Temporary Quarantine Facilities (TQF) constructed using fast-track Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) technology

With MiC, free-standing integrated modules are manufactured and assembled in a factory. By transferring on-site construction processes to a controlled factory environment, buildings can be substantially completed offsite.

During COVID-19 outbreak in Hong Kong, quarantine facilities are set up to accommodate individuals who are subject to quarantine as being the close contacts of confirmed cases. Hence our MiC solutions were required to ensure these habitable units serving the end-users with a safe environment for their short stay.

Realising the facilities within tight schedules, we offered structural, civil and building services mengineering design and MiC consultancy services.

When these centres cease operation, the MiC modules allow the structure to be disassembled for other purposes such as interim housing.
