Derek Smyth, 1947–2013 We mourn the loss of Derek Smyth, who served as an Executive Director of Gammon until 2008 and was retained as a consultant until his unexpected death in October 2013. After his retirement, he continued to serve the industry by leading the drafting of the Hong Kong Construction Industry Vision 2020. He was also one of the initiators of Gammon’s sustainability programmes that prepared us for our future as a sustainable business.

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.

    金門印記 ISSUE 2 2020 M+ A Masterpiece of Engineering and Design 建築工程結合藝術 設計的完美傑作 P7 P23 Kitemark™ Certification awarded for Largest ever solo contract – Terminal 2 innovation management Expansion Works Kitemark™證書確認創新管理成就 最高價值單獨承建合約 — 機場二號客運大樓擴建工程 Chief Executive’s Mes sage 總裁的話 Gammon is proud to have played a key role in many of Hong Kong’s most notable construction projects and none more so than our two current most high-profile contracts: The M+ under construction on the West Kowloon waterfront and the Terminal 2 Expansion Works project by the Airport Authority Hong Kong. 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.

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.
