Hong Kong Fo Tan Au Pui Wan Primary School, located at Au Pui Wan Street, Fo Tan, Sha Tin, Hong Kong, is the first school project in Hong Kong to feature a fair-faced concrete frame MiC structure. The project is commissioned by the Hong Kong Architectural Services Department, with Luen Lee Construction as the contractor, and will become a modern campus upon completion.

The project consists of 164 MiC modules, with a total construction area of approximately 2,893㎡, forming a five-storey building that cleverly integrates six major functional modules: classrooms, corridors, toilets, pantries, roof spaces and balconies. In terms of educational facility planning, 24 classrooms are scientifically arranged, each accommodating 30 students, providing a total of up to 700 educational places, fully meeting educational needs.

In terms of supporting facilities, Lü Youjia possesses a set of advanced energy-saving and environmentally friendly Twin-120 type mixing stations, equipped with mobile batching equipment, an automated rebar processing line, as well as mixing stations and standardised laboratories certified by Hong Kong QSPSC. With strong supply and production capabilities, it can efficiently produce concrete MiC prefabricated modules, as well as prefabricated external walls, staircases and other components, with a production cycle of only 15 days per module, ensuring efficient project progression and high-quality completion.

In terms of technological innovation, the project adopts a concrete frame MiC structural system, enhancing the overall prefabrication rate, reducing on-site casting and manual finishing processes, thereby accelerating construction progress and improving the level of industrialisation. Based on an integrated construction model, AluHouse innovatively uses full aluminium alloy moulds for casting, achieving integrated building formation, easy assembly and disassembly, environmental friendliness, and a high rate of reuse.

In addition, AluHouse faced challenges head-on and successfully overcame the technical difficulties in constructing fair-faced concrete. Not only did it meet the complex requirements of the striated wall finish, but through precise cutting and decorative techniques, it also brought out a unique brilliance on the fair-faced concrete surface, transforming it into a modern and artistically expressive campus.

A modern campus, with the structural design of its buildings, can inversely influence changes in learning methods. A superior learning environment possesses the potential to cultivate abilities, prompting students to actively explore and engage in self-discovery, thereby achieving a resonance effect.

The successful topping out of the Fo Tan Ao Bei Wan Street Primary School project is not only another significant achievement for AluHouse in the field of prefabricated composite construction, but also a recognition of its one-stop production model and technological innovation capabilities.

At that time, while the project promotes the development of education in Hong Kong, it also serves as a powerful practice of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development in the Hong Kong construction industry. In the future, AluHouse will continue to uphold the principles of innovation, environmental protection, and efficiency, bringing more breakthroughs and achievements to the construction sector, and jointly writing a new chapter in green building.
