AluHouse has recently commenced batch delivery and on-site hoisting of Prefabricated Concrete (PC) components and kitchen and bathroom MiC modules for the Yuen Long Kam Sheung Road Site 6 Phase 1 and Phase 2 Public Housing Project (hereafter referred to as the “Kam Sheung Road Site 6 Project”). This milestone propels the project into its next phase of construction.

As a public housing project led by the Hong Kong Housing Authority, the Kam Sheung Road Site 6 Project utilizes a “factory prefabrication, on-site assembly” approach to achieve efficient construction. It is expected to provide quality homes for nearly 1,000 Hong Kong families.

The Kam Sheung Road Site 6 Project is planned to include the construction of five residential towers, ranging from 15 to 16 storeys high, built upon a podium. With a scheduled construction period of 1107 days, the development will provide a total of 1,562 residential units, making it a vital public welfare project aimed at alleviating Hong Kong’s housing pressure and realizing the vision of “housing for all.”

During the construction phase, AluHouse is responsible for the design, production, and supply of 11,247 Prefabricated Concrete (PC) components for the five residential towers. This includes 2,432 MiC modules for kitchens and bathrooms. To achieve high-efficiency construction, over 90% of the manufacturing for these prefabricated components is completed off-site in the factory. On-site work is primarily limited to precision hoisting and assembly, which dramatically shortens the construction cycle compared to traditional methods and accelerates the overall project efficiency.

The range of prefabricated components supplied by AluHouse is extensive, covering core elements such as prefabricated kitchens and bathrooms (MiC units), façades, semi-precast slabs, structural walls, lift shaft walls, staircases, and refuse chutes. All these components are manufactured through a standardized assembly process using steel and aluminum molds. Strict process controls are maintained throughout production to ensure high precision and quality, laying a solid foundation for the project’s efficient advancement.

As one of Hong Kong’s first suppliers certified under the MiC-MAS (Modular Integrated Construction - Material and Component Certification Scheme) for concrete structures, AluHouse operates a 10,000-mu production base in Zhaoqing, featuring 250,000 square meters of indoor prefabrication plants. The concrete MiC division has an annual production capacity of up to 240,000 cubic meters, enabling it to precisely and systematically meet the demand for prefabricated components in large-scale residential construction and drive the project’s steady progress according to its milestones.

In terms of quality control, the entire process strictly adheres to Hong Kong’s building standards. Beginning with material submissions, a rigorous review mechanism is established to ensure every batch of materials meets high standards. The production process is continuously monitored to guarantee precision and accuracy at every stage, comprehensively safeguarding the building structure’s safety and durability.

During the production of the kitchen and bathroom MiC modules, AluHouse places great emphasis on the meticulous handling of interior finishing details. Every tile is laid to be tightly and seamlessly fitted, presenting a smooth and aesthetically pleasing visual effect. This high standard of precise and standardized craftsmanship meets the project’s specific requirements for decorative finishes while also achieving versatile adaptation and compatibility on a functional level.

With the advancement of large-scale development plans such as Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis, modular construction technology has emerged as a key driver for the high-quality development of housing, owing to its unique advantages. Industry practice indicates that projects utilizing MiC technology offer greater overall cost-effectiveness compared to traditional methods and are better suited for Hong Kong’s mountainous terrain and dense urban environment.

As a key player in the modular construction field, AluHouse has participated in multiple public housing projects in Hong Kong, supplying a cumulative total of over 50,000 prefabricated components and providing robust support for project advancement. Looking ahead, in response to the city’s public housing construction demands, AluHouse will increase its investment in R&D, focusing on the innovation and upgrading of automated production technologies. The company aims to support these development plans with higher-quality, more efficient services, thereby contributing to the advancement of Hong Kong’s public housing initiatives.

The steady and orderly progress of the Kam Sheung Road Site 6 Project will further accelerate the construction schedule of the Tai Wo Hau Project, facilitating the timely completion of the buildings. Looking ahead, AluHouse will continue to leverage its advanced modular solutions, driven by technological innovation, to provide the strong technological impetus needed to help Hong Kong citizens realize their ‘dream of a stable home,’ and to assist in elevating the city’s public housing initiatives to new heights.
