ABSTRACT
The Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns (STC) is a pioneering cavern project in Hong Kong, showcasing the use of rock caverns to unlock precious land in congested urban areas. The project faces challenges that must be overcome with positive thinking. STC is dedicated to developing and integrating various technologies to establish a model for a smart construction site. The objective of this paper is to outline our vision in establishing “STC Innovation Guidelines” for innovation development in the project to enhance productivity, efficiency and overall project success. This provides guidelines for site management staff to specify, manage, and assess innovative technologies for the project. The principle is that the design, implementation, management, and evaluation of innovative technologies require proactive engagement from the consultant, as they are uniquely positioned to discern the industry pain points that warrant transformation, along with the information technology professionals within technology companies.
