The MiMEP Symposium 2024, co-organised by the Architectural Services Department and the EMSD, was held on 29 November last year, with the theme of “MiMEP and High Productivity Construction Lead the Future”. Around 800 representatives from government departments, contractors, suppliers, consultants, academic and professional institutions attended the event. The symposium featured a kaleidoscope of activities, including thematic presentations on the application of Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) technology and related exhibition booths, showcasing the merits of its application in new and existing buildings, infrastructure and DCSs, as well as its relevant requirements, floor area concessions and more.

In recent years, the Government has taken the lead in adopting in public works projects advanced construction technologies, such as Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and MiMEP technologies, which were later extended to private projects. Compared with traditional construction methods, the MiMEP approach has shown significant improvements in construction time, quality and safety management. In view of this, the EMSD is committed to promoting the MiMEP approach, and first applied this technology in 2022 to replace the chillers for the Tai Lung Veterinary Laboratory, reducing the on-site installation processes and construction time while minimising the impact of the works on the client. We subsequently applied this technology to replace the air-handling unit at the EMSD Headquarters Building too. These successful cases have become reference models for the industry.

We will continue to share our innovative solutions and R&D achievements through various activities to facilitate exchanges and communication with the industry and stakeholders, so as to promote the high-quality development of smart E&M services together.
