Technical Visit to first stage of

Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant

By Joanne Cheng By Joanne Cheng

The technical visit to first stage of Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant (TKODP) was successfully
organised by ICE HKA G&S on 24 September 2022 with 44 participants.

The project team first introduced the treatment processes to be adopted in TKODP. Moreover, new
building technologies applied in this project were introduced, including the Design for Manufacture
and Assembly (DfMA) and the use of Building Information Model (BIM) to increase construction
efficiency. The use of BIM with Augmented Reality (AR) technology was also demonstrated. This
technology could increase the efficiency of site supervision by overlaying the BIM model on top of the
site environment on tablets. Site safety was also enhanced by the application of inspection underwater
drones equipped with AI cameras.

In this visit, the desalination plant was highlighted as an integral part of water demand management,
and various advanced construction technologies were introduced. This was truly a precious experience
for young professionals to learn more about the Total Water Management Strategy. On behalf of the
ICE HKA G&S, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the organisers and speakers for the
precious opportunity and their efforts in arranging the tour.
