ICE Breaker Newsletter of ICE 2018 Issue 1 Messages and News Together we can!

ear Fellow members and friends,

D We are now into the final quarter of the 2017/18 session for the ICE HKA committee. It has been a remarkably challenging and fruitful time for the committee. On top of our usual suite of high quality learned society activities, we have been exceedingly bold in launching an ambitious ICE 200 programme around three strands, namely knowledge, branding and inspiration. Our vision for this milestone year of the ICE bicentenary is to enthuse the profession, enhance our public image and inspire the next generation.

Our ICE 200 events are centred around the TECH (ie technology, engineering, climate and humanitarian) themes. Some of our flagship events to date are as follows:

(a) Innovation Summit on 12 January 2018. The Honourable Mrs , Chief Executive of HKSAR Government, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (b) Distinguished Lecture on 13 March 2018 delivered by Dr Robin Sham, CBE, and Dr Ana Ruiz-Teran from Imperial College London. Mr Andrew Heyn, British Consul-General to Hong Kong and Macao, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (c) Grand Opening of the World’s Longest Span LEGO® on 21 March 2018. The Honourable Mr Matthew Cheung, Chief Secretary for Administration, was the Guest of Honour for the Grand Opening Ceremony. About 80 students from 8 schools contributed to pre-assembling the bridge components. The LEGO® bridge was displayed to the public in ELEMENTS for one month. (d) ICE 200 Board Game Design Competition, which attracted more than 300 participants and 26 entries from a wide spectrum of background. (e) ICE 200 technical seminar series entitled “New Advances in Civil Engineering”, with various esteemed overseas and local speakers covering topical issues. (f) Masterclass for Tomorrow’s Global Leaders - over 100 students from 19 local and international schools plus 5 tertiary institutes attended, with Lord Robert Mair, President of ICE, as the keynote speaker. (g) ICE 200 UK delegation, with a team of around 30 practitioners visiting signature sites and University of Cambridge and attending Lord Mair’s Presidential Address at ICE Headquarters building. (h) ICE 200 Shaping Our Future City Campaign, which comprises a series of technical visits, workshops and competition targeting high schools students from 9 schools. All in all, the responses have been very positive. By and large, we have managed to accomplish our mission in impressing the public and the next generation that civil engineering as a profession is characterised by 4Cs – viz. creative, challenging, charismatic and contribution. I can personally testify that each and every flagship ICE 200 event has called for a significant amount of human resources involving committee members, volunteers for the various subcommittees, collaborators, and a considerable number of helpers working tirelessly together in various teams to make the events ‘shine’. I take great pride in the wonderful teamwork and enthusiasm shown by all involved. It was inevitably super hard work, as the vast majority of the team members have a full time job. I am very touched that many members were willing to sacrifice their precious personal time to take up the various tasks on a voluntary basis. I am grateful that so many members, friends and helpers have volunteered their valuable time to contribute unconditionally to this year’s events for the sake of the profession. It is truly gratifying to see that those involved have demonstrated ownership and found great personal satisfaction in the planning and implementation of the various ICE 200 as well as the more routine events. We set out to make a difference and I trust we have quite possibly exceeded expectations. We have somehow managed to deliver these memorable and remarkable ICE 200 events on top of our routine programme without the need for any additional funding from ICE HQ and with very limited human resources. At times, it felt like mission impossible, but the reality is: TOGETHER WE CAN! Special thanks are due to all our committee members, volunteers and sponsors. The next exciting ICE 200 programme in line is the ICE Bicentennial Dinner on 1 June 2018. I sincerely hope that you will continue to show your appreciation and support to our team by being there. The theme of the Bicentennial Dinner is “Invisible Superheroes”. Your strong support of this special and fun-packed event will be a tremendous encouragement to us all. Prof Ken Ho, JP Chairman, Session 2017-18 ICE Hong Kong Association 2 Messages and News Report of Council Member for Hong Kong

t is my honour to represent you in ICE Council. I took up this duty in November last year, and since then I I have attended two council meetings. In the last year, the ICE has worked towards its set strategy and objectives and achieved good results. In the annual strategy meeting held in October 2017 the Council updated its strategy and objectives for 2018. It plans to accelerate progress on the three overriding objectives of growing the membership, providing whole life learning assistance to our members, and identifying and sharing the big issues on infrastructure and civil engineering. The plan for growing the membership is to continue deepening and broadening the membership, becoming more diverse, and growing internationally. Regarding whole life learning it will make available to us relevant knowledge and professional development opportunities at each stage of our careers, feeding us sector insights and organising networking events. For big issues on infrastructure and civil engineering it will complement its existing engineering output with insights into the big social, political, technological and economical trends shaping civil engineering and shape the public and industry agenda for infrastructure and the built environment, although these will primarily be UK focused. The detail plans for these objectives are explained in the Annual Report, which will be released soon. I encourage you to read them when it is available. There are two actions in the report I consider of particular interests to us in Hong Kong. The first is about helping our BEng graduates to demonstrate they have achieved the further learning to Masters Levels requirement of the Engineering Council so as they are eligible to apply the Chartered Professional Review. The ICE will launch an Exam to help them to do so. It will launch the syllabus and start to put in place the necessary processes to deliver the Exam in 2019. The second is about whole-life learning. Keeping accurate and thorough records of our continuing professional development will become obligatory if we vote to accept the change to the By-Laws in June. The ICE will help us meeting this obligation by a Career Guidance Tool, an online platform and an improved CPD recording tool. There are already over 80 technical courses created and put on the pilot online learning platform. All ICE’s library and archive material will be searchable online in 2018. Also, as the ICE celebrates its bicentenary it is preparing for its next two hundred years. It will propose a new governance structure for our decision in June. Please give your support to it. Dr Patrick Chan ICE Council Member for Hong Kong Global Engineering Congress

4 Knowledge - HK Association Presidential Visit in Hong Kong By Ms Eva Kong

rofessor Lord Robert Mair, ICE President (2017-18) and Mr Nick P Baveystock ICE Director General, visited Hong Kong from 10 to 13 January 2018. The President engaged with a wide range of members, industry leaders and students through a full programme of activities. The Presidential Reception was held on 12 January at the Hong Kong Club. 2018 is a special year for the ICE, as we are celebrating the Institution's 200th anniversary. We were honoured that two past presidents and guests from industry, government and academia attended the reception. The ICE200 starburst logo was used as the backdrop for the event. This logo is a powerful and distinct formation of multiple triangles signifying that the success of the ICE is due to the collective effort of engineers and projects over two hundred years, rather than any single person or project. Before the ceremony, guests, engineers and students were invited to bring these triangles together to form the ICE 200 logo, symbolising the contributions which have built the ICE today and to kick off our ICE 200 celebration programme in Hong Kong. The President's speech “Transforming Infrastructure, Transforming Lives – Building on 200 years” addressed how civil engineering has changed radically over the last two hundred years and outlined how civil engineers today are still as innovative and dedicated to solving problems as they were in the past. Tackling today’s challenges such as climate change, population growth and rapid urbanisation is how civil engineers continue to transform millions of peoples’ lives for the better. In his speech, Professor Mair looked at how the profession can use technology to improve infrastructure assets, transforming the industry and the society it serves. He also highlighted the opportunity for civil engineers to solve current global challenges and the need to encourage the next generation to become engineers. After his inspiring speech, he also presented the certificates to five of our newly elected Fellow members: Mr Emmanuel Clech, Mr Jun Kan, Mr Shui Sun Kong, Mr Yik Chong Lam and Mr Hong Sang Shum. During the President’s visit, Professor Lord Mair gave presentations to the British Chamber of Commerce Construction Group and the CIC Innovation and Technology Application Centre. He also officiated the ICE 200 Innovation Summit and the Engineering our Future: Masterclass for Tomorrow’s Global Leaders’ held for secondary school students.

Knowledge - HK Association Masterclass for Tomorrow’s Global Leaders By Mr Yik Chong Lam

iding on the ICE Bicentenary Hong Kong Innovation Summit, the R Masterclass for Tomorrow’s Global Leaders was held on 13 January 2018 at The University of Hong Kong, which echoed the theme of transforming lives, safeguarding families and shaping the future. This one-day Masterclass was attended by over 100 students with some teachers from 19 secondary schools in Hong Kong, together with some selected university students and young graduate engineers. Our ICE President Prof Lord Mair delivered an opening address which inspired the new generation to appreciate how civil engineers could contribute our efforts to shape a better world. A keynote address was then given by the Director of the , Mr CM Shun, who discussed how engineers can contribute their efforts to mitigate the impacts associated with climate change. Prof SC Wong of the University of Hong Kong then delivered a special address by highlighting the key roles of civil engineers and their major achievements. He illustrated how Hong Kong has been transformed from the past to a modern city nowadays. After the opening, the first part of the Masterclass was delivered by top-notch international experts and industry leaders who shared their insights and passion in a series of inspirational TECH (Technology, Engineering, Climate, Humanitarian) talks on shaping the cities. The first speaker Dr Derrick Pang is a successful entrepreneur who gave a presentation on how creativity and agility can be applied in civil engineering. His speech was well received and received a big round of applause from the floor. As the second speaker, Ms Jenny Yeung highlighted how landslide hazards would impact us and how engineers would mitigate the impacts in terms of vulnerability and resilience. The last part of this TECH talk was presented by Ms Alice Shing who demonstrated the major drainage facilities, discussed the climate change impact, and outlined the strategy and the approach for flood resilience. The second part of the Masterclass provided a message to the audience that civil engineering is a rewarding and fun career for anyone. Mr Michael Kwok shared with us his career path and demonstrated his global visions in shaping the world upon his successful projects. After his sharing, a “Late Show” was organized by a group of engineers from ICarE, Engineers Without Borders, Medecins Sans Frontieres, Wu Zhi Qiao and Mingde. They shared with the audience how engineers could contribute their support to the society, what challenges were encountered and tackled, and how they appreciated their involvements with satisfaction. The Masterclass was followed by the Leaders’ Forum where students played an interactive game “Cities Alive” in assigned groups. All of them participated proactively during their group discussions. Each group presented their findings and recommendations on how our future cities should be shaped. Even though the presenters are young, all of them presented impressively well and it was a tough job for the judging panel to select the best presenter award from the groups. Following the above interactive events in HKU, students joined guided tours in 3 groups to visit various signature projects including Po Shan Drainage Tunnels, Happy Valley Underground Stormwater Storage Scheme, and Zero Carbon Building & Construction Innovation and Technology Application Centre (CITAC). After the site visits, a closing remark was given by our past chairman of ICE (HKA), Mr CM Lee who summarized all the key points that were shared with students during this special Masterclass. After the Masterclass, we received a lot of compliments from the various schools. Both teachers and students expressed that this special Masterclass allowed them to gain exposure and insights, make informed choices and create positive outlook on their commitment to a fulfilling and meaningful life-long career, particularly in the civil engineering field. We believe that this Masterclass has successfully encouraged the young generation to pursue civil engineering as their profession. Furthermore, it enabled our future leaders of society to better understand the major engineering challenges facing their generation and stimulate their commitment towards future infrastructure development and enhancing city resilience.

7 Knowledge - HK Association Bicentenary Innovation Summit By Ms Carrie Cheung & Dr Eric Li

CE celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2018 and will be hosting a series of signature events I across the globe. Kick-starting the celebrations is a flagship programme being organised by Hong Kong Association - “ICE Bicentenary Hong Kong Innovation Summit – Transform and Protect Lives” which was held on 12 January 2018 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Admiralty. This high profile Innovation Summit brought many world renowned experts to Hong Kong to share their knowledge and insights with us. We were also very pleased to have the presence of the HKSAR Chief Executive, the Hon Mrs Carrie Lam, to be our Guest of Honour, who is also an ICE Honorary Fellow. In her opening speech, Mrs Lam welcomed the contributions of civil engineers, and in particular highlighted engineers’ efforts in land formation, utlities and transportation in Hong Kong’s history. The themes of the Summit, namely “Smart Living: City planning and transportation” and “Smart Living: Climate change resilience” also echoed her Policy Address to position Hong Kong as a smart city. The Innovation Summit coincided with the visit of the President of ICE, Prof Lord Robert Mair. He kicked off the Summit by delivering a Special Address and presented UK experience in some recent mega-projects on infrastructure. He referred to high- quality infrastructure with optimisation in every aspect and emphasised the importance of the application of emerging and advanced technologies by the civil engineering profession. He also highlighted the need to develop smart infrastructure that can respond intelligently to changes in surrounding environment and interact between the physical and digital worlds. Collecting useful and real time data by monitoring both during construction and operation would be critical to such development. After President’s Special Addresss, Mr C K Hon, the ICE Representative in Hong Kong and the Permenanet Secretary (Works) of , started the panel presentations and gave an overview of the recently published Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint.

9 Knowledge - HK Association ICE Bicentenary Distinguished Lecture “There is no bridge too far” By Mr Tony Shum

he first of the ICE Bicentenary Distinguished Lectures, ‘Excellence and T Innovation: There is No Bridge Too Far’, took place in Hong Kong on 13 March 2018. It was attended by British Consul General Andrew Heyn OBE who gave an opening speech at the event. The Lecture presented the art and science of modern bridge engineering. It enthralled a large audience with vivid examples of the role of bridges in connecting people with places, both physically and emotionallyn.

The Lecture was delivered by Dr Robin Sham CBE, global long span and specialty bridges director, AECOM, and Dr Ana M Ruiz-Teran, senior lecturer in bridge engineering, Imperial College, London. Consul General Heyn expressed his appreciation for the resilience of Hong Kong’s infrastructure, citing the example of the extreme typhoon in Hong Kong last year. He also spoke about the often overlooked role that engineers play, a key theme of ICE 200. “People talk about the entrepreneur spirit in Hong Kong, talk about the energy in Hong Kong, talk about the fantastic services, like banking, insurance and the great law companies. But it seems that the engineers are the genius of Hong Kong," said Consul General Heyn "When you look around and you see what has been achieved on a small landmass - it is awe inspiring.” Mr Tony Shum, Chairman of the ICE 200 Distinguished Lecture Organizing Committee, introduced the title of the Lecture “There is no bridge too far” through contrasting it with the metaphor “A bridge too far”, defined in the Oxford Dictionary as a step too drastic to take or a mission too difficult to achieve. In that context he also reflected on the film “A bridge too far” in the mid-1970s portraying the extraordinary difficulties in military missions. He then introduced the Distinguished Speakers as outstanding engineers and leading bridge design experts who personify the civil engineering profession’s drive for excellence and innovation. In a truly eloquent delivery Dr Robin Sham captivated the audience with his account of the evolution of bridge engineering in the past three decades. He described the pioneering work on the Aberfeldy Bridge, the world’s first all-fibre reinforced composites cable-stayed bridge. He explained the ingenious method of bridge erection through an analogy of trapezes in a circus – by stretching out trapezes formed by Kevlar stay cables and cross beams, and then incrementally launching the deck girder over the trapezes. He presented the creation of the third generation suspension bridges, as exemplified by the Tsing Lung Twin-Box Deck, with a shallow, streamlined, and vented girder for static efficiency and aerodynamic superiority. He vividly detailed the subsequent pursuits over some two decades for enhancement, through studies on steelwork detailing and fabrication; through analytical and wind tunnel investigations on different shapes, bridge furniture and appendages. The sustained efforts have culminated in a recent derivative of the bridge form with a system of single-shaft pylons and a three-dimensional array of suspension cables, made possible by a series of innovative construction technology. Dr Sham recounted mission impossible – the construction of the two-level, road-railway cable-stayed bridge, in a race against time in the 1990s to connect the City with the Hong Kong International Airport which was also under construction. He described how the ventilated lower deck is akin to a tunnel in the air. He explained the techniques for fitting the trackwork in three dimensions within the railway envelope, while the two halves of the cable-stayed bridge were undergoing movements during their cantilevered construction. He reflected on how the extreme difficulties instilled in him that it is absolutely important to invent an intelligent prediction-survey-back analysis method in construction engineering. He illustrated how, inspired by his work on the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, he continued to tackle the construction engineering of two of the world’s longest cable-stayed bridges, the 1,088m Sutong Bridge and the 1,018m main span . He explained that construction engineering is the pursuit of engineering sciences to enable the construction of large or

10 Knowledge - HK Association

complex bridges. He reflected on the advances in construction engineering in the past decade for building ultra-long span cable-stayed bridges, a task considered insurmountable by many in an era in which the necessary technology had largely been unexplored. He expounded on research into artificial intelligence in conceptual bridge design; describing techniques for simulating the human thought processes computationally. He reassured the audience that what seemed like a future technology had indeed been made possible, back in the days of his seminal research at Imperial College London decades ago. He then presented recent endeavours in the design and construction of scour tolerant and seismic resilient sea links and river crossings, as exemplified by the 24km-long Second Penang Bridge and the 6.15km-long Padma Bridge. In addition to describing the richness of the engineering sciences involved, he also elucidated on the social- economic significance of these mega structures. In concluding his part of the Distinguished Lecture, Dr Sham provided an enticing glimpse of the future. He presented the design of a family of landmark bridges, including the Eternity Arch in the 1.8km-long Cross Bay Link; a curved-in-plan novelty arch bridge, the Southern Bridge; an Eco Bridge which intelligently harnesses wind energy for power generation; and a magnificent three-dimensional tubular steel truss. His dramatic finale unveiled an ultimate icon and yet a versatile utilitarian design, in the form of an ingeniously configured road-rail-pedestrian cable-stayed crossing. The majestic design integrates the carriageways, the railway and pedestrian passageways both external and internal to the bridge girder. Inspired by the finesse of ballerinas, his cable-stayed bridge design encompasses aesthetically striking sculptured pylons and a three-dimensional crisscross array of cables. Judging from the elated reaction of the audience, the design is a timeless innovation which purists and pragmatists alike would admire. Dr Ruiz-Teran presented the opportunities that she has had over her academic career to contribute towards innovation. She showed examples of questions that she raised in her research and how her research group then strived to find the responses to those key questions, providing a step forward in gaining additional knowledge, proposing new methodologies, and design frameworks. In her lecture she presented some of the explorations she has conducted - in under-deck and combined cable-stayed bridges; bridge dynamics under traffic loads; vehicle-structure interaction models for road bridges; design frameworks for the verification of the serviceability limit state of vibrations; the dynamic and sudden rupture of stay cables; stochastic models accounting for pedestrian intra- and inter-variability, pedestrian-structure; and pedestrian-pedestrian interaction. She used numerous examples to demonstrate how some of the current design models proposed by the codes and guidelines do not provide an accurate and realistic representation of the structural response. She also showed examples of very complex numerical models which do not necessarily provide added benefits in comparison with relatively simplistic models, and which can also lead to very inaccurate representations of reality when their parameters are not appropriately calibrated. She emphasized on the importance of asking ourselves relevant and crucial questions in order to advance towards innovation. She advocated raising questions about how we can improve the existing frameworks and how we can provide better explanations to problems. She stressed on the importance of maintaining the attitude of asking questions about how we can do things better – What? Why? How? What if? She also emphasized that innovation is facilitated when we work as part of a community which is keen to innovate. She concluded her lecture by acknowledging the work done by all her research collaborators and students. The event was held in association with AECOM, and supports the UK’s Great Festival of Innovation which offers the latest thinking on innovation across industry, society and community.

11 Knowledge - HK Association Bringing the World’s Longest Span Bridge Built with LEGO® Bricks to Hong Kong! By Prof Ken Ho & Dr Eric Li e have a dream W Building enduring infrastructures that connect communities, cities, peoples are the hallmarks of civil engineering. In Hong Kong, which has a small land mass that embodies so many of the great challenges of our profession (eg steep terrain, tight working space, incredible densities), we civil engineers are incredibly proud to continue this legacy. But let’s face it, we do have an image problem and we critically need to attract many more young talents to enter the profession. As Hong Kong has the largest ICE membership outside of the United Kingdom, it was only appropriate to celebrate our venerated ICE’s 200th anniversary in a commensurate, landmark way. We wanted to make the best use of this occasion to connect civil engineers with the public with a view to promoting a better appreciation of our creativity and contributions to society. Fortunately, we had an example to draw from – the unveiling of the World’s Longest Span Bridge Built With LEGO® Bricks, which was first on display in London in 2016 as the centerpiece of a Bridge Engineering Exhibition. Since the Guinness World Record bridge was conceived and designed by Dr Robin Sham, an eminent civil engineer born in Hong Kong, our dream was to construct a replica in Hong Kong for a special exhibition to commemorate ICE’s 200th anniversary and draw attention amongst the Hong Kong youth to our profession and societal contributions. For this project, we engaged two key partners: AECOM and MTR Corporation. We also received strong support from Chun Wo Construction & Engineering and many energetic helpers. The timeframe was exceedingly tight, with the decision to proceed made in end January 2018 and we were working to a target of commencing the exhibition before end of March 2018.

Students’ Participation One weekend in early March, around 80 students from eight schools (including G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College, Diocesan Boys’ School, French International School of Hong Kong, Good Hope School, HKBU Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School, King George V School, and Marymount Secondary School) gathered to assemble key bridge components. Under the guidance and supervision of LEGO® Certified Professional and civil engineers, students constructed the bridge decks, cables and anchor blocks, and various other components of the bridge. Apart from active participation in building the world record bridge, students were treated with inspiring messages from Dr Robin Sham and Professor Eric Ma, acting chief executive officer, Hong Kong- Innovation and Technology Park. “We hope thousands of Hong Kong youth will be inspired to build careers to shape and create our world, for their generation and many more to come.”

Unveiling the World’s Longest Span Bridge Built With LEGO® Bricks in Hong Kong A few weeks later, between the hours of 11pm and 5am for two nights, our friends from Bright Bricks, the UK-based LEGO® Certified Professional, ICE, AECOM and Chun Wo, and volunteer engineers gathered at ELEMENTS mall to assemble the bridge. On 21 March, we formally premiered the bridge at a gala reception packed with VIPs from government, business partners and nearly 50 media, at ELEMENTS mall. The Honourable Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, Chief Secretary for Administration, was the officiating guest for the opening ceremony and shared the following message: “We need the support of relevant sectors like the ICE Hong Kong Association and general public, particularly on young people, to promote STEM and further enrich our students' learning. The exhibition of the longest span Bridge built with LEGO® Bricks in Hong Kong is a shining example of how the community can help raise the interest of the general public in innovation and technology and allow our students to have positive experience in applying engineering knowledge in daily life.” The bridge became the talk of the town within the social media and the exhibition was widely publicized and promulgated. During the exhibition between 21 March and 22 April 2018, thousands of people, including hundreds of school children visited the bridge, many of whom looked at the bridge in awe and were highly impressed. To see their interest and excitement is extremely heartening! Through this record-breaking bridge which has generated overwhelming responses and much positive feedback, a new generation of Hong Kong youth was inspired to positively impact the built environment for the future. All in all, we made a splash in the local community and impressed on the residents of Hong Kong that our city was literally built by the ingenuity and creativity of civil engineers. This ICE 200 event was masterminded by our Vice Chairman, Dr Eric Li. It could not have been so successful if not for the close collaboration amongst the various partners and the excellent teamwork of our ICE members and volunteers.

Winning Technical Report for Graduates and Students Technical Seminar on Railway Feasibility Study, Hong Kong

By Mr Mark Wong A technical seminar on Hong Kong’s Railway Feasibility Study was held on 21 September 2017. The speaker of the evening was Mr Stephen Chik, General Manager (Planning & Civil Engineering) of MTR Corporation. Mr Chik began the presentation by introducing an implementation framework for railway developments, and stressed that railway feasibility studies (RDS) should be in line with the development of cities. He explained that development plans, such as ‘HK2030+’, would provide guidelines on how a city should move forward, and outline the planned land uses in new development areas or redevelopment areas. This would be followed by comprehensive transport studies, which would determine the type of transport infrastructure (e.g. highways, railways) to be provisioned. In Hong Kong, mass transportation was encouraged, and this made railways a desirable transport mode. This gave rise to railway feasibility studies. After going through the workflow, Mr Chik pinpointed the importance of defining objectives in an RDS. For example, different train types were deployed on inner-city lines and the line to serve their different functions. A balance should be struck between adding stations and railway performance, as adding stations would lengthen the journey time. Mr Chik found Hong Kong’s transport system very diverse, with each mode targeting a specific travel market. He also urged for better utilisation of MTR’s network. Elaborating on this idea, he stated that most commuters would travel into the urban core from suburbs during the morning peak, leaving the link serving the opposite direction under-utilised. The 2014 RDS emphasised on increasing railway coverage, relieving bottlenecks, unleashing the potential for developments and improving network robustness. The study also covered the traffic impact, connectivity, sustainability and financial viability of the proposed projects. Patronage forecasts were also given, which involved a 4-stage process: demand projection, distribution pattern analysis, mode choice analysis and route choice assessment. A multitude of factors, such as economic data, population, social zoning and employment distribution, would be analysed to identify critical links and their peak flows. These data would help in deciding the number of train cars, station size and type. On the technical side, Mr Chik explained that parameters such as minimum radius, maximum grade, maximum cant and service speed were the key determinants of alignment studies. Engineers would decide on the construction method, and design the E&M and railway systems. In this process, impacts on the environment, trees, heritage sites and the ecology would be assessed. As railways operate in closed systems, engineers should also give extra attention to operation and maintenance, and ensure there is a recovery path when incidents occur. Mr Chik wrapped up the seminar with the financial evaluation of projects, which involved studies on CAPEX, OPEX and funding arrangements, so that a viable business case could be put forward for public engagement. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr Chik for giving us such an informative crash course on railway feasibility studies, and ICE HKA G&S for organising the event.

15 Knowledge - HK Association Technical Visit to Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge – Artificial Island By Mr Merlin Lu

visit to one of the artificial islands of Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao Bridge (HZMB) was successfully organized by the A ICE HKA on 16 March 2018. The Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao Bridge (HZMB), situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary, is a large sea crossing linking the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Zhuhai City of Guangdong Province and Macao Special Administrative Region. It consists of a Main Bridge in Mainland waters together with the boundary crossing facilities and link roads within the three places. The visited island is located at portals of the tunnel section at East side. The objective of the visit was to understand how civil engineers resolve demand of passenger by establishing a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River. The site visit comprised a free walking at the east artificial island and a tour at one of main bridges together with a short presentation of modular prefabrication of bridges. Participants were able to have a close look at the artificial island and main bridge. The first tour was on the artificial island which followed the “oyster shell” theme design and was formed by 120 giant steel cylinders. The main structures on the island were built on an in-situ assembly basis, making use of fair-face concrete which was also adopted at the tunnel portal, embodying the minimalist style of architectural art. The following tour on the Qingzhou bridge gave a chance to see the bridge closely and allowed the participants to watch and learn the details of the furniture including the gully cover and the prefabricated parapets that were installed on the steel deck during erection. Through this visit, participants explored this piece of mega infrastructure and enjoyed the unique chance to visit this island which may not be open to the public during operation.

n this year, ICarE was invited by Project Mingde of The University of I Hong Kong to be their technical advisors and mentors for their recent project in Guigang, China. Project Mingde is a renowned project that was founded and managed by the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Hong Kong. It aims at promoting personal growth to students through experiential learning and participation in various real-life projects and providing education in impoverished localities in China. The latter aligns with ICarE’s aim to contribute to the society with our engineering knowledge, and as such bridges the cooperation of the 2 organisations. Our role in Project Mingde is to provide guidance to students using our experience. Students have great potential to be competent engineers. However, their inexperience, their unfamiliarity with the industry and their lack of knowledge will be their obstacles in completing the design project on their own. This is where ICarE could step in. We could guide the students to tackle the problems and identify design blind spots with our work experience, knowledge and previous ICarE project experience. Project Mingde launched a design project in Guigang. The project aims to construct a new kindergarten and community center complex, and a new washroom building for the existing school. Several groups of students are doing their best in developing possible schemes for the complex and washroom buildings. We had several meetings with the students to point out directions that they could follow and discuss about the designs. With the cooperation with Project Mingde, we aim to meet our objective of contributing to the society. We aim to induce more people know more about ICE and ICarE. We aim to let more people with the same goal join us. We hope to shape a better future. ICE Caring Engineering Build a Music School in Rural Area of Myanmar By Mr Charles Chan

id you ever think about helping people living in rural areas using your professional knowledge? D ICE Caring Engineering (ICarE) provides civil engineering volunteer services by mobilizing people in the engineering industry. We improve the living conditions of rural areas by implementing hardware and software projects. We also promote social responsibility and awareness of international affairs in the civil engineering industry. Since 2017, ICarE teams up with BAMS to build a music school in Kengtung, a city of Myanmar situated in the “Golden Triangle” where drug problem has been affecting the teenagers. It is our goal that a music school be built so that the young people can learn a good habit rather than being addicted to drugs. Engineers of ICarE work hard to design the campus structures, and to provide solutions to engineering problems such as road improvement, site formation, material selection and budget control. We take part in planning, design, construction and maintenance aspects of the project by working with a group of architects and building services engineers. The construction industry of Kengtung is very different from Hong Kong. Concrete and steel available in Kengtung are commonly not having clear specifications on strength. A lot of buildings were built without proper engineering design. Therefore, we are required to conduct in depth research on available and reliable construction material, technology, plant and cost information. Working under limited resources and maintaining good communication with the contractor in Myanmar are the major challenges that our engineers are currently facing. The team has achieved some progress in the campus construction. The site formation works, which turn the originally irregular natural ground into a levelled ground, have been completed. An outdoor performance stage is being built at the moment. We are still working on the design of a music hall and two classrooms and dormitory structures while the BAMS fundraising team strives for sufficient fund to support the remaining construction works and the initial fund for the school operation. The team’s determination and dedication are remarkable and are solid displays that the well-being of the teenagers is what we care.

18 Knowledge - G&S My year as a President’s Future Leader By Mr Max Ng, ICE President’s Future Leader 2017-18

very year the ICE President chooses some “Future E Leaders” (formerly President’s Apprentice) from graduate engineers and technicians to shadow him and initiate projects. In the bicentenary of the Institution, I am honoured to become a Future Leader of Prof Lord Visit to Singapore underground railway project Robert Mair. The scheme started in Nov 2017. I flew to London to attend the presidential address, learned more about the Helicopter Reconnaissance of major ICE work and planned my project with support from Ms development projects in Hong Kong Wendy Blundell (Director of UK Regions) to promote civil engineering. While echoing ICE 200, it also targets younger generations who would soon take up the role to shape our future. I am looking into various promotion campaigns in the UK and Asia, coming up with proposals to optimise our efforts for showcasing civil engineers’ work and encouraging more talents to join us. During this first trip, I also gained a lot of insights from seven other UK-based Future Leaders. This is a very strong group, diversified in backgrounds and disciplines. Prof Lord Robert Mair and his Future Leaders I met the President again during his Hong Kong visit in Jan 2018. In the fruitful four days, the meetings and presentations with industry leaders, as well as the ICE 200 Innovation Summit, were eye-opening to a graduate like me. These familiarised myself with the focuses of the Institution and the industry. Furthermore, I accompanied his subsequent visit to Singapore and had some amazing time meeting local professionals and visiting an underground railway project site. The above only highlights half of my year in the scheme. If you want to make a difference in our profession like Henry Robinson Palmer, do learn more about the ICE President's Future Leader Scheme: ice.org.uk/futureleaders.

19 Knowledge - G&S One-Day Seminar “Land Supply for future generations – Approaches, Challenges and Visions” By Mr Leo Lau

CE HKA G&S One-Day Seminar 2018 on “Land supply for future generations – approaches, challenges and visions” was I successfully held on 3 March 2018 with more than 80 participants. The seminar consisted of presentations by six speakers from different backgrounds. Knowledge, experiences and inspiring ideas regarding current situation and corresponding actions on land supply issues, e.g. approaches and strategies adopted in maximising land use, technique application in enhancing land supply and innovative conceptual solutions, were introduced. With the limited space in Hong Kong, land supply policy and usage strategy are fundamental for which various statutory bodies are involved. Mr Wai Chi Sing from the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) introduced the 4Rs (Redevelopment, Rehabilitation/ Retrofitting, Revitalisation and pReservation) approaches adopted by the URA. Similarly, Ms Phyllis Li from the Planning Department (PlanD) explained the strategies adopted by PlanD to create capacity through Hong Kong 2030+ respectively. The latest techniques and equipment development optimise usable land space, eg most new towns in Hong Kong were built on reclaimed land and cavern development had long been adopted successfully in both local and overseas projects. Three speakers, Mr Henry Cheung and Mr Ricky Wong from the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) and Mr Mark Wallace from Ove Arup & Partners, shared their experiences in executing reclamation projects and cavern development studies respectively. A new direction for resolving land supply’s challenges is to make use of innovative ideas. Prof Chau from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) demonstrated his thoughts on handling the local situation by improving land ownership condition and existing land utilisation. Two of the ideas, rezoning and upzoning, were presented. On behalf of the ICE HKA G&S, we would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all six speakers for sharing their knowledge and experiences regarding the current situation and corresponding actions on land supply.

CE HKA G&S Brunei Delegation was successfully held from 15 to 19 November 2017. With the theme “Sustainable I Infrastructure Development”, the delegates focused on how infrastructure development contributed to the economic and social sustainability and how environmental sustainability was considered in the planning, design and construction of infrastructure projects. During the five-day trip, the delegates visited the site of Temburong Bridge, Seria Oilfield, Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Kampong Ayer water village and a mangrove along Brunei River. Prior to the Temburong Bridge site visit, the resident site staff welcomed the delegates and started the site visit with a brief introduction to the project. The Temburong Bridge Project is a 30km long dual two-lane highway crossing over the Brunei Bay. The alignment crosses two navigation channels resulting in the need for two cable-stayed bridges – the Brunei Channel Bridge (145m main span) and the Eastern Channel Bridge (260m main span). The Temburong Bridge was expected to shorten the travel time by an hour and played a strategic role in releasing the development potential of Temburong. The delegates went on a boat trip and observed the various ongoing construction works of package CC2 including erection of box girder, construction of pile caps and piling works. They also scrutinised the construction of the pylon of the cable-stayed bridges of package CC3. The delegates then visited the precast yard of the two packages. In the casting yard, the delegates witnessed the construction of precast concrete segments and prestressed box girder. After the day-long visit, the delegates appreciated both the technical difficulties and the importance of civil engineering in tackling such challenges. Moreover, the delegates explored the culture of Brunei during a visit to Kampong Ayer water village, Seria Oilfield tour and mangrove safari tour. It enabled the delegates to learn the development history of Brunei such as how the local residents shifted the economic dependence from fishery to oil and gas, as well as how the quality of life of Brunei people was enhanced along the development of oil industry. In addition, the mangrove safari tour showed how the Brunei Government protected natural habitat which was of utmost importance for biodiversity. Delegates also visited Universiti Teknologi Brunei, an engineering and technology university in Brunei that specialises in the niche areas of engineering, business and computing. The visit started with a sharing session in which professionals in Brunei and delegates exchanged views on the way forward of infrastructure developments and the strategy for developing the engineering profession in Brunei and Hong Kong. Afterwards, a laboratory visit was arranged to showcase the research and projects in the Department of Civil Engineering of Universiti Teknologi Brunei. It had been a fruitful five-day delegation trip for the delegates. Throughout the Brunei Delegation, they visited precast yard, water village, oilfield, mangrove and engineering university in Brunei. The visits and discussions equipped them with the concepts and practices regarding sustainable development and transportation system.

22 Knowledge - G&S ICE 200 Shaping Our Future City By Ms Irene Ngai

s part of the ICE’s 200th anniversary celebration, a half-year campaign, namely “Shaping Our Future City”, is being A organised for 53 Form 4 and Form 5 students from nine local secondary schools from February to July 2018, to inspire the youth and recruit fresh blood into the engineering world. Supported by government departments, local tertiary institutions and engineering consulting firms, various site visits, talks and workshops have been provided to the students to broaden their horizons in engineering subjects. The campaign will culminate in a case competition themed “Hong Kong 2030+”, in which the students will deliver a presentation and exhibition to showcase their solutions to future challenges faced by local civil engineers to the public. The students will be accompanied by facilitators, passionate G&S members, to walk through this half-year journey. The campaign got off to a roaring start at the opening ceremony on 10 February 2018. Team chemistry among students and facilitators was quickly built up through ice-breaking games as we introduced some basic engineering terminology to them. We were also very honoured to have Prof Jack Cheng, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to deliver an opening speech, which enabled students to have a more concrete understanding of the civil engineering discipline. The students then battled to construct the tallest tower with the building blocks they earned throughout our award-winning board game, the “Construction Master”. Our students and facilitators met again on 17 March 2017 for the first session of the campaign. In the morning, the students and facilitators were split into three groups to visit Hong Kong Link Road of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Tai Po Water Treatment Works and Plover Cove Reservoir, as well as Construction Innovation and Technology Application Centre with a detailed briefing delivered by the project offices. The afternoon session began with students sharing their site visit experience. We were glad to see that the students were awe-struck by the infrastructure development in Hong Kong as well as the important role of innovation in the construction industry. We were also honoured to have Mr C M Lee, Past Chairman of ICE HKA, to deliver an interactive presentation which enabled the students to gain valuable insights on the civil engineers’ approach to problem-solving. The students then battled to construct “newspaper towers” and used handmade “weapons” to destroy the opponents’ towers with limited time and resources. The day ended with the competition workshop, in which the facilitators guided the students to prepare for the presentation and exhibition at the end of the campaign. Apart from more civil engineering related activities to be organised for the students, the campaign will culminate in a public presentation-cum-exhibition in early July at City Gallery to showcase the works done by the students and to maximize the impact of the campaign with the reach to the public. The exhibition showing some of the Hong Kong infrastructure development projects and the students’ proposals will be held from 1 to 15 July 2018 and the public presentation by the students will be held on 7 July 2018. Stay tuned for the public presentation- cum-exhibition and how the students will be shaping our future city!

23 Knowledge - G&S Site visit to MTR SCL Contract 1108 – Kai Tak Station and Associated Tunnels By Mr Wing Kin Wilson Kung

n 25 November 2017, Graduates and Students (G&S) Site Visit and O Seminar Team organised the technical visit to Kai Tak MTR Station. Mr Vince Ng, MTR Construction Engineer – Civil, provided an insightful presentation on the construction of Kai Tak Station and its associated tunnels. The station structure and the majority of the tunnel sections were constructed by open cut-and-cover method, with a small section of the twin tunnels constructed using mined tunnel construction. Mr Ng explained that shallow raft foundations were selected for ease of construction to accommodate the proposed development of the station roof within a public playground and garden. A key construction challenge was highlighted during the presentation. A small section of the twin tunnels alignment ran underneath the historic monuments of Lung Tsuen Stone Bridge (LTSB) and Former City Pier (FKCP). While the LTSB potential influence was mitigated by revising the track alignment southward, extensive geotechnical studies were carried out to determine the condition of the concrete piles of the FKCP. Migrating measures during construction were recommended, including a clearance buffer zone between the monument and the track tunnels, and compensation grouting surrounding the tunnel. Mined tunnel construction was adopted where 1m diameter pipe piles were drilled in horizontally to form the circular portal. Mechanical diggers then excavated the rock face. Steel arches were installed and sprayed concrete were applied to support the exposed faces. This method of tunnelling was vital to reducing the risk of undesirable settlement of the FKCP and enhancing the ground stability. The participants were given a guided tour to one of the station entrances. The modern design features a glass and aluminium facade, and a series of V-shaped tubular steel columns supporting a green roof with natural skylight. On the island platform, it was a privilege to see one of the brand new 8-car SCL trains. Orange mosaic tiles run throughout the Kai Tak Station giving this MTR station its own uniqueness and identity. On behalf of the ICE HKA G&S, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr Vince Ng and MTR Corporation Limited, for sharing their in-depth knowledge on the project and providing our graduates and students a guided tour inside the Kai Tak MTR Station.

The mock was to simulate the complete professional review process. Selected candidates were required to submit their project reports. A 15-minute presentation was scheduled for them to introduce their projects and demonstrate how they fulfilled the essential attributes. The presentation was followed by an interview of the candidate by the two guest facilitators. An evaluation session was conducted by the facilitators according to the candidates’ performance. The following were some advices given by the facilitators during the evaluation: Have a thorough understanding of the project and construction sequence; Demonstrate sufficient management and leadership ability; Make sure the presentation material, report and presentation tally with each other; Familiarise themselves with the presentation material and report; Prepare a well-structured and reader-friendly report. The workshop ended with a Q&A session, where candidates and audiences had the opportunity to raise questions to the facilitators about the Chartered Professional Review. On behalf of the ICE HKA G&S, we would like to express our acknowledgment and gratitude to our facilitators, Ms Rosanna Lau, Prof Kevin So and Mr Vincent Yuen, for their generous support and advice. Overall Event Rating: 8.25/10

24 Membership New Membership Development Officer, Shirley Cheng

eing a civil engineer does not necessarily mean his/her work is confined B to design and construction only. This explains why I am here with ICE HK as Membership Development Officer (MDO). It all begins with my curiosity. When I was doing my master degree in London, I came across a world-recognised professional institution called ICE. In order to learn more about ICE and what I can gain from it, I joined the institution as a student member at that time. After I graduated, I was recruited by a company based in Crawley and had undergone ICE training, which was still based on Development Objectives at that time (now restructured as the Nine Attributes). I then relocated to HK for good and continued with my training without any procedural hindrance. The structured training had enabled me to develop my career towards the objectives with no geographical limitations and to obtain my CEng MICE in HK within my planned timeframe. This is not the end of my story. After getting chartered and working on site for a couple of years, I realised that I can exercise my profession and knowledge in a way that I have never thought of – by nurturing the young engineers to become professionally recognized under close working relationship with various companies and experienced engineers, and by promoting the first-tier professionals to a higher level of membership in ICE framework. Being an MDO with ICE allows me to experience other ways to contribute to the engineering industry. You will know what they are all about when you meet me in person.
