(Part I)
Mr. C K Lau M.H., J.P., FHKIS, FRICS, RPS, AP
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Construction Industry Institute Hong Kong have jointly developed a system for building repairs, called the Rapid Demountable Platform (RDP). The RDP provides an alternative system which is safer than the traditional bamboo truss-out scaffolds when carrying out repair and maintenance works on the external face high-rise buildings.
Unlike bamboo truss-out scaffold which relies on proper installation of a few anchor bolts fixed to external walls, the RDP is a robust and solidly built device with light-weight steel panels and fixtures. To maximize convenience for workers, RDP can be easily installed and dismantled within 15 minutes of time. It can be fixed along the window side of a residential flat and hung over the external wall for workers to carry out their job duties safely at height.
Moreover, this modular-based platform is flexible and can suit workers?need in carrying out various minor maintenance works, including external wall inspections, changing air-conditioning units, maintenance of plumbing systems, paintings, etc.
A video of the Rapid Demountable Platform (RDP) will be shown.
(Part II)
Ir. Dr. Frederick Y. P. So, MHKIE, MCIOB, MHKICM, Ph.D, M.Sc., Chartered Builder, Registered Professional Engineer (Builder)
RMAA (Repair, Maintenance, Alteration & Additions) Works to existing buildings has become a focus of attraction recently in terms of safety, hygiene, health, etc. Problems encountered in RMAA works, particularly for existing high-rise residential buildings are numerous, especially when these are to do with putting up of bamboo scaffolds for the repair to the external walls of buildings.
Ir. Frederick So, pioneer in the use of mechanized formworks for construction works, has developed an innovative and effective climbform system for external wall face-lifting and repair works. He will share his experience in the application of this new approach to an existing building, namely Estroil Court at Garden Road, Hong Kong.
