Technical Visit – Fire Services Installation Prefabricate Workshop and Fire Extinguisher Refilling Plant

In line with the Government Policy to encourage the construction industry to adopt innovation and technology to enhance productivity, cost-effectiveness and safety performance, project needs to bring together Modular Integrated Construction, Design for Manufacture and Assembly, digitalization, technology, sustainability and at the same time consider the constructability and viability will become an important part of the project.

Among them, the local mechanical and electrical engineering industry has introduced prefabricated design (DfMA), and further promote the “install before insert” approach and strengthen prefab technology to achieve the integration of manufacturing and construction in a number of engineering projects, which has significantly improved engineering efficiency. 

For this Technical visit, HKIE FD will visit a local workshop which apply application of prefabricated parts including, MEP installation, firefighting services installation, hydraulic services installation and other fields. Covers projects such as prefabricated heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, installation of fire sprinkler pipes, smoke exhaust systems plantroom, and chilled water pump systems, etc. 

Recycling/ refilling fire extinguishers is good for the environment.
Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste and need to be disposed of carefully and steel is one of the world’s most recycled products. A fire extinguisher container, obviously, is made from steel. If you recycle/ refliing fire extinguishers, know that you exhaust less energy and raw materials. Creating steel from recycled materials uses 75 per cent less energy than when creating it from raw, virgin materials.
