As we celebrate the auspicious Lo Pan Festival today, we want to take a moment to shine a light on the unsung heroes behind the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) project. Master Lo Pan, revered as the ancestor of the construction industry in ancient China, was an outstanding architect, craftsman and inventor. His philosophy of unwavering dedication, innovative problem-solving and harmonious collaboration is the very foundation upon which these unsung heroes, involving thousands of skilled workers, craftsmen and professionals, have built the KTSP facilitates. They have poured their hearts and souls into bringing these world-class sports and entertainment facilities to life. It is thanks to their tireless efforts, technical expertise and collective spirit that the vision of KTSP is becoming a stunning reality - a source of immense pride for all of Hong Kong. These construction workers are the #unsungheroes who have transformed an ambitious plan into a tangible triumph, creating a "new home venue" that will serve as an enduring symbol of our city's sporting prowess for generations to come. To all the KTSP construction workers - we salute you! Your commitment, craftsmanship and resilience are the true foundations upon which KTSP stands tall. #KaiTakSportsPark #KTSP #KTSPeople #KaiTakYouthSportsPark #sports #leisure #entertainment #stadium #sportforall #Homevenue #LoPanFestival #LoPanFestival2024 #hiphing

Meet Daniel F., Manager - Operation at Kai Tak Sports Park. He is one of the turf management team members at the Sports Park, ensuring the facilities are well prepared and delivered in every international sports events. Recently, the team had adopted the globally renowned “Lay and Play” Technology in Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground for turf laying. “The innovative ‘Lay and Play’ method allows the efficient and instant establishment of a high-quality playing surface. A specific aftercare programme is developed for the pitch on the basis of the turf species, format, climate, day-to-day weather conditions and use requirements.”, said Daniel, illustrating the key features of #LayAndPlay method. “’Carpet hybrid’ root-zone reinforcement system has been used for turf growing at the Youth Sports Ground. It consists of an artificial carpet with a permanent or degradable backing to which artificial grass fibres are attached. The system is used as the turfgrasses are grown off-site, and can simply install on-site.” “An innovative rainwater harvesting system had also improved water drainage and irrigation in the sporting venues. Rainwater is collected, recycled and utilized for irrigation. The smart irrigation system can automatically adjust the watering schedule and frequency by monitoring the weather and humidity conditions.”, said Daniel. Being the pioneer management of “Lay and Play” Hybrid Turf in Hong Kong, the team had considered thoroughly to overcome the obstacles and fight for the goal of delivering the world-class venues with facilities meeting international standard. #KaiTakSportsPark #KTSP #KaiTakYouthSportsPark #KTSPeople #sports #leisure #entertainment #stadium #sportforall #homevenue #Football #Rugby #Athletics #Hybrid #Turf #Hybridturf #LayAndPlay #Rainharvesting #Sustainability #RevolutionizingSports #ASMGlobal
