Technical Visit - The Centre for Future Construction (CFC)
Spanning over 10,000 square feet, the CFC features five interconnected zones, including the Digital Twin Hub, 4S Hub, AI Hub, Robotic Hub, and Immersive Cave. Each zone showcases advanced construction technologies such as digital twin applications, AI-powered safety solutions, robotics, and Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR) immersive training tools.
Overview of the Centre for Future Construction (CFC)
The Centre for Future Construction (CFC) is located on the 3/F of the Hong Kong Institute of Construction (HKIC) - Kowloon Bay Campus, covering over 10,000 square feet and divided into five zones.
| 4S Hub | Displays Smart Site Safety System (4S) - related equipment, such as Central Management Platform, AI alert system, and offers visitors to try on the smart wearable devices, including safety helmets and smart watches. |
| AI Hub | Hosts technology-related workshops and showcases the Safety Large Language Model developed in collaboration with the industry, allowing participants to experience the latest AI applications that being used in construction projects. |
| Digital Twin Hub | Brings the concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to City Information Modelling (CIM) and showcases successful projects and technologies including BIM, Geographic Information System (GIS), IoTs and connectivity technologies to help the industry understand the development of smart cities. |
| Immersive Cave | Utilises Reality Capture and Mixed Reality technologies including Virtual Reality (VR) Cave and AR mobile app for interactive learning, deepening the understanding of how BIM can integrate with physical environment. |
| Robotic Hub | Features advanced construction robots, such as automated drilling robots and wall finishing robots, allowing trainees to operate and experience their efficiency and safety benefits. |
