Eric Chan: Hong Kong's construction standards remain world-class; industry to seriously follow up on 'black sheep'

Eric Chan, President of the Institution of Engineers, Hong Kong, attended a media tea gathering today (the 12th), saying that Hong Kong's overall construction standards remain 'world-class', and he believes the industry and the government will seriously follow up on the 'black sheep'. He said he would not comment before grasping the full picture of the facts. Recently, a series of construction issues have emerged, including structural dimension deviations in the lift shaft walls of the clinical building at Queen Mary Hospital, and concrete strength failing to meet standards in public housing in Area 42, Tung Chung.
