The designed jacking force was 36,000 kN to counteract the
frictional force between the RTBM and tunnel segments and
the surrounding soil, as well as excavation frontal pressure.
During excavation, a screw conveyor transported the
excavated soil backwards via the launching shaft into a muck

Cementaid Hydrophobic Pore-blocking Ingredients (HPI’s)
Everdure CALTITE, 3CC & AQUAPEL HPI’s:
The Way to Better Concrete Enabling Sustainable Construction and Development
The production of a tonne of Portland cement - the most common type - releases about
a tonne of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The cement industry is estimated to
contribute not less than 7 percent of the global human production of carbon dioxide.
In plain concrete mixes (without HPI), very high levels of cement/binder are used to reduce
the water and salt-penetrability of the concrete and so try to extend its durability / design-
life. Despite this, however, these concretes typically still do not achieve Design-life Durability
[e.g. 50 Years marine environment], owing to their relatively high Absorption values.
HPI concrete needs less cement to achieve Design-life Durability. Cementaid’s HPI’s
enable Reduction of cement contents by 100KG/m3 to 350Kg/m3 while achieving Above & below - Hydrophobic Matrix®

concrete placed.
WITHOUT CALTITE
So what are the “carbon-numbers” for lower-cement HPI Mixes and what do
they mean?
Example: Driving a car to work 10 Kms per day for a year releases 1 tonne of CO2.
Assuming an HPI-Cement reduction of 100Kgs of cement per cubic metre of concrete in
a particular application (e.g. 480 Kg/m3 reduced to 380Kg/m3):
That means for every 10m3 of this HPI Concrete Mix placed:
- One tonne (10x100Kgs) of cement is saved,

after 42 years
- CO2 is reduced by approx. one tonne,
- EQUIVALENT to one “10 km/day car” taken off the road for a year. Above & below - BHP / SA WATER PIPELINE;
Tidal salt pans, Whyalla, S. Aust.
For every 1,000 m3 “Evergreen” concrete placed;

- C02 is reduced by approx. 100 tonnes WITH CALTITE
- Equivalent to 100 cars off the road for a year.
HPI’s are also designed to be completely effective and FULLY COMPATIBLE with cement
replacement / Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) (PFA, ggbfs, silica fume,
etc.), which are themselves waste products from other industries (e.g. coal-fired power
stations, etc.).
The inherently dry, permanently waterproof properties of Cementaid’s HPI concretes

allow these mixes to be used for waterproofing of submerged hollow structures (e.g.
basements) as well roofs, pools and decks, where high-carbon / high landfill products after 40 years
such as (petrochemical-based) waterproof membranes would otherwise be required to
be applied.
Other major environmental benefits & advantages accrue from the elimination of hundreds
of thousands of tonnes / millions of square meters per annum of petrochemical-based or
asphaltic-based material (from damaged or replaced roof-membranes) being disposed
into rapidly diminishing land-fill sites around the world.

創新‧成‧蛻變), which seeks to draw from the combined
talents and ample experiences of all HKIE members to create
a roadmap to identify funding, support and assistance for
realising members’ innovative ideas.
As the opening move of the programme for developing

members’ innovation skills, two experienced professionals/
investors were invited to deliver two webinars in January 2021
which were well-received with enthusiastic responses from

the role of Hong Kong as well as the regional development.
He further elaborated upon the abundant opportunities
arose with infrastructure development and digitalisation in
GBA towards the goal to construct an interconnected region
characterised by 5G network, the Internet of things, high-
speed railway and quantum communication.
A detailed discussion was also given by Prof Hung to pinpoint

the collaboration of technical expertise and professional
management between the construction and engineering
related industry of other cities in GBA and Hong Kong,
especially for the arrangements in Qianhai Shenzhen-

Kong, and the importance of striking a balance between
data sharing and privacy.

In the other webinar held on 29 January 2021, the speaker,
Mr Duncan Chiu, Managing Director of Radiant Venture

Mr Chan then introduced the ESIX L2 Overlay (tunnelling)

technology for mobile networks and showed how it could
be implemented as a common bridge between 5G and
various industrial devices. The Overlay provides “seamless
connectivity” while the vehicle is moving in a compound and
switches seamlessly between different mobile networks, that
is 4G/5G. In this way, a seamless and stable communications
tunnel enables real-time remote control and supervision of
vehicles.

GO GREEN
We conduct our business with environmental responsibility in mind –

for a greener future, for our younger generations.
As Hong Kong’s oldest energy utility, our pioneering green initiatives date as far back as the early
70s, when we began using naphtha rather than heavy oil and coal to produce town gas. In 2006,
we took another significant step forward, when we introduced natural gas as a feedstock in
addition to naphtha. To foster the use of renewable energy, we have also added landfill gas to our
energy mix for local gas production. Looking forward, we are committed to the ongoing exploration
and supply of clean energy to ensure a green and sustainable future for our young people and the
generations to come.
