2018 Year End Message ICE200 - Civil Engineers Protect and Transform Lives by Prof CK Mak, GBS, JP, ICE Vice President International 31 December 2018, Hong Kong

Lord Mair giving Opening Remarks Lord Mair meeting Curacao Minister at GEC Week

Grateful thanks to ICE Breaker editor’s very kind invitation for the opportunity to write you at the end of the ICE Bicentenary year. I am absolutely delighted to report to you the ICE celebratory events in 2018. May I first wish you and your families a joyous, progressive and blessed New Year.

Looking back at ICE200, 2018 has been an exciting year both in and in HK. With the full suite of activities starting at the beginning of the year, ICE HKA was proud to kick off the celebration on 12 January with the ICE Innovation Summit on Transform and Protect Lives. This was followed by the building of the World’s Longest Span Bridge with LEGO® Bricks in March and April. The record-breaking LEGO® bridge was displayed at the Elements shopping mall for a month during Easter attracting hundreds of thousands of the general public – a great demonstration of the work and contribution of the civil engineers.

HKA also organised a series of three Distinguished Lectures and an ICE200 Commemorative Board Game Design Competition. All these were to highlight the ICE200 theme. Local members would already have shared many of the exciting moments of the HK events.

The highlight of ICE200 was the Global Engineering Congress (GEC) held from 22 to 26 October 2018 in ICE Headquarters at One Great George Street, London. Hosted by ICE, and led by WFEO in association with ASCE, CSCE, ECCE and CEC under the patronage of UNESCO, GEC attracted over 3,500 delegates from 82 countries alongside with 18 government delegations. They attended the week-long Congress and listened to some 200 speakers sharing their vision and insight.

As Nathan Baker, ICE’s Director of Engineering Knowledge pointed out,

“The Congress generated energy, enthusiasm and passion. The audience was far more diverse and inclusive than any I have seen in the Institution. Ministers and students exchanged ideas in an open forum. Investors set out, with great clarity, just how the power of engineering can be harnessed to address the challenges of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”

GEC was truly a global gathering. Five of the Seventeen UN SDGs had been chosen as the theme of the Congress. The outcome of GEC will help pave the next step forward for the engineering profession. ICE has agreed to coordinate with other global Institutions to develop a continuous programme of activities on how to take the GEC initiatives, views and insights from agenda to action.

GEC was also an excellent opportunity for delegates around the world to meet up for exchange and networking. In my role as ICE’s VP International, I was able to have face-to-face discussions with many delegates. This has added to my one-year experience in the VP position. In the international arena, the highly successful GEC clearly demonstrated ICE’s role in the global engineering community. With 25% of ICE’s 92,000 members being international members outside the UK, ICE has provided professional knowledge to engineers over a vast area and in return ICE has good support from this international membership. I further found that over half of the 23,000 strong international members are students and graduates. This is significant as they are the new blood of the Institution. That makes knowledge transfer, training and development to nurture the prospective young engineers to become mature professionals so much important.

Taking part in ICE international business has allowed me to gain a deeper insight into ICE’s global perspective. As a learned society, Knowledge and Qualifications are the two pillars of ICE. Though not mutually exclusive, the focus and strategies in dealing with these two aspects in international matters are different – the regional specifics vary from place to place in different parts of the world. I am now working with the ICE International Committee members to develop a new approach to international engagement. I will report to members once we have a firm plan.

I should further mention that from the international perspective, HK stands out as the largest and most energetic group. With HK membership now approaching 7,000, it is a pleasing sign to see senior and young members actively participating in a wide range of activities throughout the year. Thanks to the various division chairs and committee members who have dedicated great efforts in organising activities with innovative ideas to enhance the ICE mission and knowledge transfer. Hong Kong’s experience is unique. It would well be a useful reference for other international regions.

All in all, we saw 2018 a fruitful and rewarding year for our Institution’s Bicentenary. A Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate “The Year of Engineering 2018” was held on 22 November at Westminster Abbey. This was the final event of ICE200 in London.

A Historical Note jointly presented by The Right Honourable Chris Grayling, Secretary of State for Transport, Prof Dame Ann Dowling, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering and ICE President Andrew Wyllie at the Service opened with the following quotation by Isaac Asimov,

“Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world”.

The Note also stated that

“Appropriately, the Year of Engineering 2018 coincides with the bicentenary of the ICE. Anniversaries are by their nature an opportunity to look back on the past. However, it is equally important to recognize that engineering is very much alive, vibrant, thrilling: a constantly evolving force for good in our society and one that is central to meeting the demands of the future. We all have a duty to inspire the next generation with the variety and excitement of an engineering career, …”

Indeed, the 200 years history of ICE has already demonstrated that Engineers transform lives. We, engineers, all know that. We do not need to convince ourselves. Government officials, politicians and the media also understand the benefits engineers bring. So, the focus of ICE200 is on the general public. We seek to convince those sectors of the general public who do not know the effect civil engineers have on their day to day lives. We also want to attract the next generation of engineers, making it clear to them that civil engineering is a creative and rewarding career full of fun.

Back in HK, ICE HKA concluded ICE200 by the Finale Distinguished Lecture held on 18 December. I was distinctly honoured to be invited to participate in the Lecture. Driven by a desire to build and strengthen the bonds between students, young engineers and the more experienced seniors, I invited three progressive engineers to join me in delivering this Lecture, which was entitled “Civil Engineers Protect and Transform Lives – Professionalism, Passion & Preparedness”. They are Florence Ko, Angel Ho and Max Ng.

This was an exploratory attempt and I think it worked out satisfactorily. The experience CK Mak & Patrick Chan at GEC Lord Mair with ASCE and CSCE Presidents of this presentation method could encourage more collaborative attempts in future. Suffice to say here, the theme of the Lecture had been well reflected by the endnotes given by the three collaborative speakers:

Florence on Professionalism - Egyptians built the Pyramids with “professional” skills. In our modern era, apart from the skill set, we shall always strive for excellence, and remember that as problem solvers, we have to apply our knowledge with the highest integrity, and to communicate with the general public the choices they can choose from, and always be bold to take up new challenges and trust we can make a change for the better future.

Angel on Passion - Stay modest and (know) how big we really are to the world as there are so much more going on outside our small circle. But at the same time, do not underestimate our capacity for change. With our knowledge, the willingness and the initiative to take on a little small step, it would perhaps, create a small impact that could spread to the people around us, and that would eventually make the real change. Finale ICE200 Distinguished Lecture held on Max on Preparedness - We, engineers in HK, are fortunate to witness, or even to have 18 December 2018 at HKU taken part in numerous engineering projects, often, seeing the whole engineering process from inception to completion. Our infrastructure is envied by many for their reliability and resilience. World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) called for actions. We do not know when it is the best moment, until too late. I firmly believe that as engineers, we have to be alert, agile and be prepared to take prompt actions in all our involvements.

200 years ago, our engineering forefathers founded the world’s oldest professional engineering institution. Since then we saw the contribution of the professional engineers transforming the lives of so many people in the world. As members of this great Institution, it is altogether fitting that we should celebrate the past 200 years, inspire the next 200 and help build a sustainable future.

Besides meeting the demand of air transport in the coming decades, these projects also established Hong Kong to become the major transportation hub within the Eastern part of Asia and provide opportunity for trade and exhibition services. The detail planning framework for railway, highway, land use, urban renewal and other sustainable development also benefited the citizens of Hong Kong in a strategic manner.

To achieve the envisaged target, Mr Blake explained the importance of the other two key pointers, which are Command and Control and Trust and Transparency. He shared his experiences in coordinating projects in his varied capacities working for government, consultants Panel discussion of the second ICE Bicentenary Distinguished Lecture and contractors respectively.

Time to change by Ms Eva Kong

“Time to Change” seminar jointly organised by ICE and Development Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government was carried out on 29 November 2018 with over 250 people attended.

Construction industries in both the UK and Hong Kong have been facing various challenges: high construction cost, low productivity and lack of innovation. Both the UK and Hong Kong realised that it is Time to Change.

In 2018 , the Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR Government has announced the launching of a new initiative “Construction 2.0” (www.hkc2.hk) to enhance the capacity and sustainability of the construction industry to address the future challenges through three pillars – Innovation, Professionalisation and Revitalisation. Mr Lam Sai-hung JP, Permanent Secretary for Development (Works) affirmed the vision of this new initiative and also joined with him the leaders for the four pilot projects (Ms Winnie Ho, Deputy Director of Architectural Services Department; Mr Mak Ka Wai, Deputy Director of Drainage Services Department; Mr Luk Wai Hung, Assistant Director of Water Supplies Department; Mr Alex Kwan, Executive Director of Airport Authority Hong Kong) showing the project intent on implementing Construction 2.0.

In 2015, the UK Infrastructure Client Group in collaboration with ICE initiated the Project 13 which seeks to develop a new business model to delivery high performing infrastructure in UK (www.p13.org.uk). It is a client-led reform campaign to transform the way we deliver infrastructure and create a sustainable supply chain. In the event, two members of Project 13 Executive Group: Mr Richard Threlfall – Global Head of Infrastructure KPMG International and Mr Nick Baveystock – ICE Director General, introduced Project 13 and its development as well as the progress of the early adopters. Richard mentioned that “whole life value for money is what we are trying to achieve, not simply the lowest cost for delivering the assets.” “It is not about the output but the outcome we want to achieve.” Nick shared that Project 13 is a cultural change. The challenges would be around the internal structure changes, capacity constraints and to build trust.

At the end of the event, the two UK speakers, the four pilot projects leaders and Mr John Kwong, Head of Project Cost Management Office joined on stage for an interactive panel discussion, facilitating by Mr Vincent Connor, Head of Pinsent Masons Hong Kong. To summarise, the panelists believed this transformation required the support from top to bottom of the industry as well as from various government departments.

Odyssey – the award-winning ICE200 board game designs by Ms Carrie Cheung

The games promote civil engineering to young people in a creative way.

ICE Hong Kong Association (HKA) has opened an exhibition that displays the award-winning designs of a board game competition that ran as part of the Institution’s 200th anniversary. The public exhibition, ‘200 Years of Civil Engineering Excellence’, was held at PMQ, a historic venue in Hong Kong.

It features all the successful entries from the ICE Bicentenary Board Game Design Competition, including the overall winning game, Odyssey, which was designed by Arup. At the opening of the exhibition in October 2018, ICE Regional Director for Hong Kong, Ms Eva Kong explained that the aim of the competition and exhibition was to promote civil engineering to the young generation in a creative and interesting way. Children were invited to perform a live demonstration of Odyssey, which has been produced as the ICE200 souvenir board game. They wore costumes, cast two giant dices and jumped around on a life-size version of the game map.

10 ICE Breaker – 2018 Issue 2 Knowledge – Hong Kong Association

The exhibition

The exhibition ran from 20 October to 19 November 2018 in Room S201 of PMQ, Aberdeen Street, Central.

A range of free activities took place at the exhibition. Visitors were able to have a hands-on trial of all the winning designs, learn from the game tutors on Saturdays and Sundays, and take photos with cartoons of the Hong Kong Invisible Superheroes.

Odyssey, the ICE200 board game

Odyssey is a snakes and ladders-style game with an engineering twist that highlights how civil engineers have influenced the world over the last 200 years.

It draws together many world-renowned structures and infrastructure, embedding elements of natural disasters symbolising the impact of nature on our lives, and also how the work of civil engineers shapes our built environment, improves our quality of life, and strengthens our resilience.

How to order and how to play Odyssey

Odyssey can be ordered online at HK$150 per game, (including free delivery to a Hong Kong commercial address).

An additional delivery charge will apply for deliveries outside Hong Kong. Order will be dispatched within 1 week upon receipt or payment.

ICE HKA United Arab Emirates Delegation 2018 “From desert to metropolis - road to 2020 and beyond” by Ms Amy Wong

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an ever eye-catching country in the engineering industry which is known for its man-made wonders. With the theme “From Desert to Metropolis – Road to 2020 and Beyond”, this delegation served as a thought-provoking international platform for engineers to think creatively and globally. The 7-day delegation held from 27 October to 2 November 2018 covered a number of visits to miraculous infrastructure that are built or under construction, and sharing sessions with local organisation and companies.

The delegation started off with a visit to Dubai’s landmark, Burj Khalifa. Named the “World’s Tallest Building”, this 828m tall skyscraper is in a spiraling Y-shape, which has both aesthetic and structural functions. A design derived from a desert flower Hymenocallis is developed into a structural system termed “buttressed core”, that consists of a strong hexagonal central core buttressed by three wings. The central core provides torsional resistance while the wings resist wind shear and moment, resulting in a robust but efficient structure. Extensive wind tunnel tests were conducted to examine the effects of wind on building loading, behavior and occupant comfort.

Burj Khalifa has redefined what is possible in the engineering of supertall building. And yet, the UAE is not satisfied with only one iconic superstructure. Many fascinating projects are evolving in this country and we got the chance to visit some of them.

On Day 3 of the Delegation, a visit to Arcadis and The Dubai Frame was arranged. Being the Structural Designer, Arcadis explained to us the design and construction details of this iconic 150m tall and 93m wide hollow, gold plated frame. Believed to be the world’s largest picture frame, the Frame offers panoramic views of the city’s best-known architectural landmarks, both old and new. On one side stand historic locales such as Bastakiya, Bur Dubai, Karama, and Deira. Turn around and the “New Dubai” where the hyper-modern skyscrapers dominate comes into view.

12 ICE Breaker – 2018 Issue 2 Knowledge – Hong Kong Association

The deliberately slender design of the towers, 150m in height with minor axis h/d ratio of 16, has posed design and construction challenges to this unique project. Founded on 2m deep raft with 43 nos. of 1m diameter wide, 40m deep piles socketed into rock, the slender towers are highly sensitive to wind. Considering the aerodynamic instability and vortex shedding effects, the Frame has undergone several wind tunnel tests to come up with the present trapezoidal shape and perforated paneling that reduce the overall wind loads.

“See the Future, Create the Future”, a tag line of the Museum of the Future we visited during our delegation, also a summary of the insights we gained from the delegation. The UAE proves to be a place where marvelous ideas are brought to life, and where inspiration continues to be the backbone of engineering success. On behalf of ICE HKA, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the companies and organisation for arranging these fruitful visits and sharing sessions.

ICE200 Shaping Our Future City by Mr Max Ng

The ICE HKA G&S organised a half-year campaign “ICE 200 Shaping Our Future City” from February to July 2018. The campaign culminated with a presentation-cum-exhibition in a local infrastructure gallery in Central which received more than 7,000 public visitors.

53 secondary school students from nine secondary schools explored the world of civil engineering and the Hong Kong 2030+ planning strategy with the guidance of 40 passionate civil engineering graduates and students. They visited construction sites such as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Shatin-to-Central Link, as well as infrastructures like Tsing Ma Bridge and water treatment works. Students also had the chance to gain insights of their future challenges and civil engineers’ approach to problem-solving and helping people in need from engineers in local industry and humanitarian missions. Educational games were held to enrich their technical knowledge in civil engineering as well as enhancing their communication and presentation skills.

To consolidate learning and inspire thoughts towards future challenges, students were tasked with working out a proposal in railway design and village development with due consideration of site constraints and stakeholders. An exhibition was held at City Gallery in Central to showcase students’ work alongside the final presentation. It also introduced the ICE, local infrastructure projects and university degrees to amplify impact to the public and provoke discussion in the city’s future. The students’ excellent presentations were acclaimed by the ICE Representative for Hong Kong, Mr CK Hon, GBS JP, and three prestigious judges in local engineering and planning professions.

During the two weeks, over 7,000 people learned the students’ ideas to shape the future city and civil engineering. “The campaign not only allowed the students to have their first tastes of civil engineering, but also reminded me of my motivation for joining this profession” said Ms Irene Ngai, Chairman of the Organising Committee.

This first-year campaign was sponsored by Ove Arup and Partners (Hong Kong) Limited and Urban Renewal Authority and supported by the Development Bureau, Works Departments of the Hong Kong Government and various tertiary institutions.

ICE200 UK delegation by Mr Zep Wong

ICE 200 UK Delegation was successfully held from 3 to 11 November 2018. With the theme “Smart, Green, Resilient”, this delegation to the UK focused on the improvement of sustainability and resilience of infrastructure in Edinburgh and London. The delegates have learnt the advanced and innovative civil engineering technologies and practices adopted by the British civil engineers to tackle social problems and other engineering challenges. They had a fruitful journey in which they met fellow civil engineers from various organisations and gained insights into the local infrastructure projects.

Driven by the population growth and ageing of civil engineering works in London and Edinburgh, there are numerous new infrastructure projects in the UK to satisfy the incessant demand for energy, water and transportation services. For examples, the delegates were inspired by the application of construction and operation technologies at Falkirk Wheel, an iconic wheel which connects the Forth & Clyde and Union Canal. The visit to the three bridges at the Firth of Forth showcased the advanced engineering designs from three different eras. The Forth Bridge is the world’s first major steel structure and still holds the record as the world’s longest cantilever bridge.

After arriving in London, the delegates attended the Presidential Address at the ICE Headquarters. Andrew Wyllie CBE, ICE’s new president, began his address by highlighting the Global Engineering Congress (GEC) and the crucial role of ICE’s In Plain Sight report. He then outlined five core principles to ICE’s future success. One of the key messages was that ICE members should remember their clear purpose of improving lives in the global society. The delegates have gained deeper understanding about the core values of ICE and the role of civil engineers in the global society. They also visited the ICE Library and explored the collection of civil engineering resources there.

Moreover, the delegates learnt about the improvement and redevelopment sewage treatment system by visiting the Crossness Sewage Treatment Plant. The delegates learnt the pros and cons of the sewage treatment system in the UK and compared with the Stanley Sewage Treatment Works in Hong Kong. The delegates also visited Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site. This project addressed a lot of challenges during the design and construction due to the complex ground condition under London. Mott Macdonald’s representative also provided a fruitful design and construction experience sharing session.

In addition, the delegates have visited various organisations in London for a better understanding of the local engineering practices. Ove Arup, taking a leading role in the construction industry, gave a comprehensive design experience sharing session on the Crossrail project. Ove Arup’s engineers explained the design challenges and construction obstacles for this large-scale underground development in a well-developed city. Furthermore, the delegates also learnt about the corresponding solutions and preventive measures to mitigate the impact on the surroundings during the construction period.

Delegates also visited the Transport for London (TfL) headquarters. TfL is an integrated transport authority running the daily operation of London’s public transport network and managing the capital’s main roads. It demonstrates the government’s ambition to enhance the travelling experience for the passengers, drivers and pedestrians.

After that, the delegates met with the committee of ICE’s Graduate and Student Network (GSNet). GSNet organised a visit to the Coal Drop Yard, a redevelopment project at King’s Cross. This project demonstrated how historical infrastructure facilities still managed to find their places in modern society. The delegates have also visited the construction site of Google headquarters near King’s Cross. The delegates had a great sharing session with the committee of GSNet at the ICE Headquarters to exchange ideas about the GEC and GSNet’s future development.

In conclusion, the ICE 200 UK Delegation 2018 provided the delegates with the opportunity to look into the construction industry and built environment of the UK. It is hoped that the experience would enlighten the delegates on shaping a better future for Hong Kong.

Future Engineers Project 2018 by Mr Jason Yip

Future Engineers Project 2018 (FEP) was jointly held by ICE HKA G&S, and six other professional groups (IET-YMS, ASCE-YMC, ASHRAE-YMC, IMechE-YMS, AES-YES and HKIPE) on 14 July 2018. FEP has been organised for years to promote engineering, to share scientific knowledge and to identify the significance of engineers in the society to secondary school students.

This year the theme of FEP was ECO-NECT. It aimed to introduce environmental technologies in the construction industry to secondary school students and raised their awareness of environmental issues. We were honoured to have Mr L M Chow, CEO of Construction Industry Council - Zero Carbon Building, to give a fruitful talk about what engineers can do to reduce pollution to our environment. The event was then followed by exciting booth games where students were divided into groups. Throughout the games prepared by each professional institution, students had experience in the latest technology in various areas. In the afternoon, students prepared drama shows to demonstrate how to apply engineering knowledge and the latest technologies in different scenarios.

FEP 2018 has successfully raised students’ interests in engineering and provided a platform for students from different schools to share their views and innovative ideas. G&S social workshop “WARZONE 90” by Ms Irene Ngai

ICE HKA G&S Social Workshop “WARZONE 90” was successfully held on 12 August 2018 at the Humanitarian Education Centre of Hong Kong Red Cross.

In a 90-minute interactive exploration programme, the participants were brought into a ruthless battlefield, through a series of authentic experience and stories. They were able to have a taste of living in a world with armed conflicts and hostility, and to face the horror and misery of war. During the programme, the participants constantly needed to make decisions in line between life and death, which enabled them to experience the taste of despair and the glimpse of hope in war.

At the end of the programme, the experienced facilitators provided a debriefing session to the participants. The participants were invited to share their moments of hope and despair they experienced in the programme. Through the discussion, they were able to perceive humanitarian consequences brought by war and ponder ways to practise humanitarian actions in daily life.

With the success of the workshop, participants expressed that the programme was a unique experience. It allowed them to understand war is not far-reaching and have a deeper understanding of humanitarian mission of “protect human lives, care for the vulnerable and respect human dignity”.
