\n We earned six honors across multiple categories, including the prestigious Local Grand Prize, at the Construction Industry Council Construction Innovation Award\u202f2025. These awards recognize how we leverage advanced technology, sustainable materials and digital delivery to help our clients deliver faster, smarter and better infrastructure for the community. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Local\u202f\u2013\u202fGrand\u202fPrize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Application of Ultra-high Strength S960 Steel in Civil Infrastructure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We achieved a world first by applying S960 ultra-high strength steel<\/a> to two pedestrian bridges in the Northern\u202fMetropolis. This approach reduced the number of piles and the amount of prestressed concrete required, lowering carbon emissions while improving construction efficiency and buildability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local\u202fConstruction\u202fSustainability\u202f\u2013\u202fFirst\u202fPrize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innovation in Precast Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) Permanent Tunnel Segmental Lining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are the first in Hong\u202fKong to adopt precast SFRC as a permanent tunnel segment lining. Compared with traditional steel reinforcement, this technique allows for thinner segment linings, reducing carbon emissions and waste by around\u202f70 percent while improving productivity and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local\u202fConstruction\u202fProductivity\u202f\u2013\u202fFirst Prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Development of the\u202fLoop\u202f\u2013\u202fPioneering Bridge Construction with Innovative Full-span Deck and Special Lifting Frame Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the Lok Ma Chau Loop\u2019s slip road ST01\u202fviaduct, we set a new benchmark by installing the bridge deck in just\u202ffive\u202fhours using a 360-degree rotating gantry \u2014 with only one traffic lane closed. This innovation improved safety, reduced disruption and boosted productivity on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction\u202fProductivity\u202f\u2013\u202fMerit\u202fAward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

U-shaped Tunnel Boring Machine\u202f(UTBM)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our UTBM, named \u201cBauhinia\u201d, is the world\u2019s first unilateral excavation TBM and the first of its kind in Hong\u202fKong. By combining shield advancement and segment installation in a single machine, it streamlines underground construction, enhancing safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction\u202fSustainability\u202f\u2013\u202fMerit\u202fAward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tung\u202fChung\u202fEco-shoreline:\u202fHong\u202fKong\u2019s\u202fNature-based\u202fSolution\u202ffor\u202fCoastal\u202fResilience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At Tung\u202fChung, we demonstrated how engineering and ecology can work together. Through our eco-shoreline<\/a> project, we integrated green coastal protection with biodiversity enhancement, creating resilient shorelines that support both urban development and natural ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction\u202fSafety\u202f\u2013\u202fMerit\u202fAward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI-enabled \u201cDesign for Safety 2.0\u201d \u2013 Project-specific Agentic AI Safety System for the Loop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), we developed an AI-driven safety system that combines sovereign AI architecture with construction-focused language models. It supports autonomous risk assessment and real-time hazard prevention, helping project teams manage safety more proactively across every stage of construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
