Abstract

A new wave of the Covid-19 pandemic struck Hong Kong in February 2022. It led to construction of a temporary 1000-bed hospital and 10 000-bed isolation and treatment facility on an island site in just 51 days using factory-made modules. To achieve such rapid construction, module assembly was carried out at a separate site between the factories and site. Several new modular construction technologies were also developed, including adjustable base supports, large-span roof modules, universal safety barriers and an intelligent cloud platform for construction management. But to enable sustainable construction of such emergency buildings in future, further studies on demolition, recycling and relocation of modular buildings need to be carried out in the post-pandemic era.

紧急情况下快速建造模块化建筑:以中国香港为例

2022年2月，新一波新冠肺炎疫情袭击了香港。它导致在51天内使用工厂制造的模块在一个岛上建造了一个有1000个床位的临时医院和1万个床位的隔离和治疗设施。为了实现如此快速的施工，模块组装是在工厂和现场之间的单独场地进行的。还开发了几种新的模块化施工技术，包括可调节的基础支撑，大跨度屋顶模块，通用安全屏障和用于施工管理的智能云平台。但为了使此类应急建筑能够在未来可持续建设，需要在大流行后时代对模块化建筑的拆除、回收和搬迁进行进一步研究。
