Details :

The use of prefabricated steel reinforcing bar (rebar) products (e.g. cut and bent rebars and threaded/coupled rebars) produced in a highly automated off-site rebar prefabrication yard has been widely practiced in the construction industry overseas. This mode of rebar processing in a factory-like setting helps to enhance productivity, uplift built quality, improve construction safety and promote environmental performance.

After the first government approved steel reinforcing bar prefabrication yard in Hong Kong operating over 3 years, the industry starts to adopt it step by step. In 2019, government would launch 10 public works projects which at least 70% in weight of the rebars shall be prefabricated rebar products involving cutting and bending of rebars at the prefabrication yard.

This talk will include the following areas in relation to rebar prefabrication in Hong Kong:

  1. The use of prefabricated rebar products.
  2. The Construction Innovation and Technology Fund established by Construction Industry Council and its application details.
  3. The latest change of Independent Audit Team.
