Balfour Beatty and its Far East joint venture, Gammon Construction, have been awarded the Homantin luxury residential project by Gold Topmont Limited. The project, worth HK$2.9 billion (c. £289 million), will become an iconic landmark in the Homantin residential area in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The project involves the construction of six residential towers, a clubhouse, outdoor swimming pool and a two-level basement with carpark areas.
To ensure the project’s safe and efficient delivery, Gammon will deploy a wide range of innovative technologies including 3D scanning for data collection, which will ensure an accurate and swift survey process, as well as defect management tools such as drones and infrared cameras.
The well-being of the workforce will be safeguarded by the use of exoskeletons for manual handling to reduce physical strain and enhance productivity for repetitive tasks.
Gammon has been working on the foundations of the project since 2017 with project completion expected in 2020. A workforce of 1,100 will be employed during peak construction.
