In a continued effort to foster a safe, green, and sustainable environment, FCE and the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) of the Hong Kong Government have renewed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 29 April 2025.
FCE and CEDD entered into the first MoU back in May 2023 when the two parties joined hands to explore further innovative research in materials, technologies, and novel solutions for infrastructure and land formation. Marking a significant step forward in the collaborative journey, a new MoU was signed by Mr Michael FONG, Director of Civil Engineering and Development, and Prof. Xiang-dong LI, Dean of Faculty.
The achievements brought by the collaboration in the past two years were also showcased at the same occasion, including projects on the development of design guidelines for Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) for marine structures, the world's first S960 ultra-high strength steel footbridge, and the use of hyperspectral images and machine learning technology for tree management.
As outlined in the MoU, FCE will continue to support CEDD by providing technical advice and sharing research findings, while CEDD will facilitate the application of these results in public works projects, transforming impactful research into tangible benefits to address new and pressing issues.
