"Life First" Campaign 2024: Prioritizing Safety in Construction Sites In response to the "Life First" campaign initiative launched by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and Housing Authority (HA), BSGL co-organized a 5-day campaign with them to promote awareness and raise safety standards on construction sites. The campaign kicked off on 20th Jun, with top management from both Client and Contractor teams delivering key message about “Life First”, followed by a series of safety training and experiences sharing. In these 5 days, HA site staff together with BSGL site management teams are going to review risks and respective measures of the on-site bored piling activities, particularly, in the 5 aspects:  including 1) Working at Height; 2) Heavy Lifting; 3) Electricity Safety; 4) Working under Hot Weather; and 5) Temporary Works. BSGL always takes up roles and responsibilities to improve construction safety and is thrilled to Walk the Talk in this campaign to cascade such “Life First” message widely to fellow workforce.

🌟 Celebrating the Site Commencement at Hong Kong Science and Innovation Technology Park! 🌟 We had the honour of hosting our client and their consultant teams for a special Site Commencement Blessing Worship. On this momentous day, we marked a significant milestone by completing the first large-diameter bored pile, which will serve as the foundation for future Building 1. Under the bright sun, project teams gathered on-site, sharing wishes for a safe and smooth project journey. Continuing our tradition, we savoured delicious roasted pigs with laughter filling the air. With our shared goal and sincere wishes, we embark on this project with confidence, looking forward to its successful completion. #BachySoletancheGroupLimitedHongKong #SiteCommencement #Construction #ProjectMilestones #Teamwork

Presentation on Cutter Soil Mixing (Geomix®) for Fellow Consultants Sharing knowledges, expertise and technical insights is crucial for driving innovation, improving outcomes and ensuring sustainability in the construction industry. This holds especially true for innovative engineering practices. We recently completed successfully the largest-ever Cutter Soil Mixing project in Hong Kong, overcoming the unique challenge of low headroom conditions measuring just 6m. The goal was to improve soil properties and quality for a reclamation project while dealing with both low-headroom restrictions and environmental considerations. Our team designed and built 16 sets of Low-Headroom-Deep-Cement-Mixing (LHDCM) equipment to treat over 90,000 panels on barges, with real-time monitoring ensuring optimal results. In response to requests, our presentation covers various aspects: ** Equipment: We delve into the LHDCM machinery and its performance. ** Challenges and Solutions: We share the problems encountered and how we overcame them. ** Design Concepts: Exploring the underlying principles and design considerations. ** Quality Control and Assurance: Briefing on choice of tests and the corresponding acceptance criteria. ** Global Applications and Trends: Discovering the technology’s broader impact via different applications across the globe. We appreciate the platform provided for knowledge exchange and look forward to similar invitations from fellow professionals in the construction industry.

Rescue the Ocean - ‘Save the Earth’ Action Building on the success of our past workshops, we were pleased to partner with Caritas Dr. & Mrs. Olinto de Sousa Integrated Family Service Centre (明愛蘇沙伉儷綜合家庭服務中心) to hold another "Save the Earth" Workshop “愛護地球工作坊”. Children and their parents gathered at the centre for a fun and educational day focused on environmental and ocean conservation. The workshop featured a blend of training to spread important sustainability messages, as well as hands-on drawing activities that combined learning and creativity. The young participants’ enthusiastic engagement during the workshop was truly inspiring as they left with a deeper understanding of how to protect our planet. Following the workshop, a large-scale clean-up event at Ma On Shan Country Park as "Save the Earth" Action “愛護地球大行動” was organized. Dozens of volunteers collected litter and helped preserve this beautiful natural area. It was a meaningful day of community action for the environment. We are grateful to have played a role in these important initiatives to raise awareness and take concrete steps to protect our planet. After the Clean-up Activity, everyone enjoyed a wonderful BBQ lunch together. It was a great opportunity for all of us to bond and celebrate our collective accomplishment in making a positive environmental impact. We look forward to hosting more similar activities in the future where we can continue to make more efforts towards constructing a sustainable environment. #BachySoletancheGroupLimitedHongKong #CaritasDrandMrsOlintodeSousaIntegratedFamilyServiceCentre #RescuetheOcean #SavetheEarthAction #workshopforchildrenandparents #learning #creativity #sustainability #volunteers #environmental

New Project: HSITP Building One We are thrilled to announce that our company has been awarded the prestigious new project C2403 Foundation Works of Building 1 Development for Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park (HSITP) at Lok Ma Chau in April 2024. We are honored to be part of the HSITP's development which focuses on achieving the vision of the "one river, two banks" concept and creating the "one zone, two parks" framework. By combining government policies and technology, HSITP utilizes resources from the Co-operation Zone to evolve into a dynamic center of innovation and talent. This project focus on bored piling works, interlocking pipe piles, excavation, lateral support, and pile caps, all of which are to be completed in a year. With the tight contract duration and congested site environment, our team of skilled professionals is ready to take up the upcoming challenges.

Commencement ceremony– Wishing success to New Project at Kowloon Bay Urban renewal is an inevitable progress to keep a city young and sustainable and BSGL has won a public section redevelopment project to construct the new foundation elements on a piece of land in Kowloon Bay where multi-storey industrial factories made of structural concrete were once erected on. Overcoming old foundations and pilings with limited as-built records are certainly one of the major challenges in this project. With advanced planning and detailed study of the various construction methods on removal of old piles, the project team had already started and removed successfully close to 50% of the estimated hundred number of abandoned steel H-piles from the old factory buildings. At the same time, bored piling works to the 5 new residential blocks had also started in order to keep up with the tight construction schedule. To follow the local tradition, “Bai-San” is the ceremony to wish every success to the project and good health and safety to all involved. This site blessing was joined by the head office management and by coincidence we had the honor to have our HR Director from Paris Headquarter to witness this time. Happy to see both the client and site team enjoyed this little break time and also the delicious freshly roasted pigs from the ceremony.     Stay tuned to our further updates of the project. #BachySoletancheGroupLimitedHongKong #BaiSan #Commencementceremony #sustainable #existingsteelHpiles

Preparing to Test the Capacity of the Metasedimentary Rock in Yuen Long South Further to the upgrading the bearing capacity of igneous rocks by Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) and Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO), we are glad to be involved in the trial with further testing regime to investigate the capacity of the remaining metasedimentary rock in Yuen Long and North-West of New Territories.  In the package of full scaled static loading tests, a series of trial piles equipped with bi-directional load cells and instruments are being constructed in the selected project sites with this targeted Meta-Sedimentary rock. BSGL has just completed two of these trial piles installed with “Osterberg® Cell” in the Yuen Long South site. While waiting for the strength development of concrete pile, our project team keeps regular collection of the data given by the strain gauges installed along the pile shafts and especially at the rock socket lengths. Following the plan, a kentledge will also be set up before the start of the loading test to provide the counterweight of about 1000ton at the top of the pile to facilitate the testing of the full frictional and end bearing capacities at the rock socket and pile base. We look forward to the fruitful test results and hence an ultimate reduced scale of foundation elements while maintaining the same design capacity. #BachySoletancheGroupLimitedHongKong #fullscaledloadingtests #trialpiles #metasedimentaryrock #bidirectionalloadcell #straingauges #rockcapacity”
