To foster work enhancement and keep abreast of the latest market trends, SHKP organizes the Quality Raising Suggestion Scheme (QRSS) and Work Safety Suggestion Scheme (WSSS) annually to encourage our colleagues to develop innovative and practicable suggestions to raise work quality and safety. The 29th Quality Raising Suggestion Scheme and the 14th Work Safety Suggestion Scheme were recently successfully concluded, and the results were announced. SHKPnews introduces the Gold Award winners’ proposals, showing how they put new technology into practice.
29th Quality Raising Suggestion Scheme Gold Award winner: Lik On Technology Limited
Project Title: VR Goes Everywhere
With the rapid development of technology, virtual reality (VR) is being widely applied in various areas and industries. Lik On Technology, a subsidiary of Hong Yip, developed a VR platform, called "VR Goes Everywhere". Leveraging Matterport 3D panoramic space capture technology, the team spent half a year developing a platform to provide value-added services, including the first-ever 3D WayFinding technology, which provides virtual tours of housing developments and shopping malls. The platform can also be widely applied in various areas, including interactive mini-games for shopping malls, virtual flat tours, renovation inspections, synchronized teaching and virtual exhibitions.
"VR Goes Everywhere" was launched more than two years ago and has become mature technology. It has been adopted by 153 clients, such as shopping malls, restaurants, public service institutions and other businesses, in 52 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Spain.
14th Work Safety Suggestion Scheme Gold Award winner: Sanfield (Management)
Project Title: Working Safely on Gondolas
In view of the frequent occurrence of gondola accidents on construction sites in recent years, Sanfield (Management) successfully installed individual pulley blocks on the monorail suspended work platform, commonly known as a gondola, to improve work safety and reduce potential risks. The team installed six pulley blocks to prevent gondola derailment, comprising four large pulleys supporting the gondola and two small pulleys anchoring the lifelines and buckles to protect the workers. The design passed the safety test conducted by an independent registered engineer and was recognized by the Labour Department for protecting the workers effectively.
The design can be widely applied on all SHKP construction sites, as well as other repair and maintenance projects. The design has enhanced work-at-height safety, raised productivity by 36%, and reduced labour costs and examination time by 36% and 96%, respectively. Sanfield (Management) expect the design to benefit the construction industry and provide workers with better protection.
