Recognised as a pioneer for multi-storey MiC project in Hong Kong, WSP designed robust MiC steel modules for the building to secure lateral stability and save construction and transportation costs. To effectively reduce the complexity of site installation, we standardised the module size with over 70% of typical structures modularised by prefabrication. By adopting MiC approach, we shortened the overall construction programme by 40%, reduced construction wastage on site as well as achieved better quality with cost-effectiveness and in a safe site environment.
