As a contractor, we have contributed our expertise 4 to help curb the spread of the pandemic within the wider community. In February, Gammon was engaged to provide expert modular integrated construction (MiC) project management and MEP services in the fast- track construction of temporary quarantine facilities in Hong Kong. Consisting of 110 units in a two-storey configuration, it took just 64 days to complete all MiC fabrication, installation, tests and inspections. We also worked with the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (Hong Kong Branch) to construct Hong Kong’s first rapidly built high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward, also using an MiC approach. The demonstration unit showcases that it is possible to build these specialist isolation facilities in a fast- 20 track and cost-effective manner. The past few months have not been easy for any of us. I would like to personally thank our business partners’ support and thank all Gammon staff for their adaptability and resilience in these challenging times and urge Issue 1/2020 everybody to be ready to start afresh for a new chapter of Gammon’s history.

As a relatively new arrival to the company, I am delighted to see how Gammon is able to provide such a diverse and wide range of services for our business partners. It is also gratifying to know that the Company is strengthening its competitive advantage through its multi-skill, one-team approach. 23 One of my concerns as a new staff member relates to the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the company. As the physical and mental health of our employees is so important to us, we have been implementing a variety of precautionary measures and providing flexible work arrangements for our staff. We have also set up an Employee Assistance Programme and Care Hotline, which focuses on staff mental health, and the Beyond Wellness Sharepoint website for sharing health information and organising webinars and workshops. We have also launched our first music video “This Battle”, collectively produced with colleagues in Hong Kong, Singapore and mainland China, to cheer us on the journey to fight against Covid-19. Stay tuned for more. Despite this unprecedented situation with Covid-19, our business continues to grow. Thanks to the efforts and dedication of all staff, Gammon has recently secured a number of new 25 projects. We also scored two big wins in the 2019 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence. One was a Gold Award – our seventh – for our environmental work on the Medical Complex Extension at No 21 Sassoon Road for The University of Hong Kong (HKU). The other was an Environmental Excellence Certificate of Merit for our E&M works at the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link – Northern Connection Tunnel Buildings. 23 Projects 工程項目 This is an exciting time to be at Gammon, and I look forward Gammon designed and installed a chilled-water to being a part of this talented team that is making so many thermal-energy storage system with the heaviest contributions to the future of Hong Kong.

We have considered everything from air and water quality to light and comfort to mental wellbeing. Drinking water is filtered to a very high quality, meeting rooms have been designed to minimise noise intrusion, we have green walls and adjustable desks and there are indoor air quality monitors, to name just a few features. Of course, the office also includes LED lighting, energy efficient lighting controls and all-sustainable FSC certified wood furniture to reduce environmental impacts.

Economic growth and development drives all aspects of the construction industry through new infrastructure, urban buildings and regeneration, yet at the same time presents potential environmental, social and economic impacts to project proponents, the service providers and the wider public. Through the promotion and implementation of industry best practice and innovation, Gammon is committed to embracing sustainable business practices. Verification Statement The Business Environment Council (BEC) was commissioned by Gammon Construction Limited (Gammon) to provide a verification statement for its 2005 Sustainability Report “Sharing Our Journey” (the report). BEC conducted sample checks of the data and claims in the report through document and data review, interviews with responsible personnel, and visits to selected sites. Our findings are set out as below. Completeness of the report scope “Sharing Our Journey” provides a comprehensive and balanced account of Gammon’s commitment to sustainability across its core business activities and locations in which it operates. The report also exhibits the increasing reach of the “quadruple bottom line” approach in working with business partners and the wider community to address social, health and safety, environmental and economic considerations. We encourage Gammon to continue its embrace of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) principles, and in particular to further engage stakeholders to help define the content, performance indicators and presentation of future reports.

As many have noted, M+ is more than simply a museum. 4 Designed by the renowned Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, it has been hailed as a work of art in itself. I am gratified to note that it is a project that has successfully called on all of Gammon’s ingenuity since we took over as the Management Contractor in September 2018. Of course, it was a challenge to take over the project well after commencement of construction in early 2015, but we achieved that by winning the trust of contractors already at work onsite. Another challenge was building over the tunnels of the MTR’s Airport Express and the Tung Chung Line, but our experience on the Lyric Theatre project, which presented similar challenges, was great training. I am also thrilled and proud that we have been awarded the Terminal 2 Expansion Works, which is Gammon’s largest solo contract win to date. Our proposal for the project focused on offsite and modular solutions, particularly for electrical and mechanical elements, and also for much of the internal fit-out of the main building, including check- 18 in islands, retail shopfronts and link bridges.
