Example of applications:

• Sustainable robotic construction machinery, e.g. Remote-controlled demolition robots
• Green construction plants for excavation works, e.g. plants using electricity or with less emissions
• Concrete strength sensors for strength checking to prevent unnecessary concrete waste
• AI to determine dust, PM10 and humidity in order to control water spraying machines as they reduce dust dispersion
• Automatic wall-plastering machines
• Application of tools for optimising material use such as the ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) dashboard and Concrete Management System, combined with BIM
• GPS location technology to enhance precision of road paving, to save materials
• Digitisation for site management, e.g.
  • Smart Inspection Apps for submission and approval of inspection, application of digital site diary;
  • Integrated digital project delivery for digital monitoring and paperless site records;
  • Mobile apps for e-records, such as Daily Health Declaration Form, Personal PPE and Equipment Admin Record; mosquito control; QR code scanning for safety monitoring; recording and uploading site observations via smartphone apps; e-tickets for trip ticket record keeping;
  • Apps for equipment/plant lists, to save paper
• SIMple – An app for site management (for details, please refer to http://innovationaward.cic.hk/assets/ia-2019/CIA%202019_DSD_Eng.pdf)

Sustainability KPI:

• Number and percentage of projects applying technology to assist site or project management (no., %)
• Evaluation of effectiveness of new technology and innovative initiatives
• Percentage of construction material saved (%)
