Site Formation and Infrastructure Works for the Development of ex-Cha Kwo Ling Kaolin Mine Site (Phase 2) project was awarded the Outstanding BIM Project in Civil Engineering (Diamond) in HKICBIM Award 2025
Date of Award: 17/01/2025
We were honoured to announce that "Contract No. SD/2022/02 – Site Formation and Infrastructure Works for the Development of ex-Cha Kwo Ling Kaolin Mine Site (Phase 2)" of the Civil Engineering and Development Department received the Outstanding BIM Project in Civil Engineering (Diamond) Award in HKICBIM Award 2025 organized by Hong Kong Institute of Civil and Building Information Management (HKICBIM) on 17 January 2025, which is the first Building Information Modelling (BIM) award for civil engineering projects and recognizes our engagement of BIM related technologies.
By leveraging advanced BIM applications, the project ensured efficiency, accuracy, and seamless collaboration among stakeholders, which enhanced planning, execution and management processes. For example, the project team leveraged the BIM model to perform clash analysis for soil nails, visualization of temporary works design for construction of haul road and 3D cut-and-fill analysis for effective resource management and planning. With the help of BIM model integrated with Augmented reality (AR), photogrammetry and 4D video modeling could visualize construction sequences which effectively enhanced project management. The project team also utilized BIM to simulate stormwater flow and visualize the acoustic effect arising from the construction works and the changing terrain throughout the construction period. Furthermore, BIM technology was also used to help building up digital models of major cultural heritage at Cha Kwo Ling Village for future use.
The project team carries out BIM strategic objectives and demonstrates the values of BIM in delivering high-quality civil engineering projects. By using BIM technology, the project team has enhanced collaboration, driven innovation, and supported sustainable development – building a smarter, greener future for Hong Kong.
