Work Safe Think Safe 全心全意保平安 30 Sustainability Month expands our 34 Hong Kong Science Park project focuses commitment to the local community on green construction technology 「可持續發展月」實踐金門的企業社會責任 香港科學園項目突顯環保建築技術 Chief Executive’s Message 總裁的話 subcontractors who form a vital part of the Gammon team. On a sustainability note, the Zero Carbon Building in Kowloon Bay was opened on 26 June. This is a first-of-its-kind project in Hong Kong which will have significant impact on green construction both locally and internationally because it is carbon neutral, climate positive, and generates on-site renewable energy. It’s also open to visitors and will become a showcase for environmentally friendly sustainable design and building in Hong Kong. Everyone at Gammon is invited to visit the building to learn at first-hand about this exciting project. So my message to you all is Stay Safe, Go Green! 6月20日，金門全體員工放下手上的工作，參與「安全反思會」，我衷心感謝各位以 及分判商，在會上提供了多項與工作安全相關的寶貴和有建設性的建議。 我們仔細分析過去發生的傷亡和嚴重意外，了解我們的不足之處，很多時意 On 20 June we all stopped, stepped back, and considered the vital 外的成因涉及違反既定的規則或條例，以及監督不足，另一方面，意外發生可歸 issue of Safety, and I would like to thank staff and subcontractors for 咎於我們抱有一些固有的成見，而忽視安全措施。 participating in the Company-wide Stand Down which resulted in 所以，我們必須重新檢視推行「安全」的方法，而管理層亦會作出主動和關懷 many very interesting and valuable ideas. 員工的領導，與此同時，每一位員工亦應負起自己的安全責任，並與分判商加強 Our analysis of fatalities and serious accidents identified a 聯繫，因為分判商亦是金門團隊的重要一環。 number of problems.

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.

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.

BIM • Building Information Modelling • Building Information Management • Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) • 建築信息模擬 (Hong Kong) • 建築信息模型 (China) • 建築資訊模擬 (Taiwan) Limitations of 2D Drawings • Difficult to visualize the design with separate drawings • Plans • Elevations • Sections • 3D views • Perspectives • Details • Schedules The elephant metaphor of reality • 2D drawings limit information accuracy & coordination • Drawings cannot be used as ‘input’ for scientific and quantitative analysis, i.e. –performance validation Information and Model 2D ‐ Drawing 1D – Text Information 3D ‐ Model • Area Schedule • Plan • Finishing Schedule • Section • Door/Window Schedule • Elevation • Beam/Column Schedule • Area Diagrams • Equipment Schedule • Schematic Designs • Program • General Building Plans • Cost Estimate • Structural Plans • Quantity Take Off • E/M Drawings • Bills of Quantities • Schematics • Variations • Other Diagrams / Details CAD Vs BIM (3D Model) Object based Parametric geometry + Attributes http://www.cadtobim.com/what‐is‐bim.html Parametric Change Engine in BIM Automatically coordinates changes made anywhere –model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections ad plans e.g. Change or delete the roof light in any views will automatically coordinate others, hence no discrepancies among drawings, schedules.
