Balfour Beatty’s 50/50 joint venture, Gammon Construction, has been awarded a HK$4.75 billion contract to deliver an Advanced Manufacturing Centre on behalf of the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation.
The contract will see Gammon deliver the 108,000-square-meter AMC facility, including a seawater district cooling system. This system, which will be used to cool the entire AMC building, is a cost-effective and environmental friendly solution for building cooling. The work will include all mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, the building façade and a significant amount of steelworks.
To ensure the project’s safe and efficient delivery, Gammon will deploy a wide range of innovative technologies and methods including BIM, modularization and offsite manufacturing techniques to improve safety and quality and contribute to a significant reduction in the duration of the project.
Early works commenced in summer 2019 with completion expected in 2021. At construction peak, the project will employ a workforce of around 1,800.
