Proud to showcase our Kwu Tung Station 1601 project, where innovation meets safety excellence. As Hong Kong's first MTR station being built above an operating railway tunnel, we have maintained zero accident for 17 months through smart tech integration and strong safety culture. Thank you to Ir Prof. Thomas HO, Chairman of the CIC, the delegation from Leighton Asia and MTR's leadership for visiting our site. #KwuTungStation #ConstructionSafety #ZeroAccident #Innovation #DragagesHongKong

The CIC has always been supportive of the development of infrastructure in the Northern Metropolis. Ir Prof. Thomas HO, Chairman of the CIC, together with Mr. Colman WONG, General Manager of Leighton Asia, and Mr. Colin BIRKBY, Executive Director of Leighton Asia, being invited by Mr. Carl DEVLIN, Capital Works Director at MTR Corporation Limited, visited the Kwu Tung Station sites. MTR Corporation is currently advancing the Northern Link project, with railway as the backbone of mass transportation in the Northern Metropolis. Kwu Tung Station on East Rail Line as the phase 1 of the project commenced construction in 2023, with target completion in 2027. As the first new station built atop an operating railway tunnel in Hong Kong, the project is huge and complex. The team has applied Design for Safety principles and technologies such as BIM, Automatic Deformation Monitoring System, automatic drainage system, to ensure the excavation works are highly efficient and safe. Ir Dominic LAW, MTR’s Head of Project Delivery – Northern Link (Phase 1), said that apart from technologies, the management team has also promoted a safety culture from top to bottom. This resulted in the outstanding performance of a zero-accident record in construction in the past 17 months. The management of Leighton Asia expressed recognition of the safety culture of the project team. Ir Prof. Thomas HO said that the project team has made good use of technology and has also taken care of the safety of frontline workers by introducing a tailor-made mobile elevating work platform and prefabricated modules. He hopes that the industry would continue to learn from successful examples to improve safety standards. 【港鐵古洞站項目以科技應對挑戰】 北部都會區乃香港未來發展重點，完善的鐵路及交通網絡將是驅動民生與經濟的重要引擎。建造業議會一直支持推展北都基建，議會主席何安誠教授工程師日前聯同禮頓亞洲香港區總經理王朝正先生及項目執行總監Colin BIRKBY先生，應港鐵公司項目及工程拓展總監鄧輝豪先生邀請到訪東鐵綫古洞站工地。 港鐵公司現正推展北環綫項目，以鐵路作爲未來北都的集體運輸骨幹。項目第一期，即東鐵綫古洞站，已於2023年動工，預計在2027年竣工。古洞站是香港首個於營運中的鐵路隧道上興建的新車站，工程龐大複雜。團隊引入建築設計安全概念、建築信息模擬、自動感應監測系統、自動地下水壓調節系統等技術，確保挖掘工程高效安全。港鐵項目執行主管 – 北環綫（第一期） 羅廸高工程師表示，除了應用科技，管理層上行下效推動安全文化，施工17個月以來保持零意外的良好表現。 禮頓亞洲管理層對項目團隊的安全文化深表認同。議會主席何教授工程師亦稱，團隊善用科技，更關顧前線工友安全，引入特製升降台及善用預制組件，期望業界學習，共建安全文化。 #CIC #ConstructionIndustryCouncil #CrossCompanySafetyVisit #Safety #Technology #KwuTungStation #建造業議會 #安全互訪 #古洞站
