Green Construction Solutions 
 
Chun Wo's construction processes prioritise efficiency, safety, and environmental impact reduction. Chun Wo leverages advanced technologies and digitisation, such as real-time monitoring sensors installed to monitor and optimise energy and water consumption effectively. AI cameras and underwater drones were also employed to continuously monitor environmental measures and promptly address environmental parameters, site safety, and potential issues. 



The Yip Shing Street Cooperative Social Housing Project adopts the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) to build transitional social housing on vacant land, significantly enhancing  construction efficiency. 
 

Additionally, energy power storage systems were deployed to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The utilisation of solar energy for electric vehicles charging also contributes to further reductions in the environmental impact.  
 
Chun Wo also incorporates alternative design and construction techniques that focus on maximising the environmental benefits for the surrounding area. "DC/2022/02 Construction of San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works, Associated Submarine Outfall and Pui O Sewerage Works" serves as a prime example of Chun Wo's Green Construction Solutions in action. The project showcased innovative and efficient construction methods including the use of Twin-way Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to shorten the construction period thereby minimal environmental impact, and the adoption of shallow foundation in lieu of conforming piling foundation. Furthermore, the establishment of the dedicated cattle crossing corridor within the site effectively ensures the harmonious coexistence between the construction project and the surrounding ecosystem. Chun Wo also ensures the commitment to corporate sustainability by upcycling felled trees from the site to produce office furniture.
 
Chun Wo is committed to implementing environmentally friendly strategies, consistently driving digital transformation, and actively pursuing a sustainable future.
