society.

molded. The combination of shear forces and molten plastic
fragments then distributes contaminants such as paper, dirt,
food, foil, and other foreign materials evenly throughout
the mixture. With this technology, plastic wastes with
contaminants can still yield higher quality products giving
a clear advantage over many other systems. As described
in the patent: “Appropriate blending, mixing and melting
parameters [allow] the use of many plastics and plastic
composites that otherwise could not be effectively recycled,
and the range of plastic mixes that comprise possible input
and output variants is endless.” This also makes recyclers less
reliant on manual sorting for ensuring material purity and
may even help to keep operations running should pandemic
restrictions require workers to stay home.
Pyrolysis
Another recycling process worth delving deeper into is that
of pyrolysis. Through this process, material is burned past its
decomposition temperature in an anaerobic environment,
resulting in the separation and extraction of burnable fuel
and purified materials with numerous industrial applications.
Wood, plastic and tire rubber are some common materials
that can undergo pyrolysis, with all three of these yielding fuel
in various material states. Pyrolysed tire rubber, for example,
yields fuel and carbon black - a key reinforcing agent in
rubber and a pigment that offers a degree of UV protection
and conductivity, which can see use in marine, industrial,
aerospace, or simple decorative applications. Pyrolysed
wood can produce end-products such as activated carbon
and organic fertilisers such as wood vinegar, the latter of
which is separated out from the combustible gases produced
during pyrolysis. Particularly for wood, pyrolysis gives us an
alternative solution to just simply leaving out large amounts
of wood to decompose, which can be useful for quickly
processing fallen trees from typhoons. Currently, one such
facility for wood pyrolysis is in development at EcoPark in Tuen
Mun.
Automated sorting with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
On the topic of sorting, another way technology can aid
the recycling effort is through automation, as current waste
sorting at Hong Kong’s recycling facilities is mostly done by
hand. Although the amount of material that is received by
these facilities leaves much to be desired, automating this
tedious and repetitive task can save operations costs and
increase overall output. TOMRA, a European-based recycling
technology company, develops automated sorters that can
separate different recyclable materials based on factors such
as colour, density, size, and ballistic attributes. Integrating
COVER STORY
specialised optical and sensor equipment even allows these
sorters to gather data from waste flows on the production line
and learn how to make more efficient sorts over time, also
known as artificial intelligence via deep learning. Investment
in such technology could lead to less reliance on manual
sorting and higher purity in processed materials, both of which
are good news for the recycler’s bottom line.
On a similar note, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) recycling
technology that is currently used in Hong Kong also uses light
spectrum technology to sort out plastics of different colours.
The plastics are then subject to crushing and deep cleaning
to produce high quality PET pellets for further industrial
application.
Electronic waste processing at WEEE Park
Other than plastics, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) is another major source of waste to fret about, with
around 60 to 70 tonnes of WEEE having ended up in Hong
Kong’s landfills per day in 2018. To remedy the situation, the
Government developed a WEEE treatment and recycling
facility in EcoPark, Tuen Mun. Various electronics, especially
those used in households, are sent here to be processed
according to type, such as refrigerators, air conditioners,
computers, and more. Incoming WEEE is sorted and sent
through four different processing lines: refrigerator processing,
air-conditioning processing, dismantling and material sorting,
and Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) detoxification. Diagrams
breaking down each of these processes can be found on the
Government WEEE Park website. In 2020, of the 23,383 tonnes
of WEEE treated, 20,274 tonnes of materials were recovered.
Despite the coronavirus, the park remains fully operational
today.
Solar panel recycling - Challenging but worthwhile
Unfortunately not all electronic waste is easy to recycle. Items
like solar panels, for example, are relatively costly to recycle,
with few to no recyclers in Hong Kong currently willing to
collect and process them. This, however, does not mean that
solar panels have little valuable materials housed within them.
Silicon, copper, silver, aluminum, and glass are all materials
that, if recovered effectively, have high resale value. The
task for engineers would be to develop ways to extract these
materials while retaining their value, or even designing new
solar panels that allow these materials to be easily extracted.
In 2019, researchers from the EU-funded project CABRISS
began developing a novel extraction method using a water-
based technology and lasers to open thin-film photovoltaic
panels with minimal damage. This not only preserves the

high-quality glass film but also allows the other materials
underneath to retain purity when extracted. As explained
by CABRISS project coordinator David Pelletier, “For Si-based
PV modules, an innovative and water-based technology
was developed which, unlike conventional shredding
technologies, does not break glass resulting in the collection
of all materials in Si PV modules.”
In addition to recycling solar panels, it is also worth exploring
how they can instead be upcycled - in other words, finding
a more creative use for them. In fact, while old solar panels
may not be as efficient as their newer counterparts in
generating energy for commercial applications, they can still
be useful for everyday low-voltage tasks. Berlin-based start-
up SunCrafter upcycles retired solar panels to create off-
grid power stations, which can be used to charge phones,
scooters, and power other low-voltage mobile devices.
Christian NGOs Youth with a Mission and Working for the
Son Solar use decommissioned panels to help build solar
microgrids that generate and store electricity for areas with
no power in more than 20 countries.
Solar panels are

Organic waste recovery
Organic waste is not one that immediately comes to mind
when one thinks of recyclable materials. Located in Siu Ho
Wan, North Lantau, O · PARK1 is one such recycling facility
that converts organic waste into electrical power. It does so
by processing up to 200 tonnes of organic matter a day into
compost products and biogas, the latter of which can be
used to generate electricity. The process is also able to filter
out impurities such as glass, metal, stone, sand, plastic bag
fragments and other over-sized contaminants over 16mm in
size. Construction of O · PARK2 is currently underway, which
will be designed to process up to 300 tonnes of organic waste
each day - a small but hopeful fraction of the 3,600 tonnes of
food waste being sent to our landfills every day.
To ensure this food waste even gets to the relevant recycling
facilities, the Hong Kong Government’s Recycling Fund has
COVER STORY
allocated HK$100 million towards the development of smart
bins in residential areas through the scheme “Supporting
Residential Buildings in Adopting Smart Bins Technology
in Food Waste Collection and Recycling”. According to
the relevant Guidance Notes published by the Recycling
Fund, these smart bins will use computer software for user
identification and smart sensors to measure and track food
waste being thrown away by each individual resident. This is
done with the goal of promoting better separation of waste
and raising awareness among residents on the importance of
recycling food waste. The data collected by the smart bins
will be useful for recyclers to determine optimal collection
times and routes that yield productive waste loads.
Reverse Vending Machine
Speaking of tracking individual recycling habits, one project
the EPD has been experimenting with for the last 10 years is
the Reverse Vending Machine (RVM). Now in its third iteration,
the RVM system is packed with a variety of smart features
and now accepts metal and paper recyclables, in addition
to plastic. Using a smart weight detector, the system can
identify and reject plastic bottles with liquid contents in them.
A material compressor and capacity alert system increases
storage and collection efficiency, the latter of which
automatically alerts relevant authorities when the machine
is nearly full. A mobile app also allows users to track their
contributions and receive redeemable rewards, which is
a key incentive to encourage the public to use these
machines. Finally, real-time recycling data is uploaded to the
cloud from all machines across Hong Kong, giving researchers
insight into what is being recycled in correlation to where
and when. Placement of these machines will target primarily
residential areas to encourage hassle-free recycling of
household wastes.
Outreach campaigns by the
Environmental Protection
Department
While having the best recycling technologies at our disposal
would surely be an advantage, the root of the problem
lies further up the recycling chain - in other words, people
and their wasteful habits. That is why outreach campaigns,
especially those organised by the EPD, are so crucial in the
fight to combat our waste problem. However, teaching the
public about the importance of recycling is something far
from new, having been attempted in the past by countless
Government and NGO initiatives alike.

recycling by providing the public with a convenient location
to bring recyclable waste while rewarding individual
contributions. Every resident who brings a minimum of 2 kg of
recyclable goods can turn them in at designated facilities and
earn points (Greeny Coins) on a GREEN$ smart card. These
points can then be redeemed for everyday-use items, as well
as many sustainably-made goods such as bamboo tissues
and recycled plastic bags. As noted by Dr Yau Wing-kwong in
a recent webinar on “Green Technology Opportunities amidst
the Plastic and Waste Problem during the Pandemic” hosted
by the HKIE, the first pilot store that opened in 2020 was very
well received by the public, with many recyclers even willing
to go the extra step to remove staples from books and ensure
their recyclables are fit for processing. There are now 22
recycling stores set up across 18 districts in Hong Kong, most
of which were gradually set up throughout Q1 of 2021.
Recycling Stations are also another crucial part of the
EPD’s public education campaign. On top of working
with nearby residential estates and companies to roll out
localised recycling programmes, educational activities such
as exhibitions, workshops and others are regularly held at
these recycling stations. As at October 2020, 7,000 tonnes of
recyclables have been collected across Hong Kong’s nine
Recycling Stations.
COVER STORY
Renewable or recycled materials
are one of the key ways to
reduce the overuse of disposable
tableware
Finally, “Recycling Spots” have fulfilled the more grassroots
role of the EPD’s recycling outreach campaign. Since the
fourth quarter of 2020, over 100 recycling spots have been
set up at regular times near single blocks or buildings without
owner corporations (also known as “three nil buildings”).
This is to help reach out to those residents that may not have
easy access to waste separation facilities in the absence of
a managing entity. If these fresh pushes towards a green-
conscious society have proven anything, it is that Hong Kong
people are capable of learning recycling habits - be it for
hygienic reasons and, perhaps more importantly, our future
generations won’t have to suffer our wasteful consequences.
From waste collection to recycling and all the detailed
processes in between, many ways exist through which
engineering talents and technologies can be applied
to enhance efficiency. While cities may possess different
strengths in promoting sustainability awareness and practice,
one aspect we certainly do not lack here in Hong Kong
is technological capability. We have what it takes, and
hopefully, through funding schemes such as the Recycling
Scheme and the Green Technology Fund, we can pool
our financial and intellectual resources together to make a
cleaner Hong Kong, pandemic or not.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor
I am glad to learn about the achievements in the
application of Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)
from the Cover Story in Hong Kong Engineer of January
2021 (Volume 49). However, in my opinion, the concept
of Modular Construction has not been presented in a
balanced manner.
The article has used the terms “MiC” and “Modular
Construction” interchangeably, creating the impression
that both are the same. In fact that is not the case. Modular
Construction represents a family of solutions that embraces
off-site manufacturing and on-site assembly. On the other
hand, MiC, which mandates the use of freestanding
volumetric modules manufactured off-site according to the
definition of the Development Bureau, is only one member
of the family.
According to a report titled “Modular Construction: From
projects to products” published by McKinsey & Company
in June 2019, Modular Construction “involves producing
standardised components of a structure in an off-site
factory, then assembling on site.” These components
Response to Ir Alan Man
Dear Editor,
I am grateful to you for forwarding the views of Ir Alan Man
about the Cover Story published in the January 2021 issue of
Hong Kong Engineer which is entitled “Modular Integrated
Construction for High-rise Buildings: Measured Benefits”
(DEVB et al., 2021), and would like to provide my responses
hereinafter.
First of all, let us get the concept fundamentally correct.
MiC was developed in Hong Kong building on the Modular
Construction (MC) approach which has been widely
adopted globally, while MiC emphasises the integration of
advanced manufacturing technologies into the
re-engineered building and construction processes
particularly for high-rise developments in high-density
contexts. As mentioned in the Cover Story, the concept of
MiC was defined by Pan and Hon (2018) as:
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
can be three-dimensional (3D) volumetric units or
two-dimensional (2D) panels. While 3D volumetric solutions
involving fully-fitted units (ie MiC) maximise productivity
benefits, 2D panelised solutions (an analogy is the assembly
of Ikea furniture) optimise logistics in transport and storage.
There are advantages and limitations associated with
each approach. The report concludes that the specific
requirements, circumstances and constraints of a project
determine whether a 3D volumetric solution, a 2D panelised
solution, or a hybrid solution offers the best option. There is
no one-size-fits-all solution.
Today, Modular Construction represents a forest of
opportunities to the building industry. MiC is probably the
most eye-catching tree in this forest. While driving wider
application of MiC in Hong Kong, it is important for our
industry leaders to keep an open mind and not let the focus
on a big tree block the view of the lush forest behind it.
Yours truly
Ir Alan H L MAN
Fellow
“a game-changing disruptively-innovative approach
to transforming fragmented site-based construction
of buildings and facilities into integrated value-driven
production and assembly of pre-finished modules with the
opportunity to realise enhanced quality, productivity, safety
and sustainability.”
The Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works)
No 2/2020 described MiC in a more concrete form as:
“a construction method whereby freestanding volumetric
modules with finishes, fixtures, fittings, furniture and building
services installation, etc manufactured off-site and then
transported to site for assembly.”
MC is the most advanced off-site construction technology
with three-dimensional units that enclose usable space and
are often prefinished. Various terminologies have been used
in different countries and regions for the MC approach,
April 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer 17
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
with examples including “modular building” in the UK (Gibb
and Pendlebury, 2006), “permanent modular construction”
in the US (MBI, 2013), “Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric
Construction (PPVC)” in Singapore (BCA, 2017), and
of course “Modular Integrated Construction (MiC)” in
Hong Kong. There are subtle differences between these
terms, which are explained and illustrated in the Glossary
produced by the Centre for Innovation in Construction
and Infrastructure Development (CICID) of The University
of Hong Kong (HKU) (Pan et al., 2020). However, such
differences should not concern the adopters of MiC in
Hong Kong or MC in the global context. Nevertheless, there
is a fundamental difference between MiC or MC and
off-site construction. The latter is a term literally developed
to contrast with on-site construction, and covers a wide
spectrum of off-site technologies including MC. There
exist in market at least hundreds of off-site technologies,
components and systems manufactured and supplied by
thousands of factories. Prof Alistair Gibb and his team from
Loughborough University, UK developed a level system to
have categorised the many off-site technologies at four
levels (Gibb 1999; Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006), ie:
• Level 1 “component subassembly” (eg prefabricated
lintels),
• Level 2 “non-volumetric preassembly” (eg precast wall
panels),
• Level 3 “volumetric preassembly” (eg bathroom pods),
and
• Level 4 “complete buildings”.
For details one may refer to Prof Gibb’s seminal monograph
entitled “Off-site Fabrication: Prefabrication, Pre-assembly
and Modularisation” published in 1999 and Loughborough
University’s off-site glossary of terms published in 2006
(Gibb and Pendlebury, 2006). One may further refer to
the Glossary of MiC produced by the CICID of HKU in 2020
(Pan et al., 2020), which expands the off-site construction
terms to also cover MiC as well as smart construction in line
with the global trend of the construction industry towards
modularisation and digitalisation.
However, despite the well-established body of knowledge
of MiC, MC and off-site construction, there still exist
misunderstanding of individuals and organisations about
the terms. Ir Man brought forward the report published by
McKinsey & Company (2019). Although the term “modular
construction” is used in the title of that report with no reason
provided perhaps as an eye-catcher, many terms are
used in the report interchangeably with no definition or
description provided. The terms used in that report include:
18 April 2021 I Hong Kong Engineer
“modular construction” (title and throughout), “modular
(or prefabricated) construction” (Page 1), “prefabricated
housing” (Page 1), “pre-fabricated components” (Page 5),
“prefabricated buildings” (Page 17), “industrial
construction” (Page 18), “offsite manufacturing” (Page 19),
“offsite construction” (Page 22), “offsite-produced
residential buildings” (Page 23), “modular prefabrication”
(Page 23), etc. In addition to the inconsistent and somehow
improper use of these terms, that report also wrongly states
“Terms such as offsite construction, prefabrication, and
modular construction are used interchangeably” (Page 7)
which should be corrected. What is illustrated in the figure
(Exhibit 2, Page 8) actually shows the spectrum of off-site
construction technologies, but not “modular construction”
incorrectly put in the figure caption. The body of literature
of off-site and MC should have been properly accessed to
avoid misunderstanding.
Next comes my response to the metaphors of “tree” and
“forest” given by Ir Man, although such response might be
considered no longer needed after the misunderstanding
becomes self-evident and demystified. Hong Kong has
witnessed a general high-speed development mode in
the past half a century. That was partly attributed to the
development and application of many innovations and
technologies such as precast concrete technology for
public housing development. This technology undoubtedly
contributed significantly to the housing supply in the city,
enjoying the cheap labour and policy support in the then
Pearl River Delta now called the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Nevertheless, sacrifices came along such as the loss or at
least insufficient retention of intellectual properties affiliated
with the reallocated manufacturing capabilities outside
Hong Kong and the lack of procurement bargaining power
due to the increasingly rigid supply chains, which are
coupled with the threats of the rising labour cost in the GBA
and the shifting focus of the manufacturing industry in the
GBA towards the domestic market driven by the national
“dual circulation” strategy. In particular, off-site construction
has been a national policy in recent years, inspiring a large
number of innovations and technologies for not only
off-site itself but also green and digital, widely perceived
to be leaving the counterpart practices in Hong Kong
well behind. MiC is a disruptive innovation developed in
Hong Kong and, despite its introduction only since 2017,
has already demonstrated its rich benefits for and vigorous
life in Hong Kong development. As of February 2021,
there had been 31 MiC systems granted with the Buildings
Department’s in-principle acceptance and dozens of MiC
projects completed or under planning, design or delivery
in Hong Kong. This is a competitive edge that the Hong

Kong construction industry should firmly grasp and fully
capitalise on. Nevertheless, it is wise not to overstate MiC as a
panacea, now or ever. Different types of off-site construction
technologies at the four levels listed above have their own
merits and applicability, eg for buildings and infrastructures.
This is further elaborated below.
At the HKIE Building Division Annual Seminar on 8 April 2019
I had an opportunity to explain the relation between MiC
and off-site construction, eg that MiC is the highest level of
the off-site construction spectrum, hence game-changing
and disruptive rather than incremental (Pan, 2019). MiC
should be promoted to spearhead the innovation and
technology breakthrough and diffusion in Hong Kong
construction. Shortly after that on 28 May 2019, the
CICID of HKU launched the MiC Strategy Paper entitled
“Modularisation for Modernisation: A Strategy Paper
Rethinking Hong Kong Construction” , in which we defined
the three words of MiC as:
“The term ‘modular’ is defined herein as the process of
modularising fragmented site-based construction elements,
components and facilities to integrated prefinished modules
to best suit value-driven production and assembly, and
should not be simply understood as 3D volumetric modules
per se.
The term ‘integrated’ is defined herein as the process
of integrating different construction activities and
players in the vertical design and supply chains and of
integrating various functions and stakeholders in the lateral
institutional settings. The integrated process should reflect
the progressive approach to promoting MiC in various
construction sectors such as hostel, hotel and housing
in an appropriate roadmap to address their strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and challenges. The integrated
process should also avoid regarding MiC as a technical
approach per se, but embrace it within the legislative,
economic, social, and technological contexts.
The term ‘construction’ is defined herein as the life cycle
based whole process covering planning, design, production,
construction, facility management, but not site construction
per se, so as to allow pre-site virtual building engaging BIM for
mitigated risks and post-site smart feedback engaging IoT for
enhanced accountability.” (Pan et al., 2019, Page 23)
With the definitions set forth above, the MiC approach
should easily find its solid ground in infrastructures too, and
open up new opportunities for various off-site construction
technologies.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hong Kong construction has surely rich strengths but also
clear weaknesses, and golden opportunities but also
alarming threats, in the face of the changing climate of
the city itself, the GBA and globally. What is perceived as
“the lush forest” in Ir Man’s views might become a barren
land - not the “barren rock with hardly a house upon it”
remarked in the colonial history - but one with little inspiring
innovation which would certainly mismatch the highly
ranked infrastructure and development of the city. Thus,
here comes a golden time for us to fully embrace innovation
and technology spearheaded by MiC, and probably the
only time.
Last but not the least, I would like to reiterate the “MiC
Innovating Higher” model that covers the four themes of
“higher-rise, higher-density, higher-tech, and higher-co-
creation” for the future MiC development, which the HKIE
Building Division offered me to present at its Annual Seminar
in 2019. This model became the theme of the International
Conference on MiC organised on 27 August 2019 and
honoured by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR. It is good to
“keep an open mind” but only when there is yet any focal
point. However, clearly now we have got one, and needed
is MiC to spearhead at full pace.

Development of green hydrogen:
The key to viable carbon-free economy
Notice: The HKIE does not pre-approve any CPD activities/courses. In regard to the academic requirements for membership of the HKIE, please refer to the accredited programmes listed in the HKIE website.
By Ir Billy CHEUNG
People were certainly haunted by the explosive hydrogen
image of the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. Since then, use of
hydrogen (based on fossil fuels, steam methane reformation
or gasification of coal or lignite) had been confined to
industrial feedstock. However, green hydrogen produced by
renewables via electrolysis and water molecules splitting is
now emerging as a viable green fuel globally.
In accordance with the Paris Agreement, the global
economy must be fully scaled up to green technology to
achieve net zero carbon emission by 2050. In this regard,
migration from a hydrocarbon-based energy to a green
hydrogen economy is crucial. Many countries in Europe, Asia
and North America have recently issued green hydrogen
roadmaps and strategies as well as commitment to broaden
investment into green hydrogen solutions.
On the other hand, the decline of solar and wind energy
costs (the global Levelised Cost of Electricity for wind and
solar has been reduced by 0.35 - 0.39 HK$/kWh from 2009
to 2017, representing 67% - 86% reduction) with associated
advantages, has significantly boosted

renewable generation to power the electrolysis plants that
split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The production of
green hydrogen also helps to solve the intermittency issue
that plagues wind and solar power, with efficient storage.
Moreover, green hydrogen and fuel cell (reversing
electrolysis process) technologies have been significantly
upgraded in terms of efficiency, durability, reliability, and
affordability since the last fuel cell boom in the early 2000s.
As such, green hydrogen is taking off around the globe.
Global transition towards electric mobility solutions has
also paved way for adoption of green hydrogen to provide
solutions for long-range zero-emission applications.
While wind and solar energy can provide electricity for
buildings and vehicles, green hydrogen could be an ideal
power source for energy-intensive industries including
hard-to-electrify sectors, long-haul trucking, aviation and
heavy manufacturing.
In Hong Kong, the Chief Executive announced the objective
of carbon neutrality by 2050 during the Policy Address in
November 2020. In the current context of regional green
finance and investment momentum, developing green
hydrogen is a great opportunity and the best choice for
a carbon-free economy in Hong Kong. Therefore, the
Government, in concerted action with stakeholders, needs
to urgently formulate green hydrogen strategy. This should
include wider use of renewables on many outlying islands
and incentives for commercial electrolyser fuel cell products.

smarter, more resilient, and more environmentally friendly.
He is currently leading two major research projects in these
areas, one of which is the development of smart pavement
systems. The seminar was conducted live on Zoom and was
accessible to the public. The webinar consisted of two parts:
the presentation from Prof Wang and a subsequent question-
and-answer session.
Prof Wang started his presentation by introducing his research
team and acknowledging the sponsors of his research. He
pointed out that pavements and roofs constitute over 60%
of urban surfaces. He then shared some problems relating to
current urban pavements which include structure durability,
surface durability and the unique constraints on construction
methods in the urban environment.

Ms Lian highlighted how new mobility in cities could be
realised as she took the audience through the basics of the
levels of vehicle autonomy. Autonomous and electric vehicles
are key players in the transformation of mobility since they
could bring several benefits to cities.
She emphasised that although the new mobility system is
mainly driven by technologies, new technologies could be
the solutions themselves. There should be an integrated and
user-centric design approach when it comes to adopting
technologies so that they satisfy the needs of the public in
a sustainable manner. Ms Lian then finished off her part of the
presentation with the provision of data insights and revenue

and environmentally friendly transport systems by adopting
innovation information and communication technologies.
He proposed a solution to the problems of urban pavements
which would adopt prefabricated structures built on the
principles of automatic prefabrication and construction.
Prof Wang also highlighted the key features of the
prefabricated pavement. An integrated porous pavement
system is demonstrated to allow surface water to be diverted
in order to avoid water stagnation. He also listed out the
tests that could be done to ensure the performance and
resistance of the proposed prefabricated pavement.
He concluded the seminar with various future directions and
perspectives which would potentially improve the current
pavement product.

Volunteer service - Partner reading with
underprivileged children
By Mr Keith LEUNG and Mr Tim CHO
It is said that stories can ignite the imagination and curiosity
of children, which is important. The saying proved to be true
at the storytelling workshop “童心同行伴讀計劃” of the Young
Women Christian Association (YWCA), which was full of
laughter and happiness, held on 30 October 2020 during
a Zoom meeting jointly organised by the Mechanical, Marine,
Naval Architecture and Chemical Committee.
The event started with an interactive presentation on the
duties of an engineer. This deepened the understanding of
both the children and their parents’ and aroused their interest
towards engineering.
Then the committee held a storytelling session (Book: Strange
Tales from Pu Songling). The children were invited to role-play
the characters and narrate the story. The children actively
contributed and presented a very interesting plot. Through
this session, mutual learning between the volunteers and the
children was achieved.

project examples in real life, and codified provisions on crack
width limits.
The fourth part was on thermal modelling and crack analysis.
Dr Zhou presented the mechanisms of thermal and shrinkage
crack formation, numerical modelling of temperature
distribution and thermal stresses in concrete structures with
variable thickness, mix proportions, raw materials, placing
temperature, ambient conditions, movement restraints,
formwork/insulation and cooling pipe systems, crack analysis
and control measures, and project examples.
The inspiring seminar and webinar ended with a vibrant
question-and-answer session. On behalf of the MT Division
and all the participants, we would like to thank Dr Zhou for his
informative and impressive presentation.
Later, the volunteers were divided into three sub-groups to
play games with the children. As part of the activities, the
volunteers were able to build a harmonious relationship and
team spirit with the children. The event ended with a song
and dance performance by the children.
Despite the online nature of the workshop, both volunteers
and children found the event so satisfying and fruitful that
they didn’t want to say goodbye until the last minute.
The event was very rewarding. Volunteers learned a lot from
the interaction with children. It is hoped that more helping
hands and care could be provided to underprivileged
children.

By Mr Alvin K W SZE
As engineers, we often meet with people from different
backgrounds, and we also have to organise public
engagements and consultation events to obtain views from
the community.
On 20 February 2021, the Young Members Committee (YMC)
and the Continuing Professional Development Committee
(CPDC) jointly organised the captioned workshop. Ms Laura
Cozijnsen, Founder of Lighthouse Consultant Limited, was
invited to deliver the webinar.
In the first session, the role of facilitator was introduced.
Ms Cozijnsen consolidated the duties of a facilitator, including
(1) keeping an energetic voice to motivate participants,
(2) asking appropriate questions to guide the discussion,
(3) smiling all the time, bridge-building and interacting with
participants, (4) sensing the atmosphere of the events through
the response of participants, and (5) task-making to ensure all
objectives are covered . By making use of polling and chat
box, she demonstrated how to adopt the functions of online
meeting tools to encourage interaction in a virtual meeting.
For the second session, the fundamental skills of being
an effective facilitator were delivered. Among the skills,
she emphasised the importance of first impressions, as it

happens with just a glance and the impression will stay in the
audience’s mind.
To make a good first impression, she highlighted the key
factors, including aggressiveness, competence, confidence
and trustworthiness, etc. In addition, she demonstrated
the use of body language, verbal skills, and the power of
language to engage the participants, like using “we” instead
of “you” and using positive words instead of negative words.
Also, during virtual meeting, the camera should capture our
face and hands, so we can make good use of our body
language.
For the last session, suggestions on asking good questions
were covered. There may be a question-and-answer session
at the end of an event or a session. A good question should
be on topic and relevant to the speaker’s experiences or
interests. Also, open-ended follow-up questions can be asked
to ignite a new conversation.
This workshop served as an introductory course on being an
effective facilitator, and will surely help young members to
host meetings and events in their daily work.
Ir Chan initiated an interactive Table Topics Session, and invited
the audience to share the challenges they faced and the skills
they learned when managing engineering projects. The topics
also covered the legal responsibilities of engineers, document
traceability as well as communication skills with various project
stakeholders.

Obituary
In memory of Ir Dr NIP Kam Fan
The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers expresses deep
sorrow over the passing away of Ir Dr Nip Kam Fan in
Vancouver, Canada on 13 March 2021 at the age of
88.
Ir Dr Nip obtained his BSc degree in civil engineering
with first-class honours awarded by The University of
Hong Kong in 1956. As a distinguished pioneer in traffic
engineering, Ir Dr Nip took a vital role in developing
systematic traffic and transport planning in Hong Kong
in the 1960’s. He was instrumental in the setting up of
the Traffic and Transport Survey Division in the former
Public Works Department.
Ir Dr Nip was also a forerunner in urban planning and
development. He instigated public consultation in
the planning of major urban construction initiatives
and this had later become a standard practice in
pursuing urban development. As head of the Urban
Areas Development Office, he adapted the new
town project management system in spearheading
development projects in the urban areas and this had
culminated to the transformation of the New Territories
Development Department to eventually become
Territory Development Department. During his tenure
as the Director of Engineering Development, Director
of Civil Engineering Services, and later Director of the
NOTICES TO MEMBERS
Territory Development from 1989 until his retirement
in 1992, he had made profound contributions to the
urbanisation of Hong Kong.
After his retirement, Ir Dr Nip continued to serve the
society in a variety of ways. The development of the
infrastructure of the Haven of Hope Hospital was one of
the remarkable exemplars of Ir Dr Nip’s contributions to
the community.
Ir Dr Nip was a person who endeavoured tirelessly
in pursuit of knowledge. Together with his first BSc
degree in Civil Engineering and two Honorary
Fellowship Degrees, he had also obtained a total of
ten degrees including one Doctoral Degree and two
Master’s Degrees, in a wide spectrum of intellectual
areas including humanities, science, Mathematics,
Economics, religion in addition to engineering.
Ir Dr Nip served the HKIE as the Chairman to the Training
Review Sub-Committee from 1996 to 2001. Whilst the
Institution is greatly indebted to Ir Dr Nip for his long
years of service to the Institution, his contributions to
nurturing young talents for the engineering profession
and the development of Hong Kong, we would like to
offer our deepest condolences to his family.

Responses to the Budget 2021-22
The Financial Secretary delivered the
Budget 2021-22 on 24 February 2021. I am
pleased that the Budget had adopted
many of the suggestions of mine, in
particular those regarding HK$5,000
electronic consumption vouchers,
providing subsidy for Real Estate Investment
Trusts to list in Hong Kong, subsidising
drainage repair works in old buildings,
reviving local group tours, etc.
Urged the Government to
relax cross border travel with
vaccination record
On 23 February 2021, together with some
other members from LegCo and the
business sector, I urged the Government to
allow holders of certifications of negative
result of the nucleic acid test on COVID-19
after vaccination to be exempted from
compulsory quarantine when they travel
from Hong Kong to the Mainland. The
“Vaccination Pass” can provide incentives
for Hong Kong citizens to participate in the
vaccination programme, and help restart
economic and trade flow between two
places.
