Since tower cranes often operate in overlapping work zones, putting into place effective anti-collision systems is a common safety practice on construction sites. With this in mind, Construction team A and Aegis Engineering together developed an anti-collision testing model that minimizes hazard risks. Their efforts in this endeavour earned them the Work Safety Gold Award.

Construction team A, Aegis Engineering: Air traffic control incidents at the Civil Aviation Department can really spread a great deal of panic. Tower crane anti-collision systems on construction sites help allay accident fears. We designed this particular model so we could run a series of tests before carrying out actual work. We plan to digitalize the model to help minimize overall costs and to get test results recorded automatically.

The Quality Raising Gold Award went to Hong Yip, which designed a website for e-statements that offers residents a more convenient and eco-friendly way to pay their management fees.

Hong Yip: We came up with this idea that is in line with the Company's Green Policy. We also took customers' desire for digital bills and our team's work load into account. In the future, we will work to introduce more digital payment systems for even greater tenant convenience.

The integrated SHKP Malls App has been officially launched with new functions rolling out in phases.

The first phase covers 11 SHKP Malls, extending to 26 later in the year. The mobile app has four major features presently:

Eat E-asy with the e-ticket and e-table booking functions, Park E-asy that offers real-time car lot vacancy information as well as parking navigation, exclusive privileges and promotional offers. The SHKP Malls App will also launch an  integrated membership programme, allowing members to redeem reward points earned at different SHKP malls on a single platform, anytime and anywhere. They can directly use their reward points to redeem gifts as well as enjoy the VIP services and privileges at major SHKP malls. Park E-asy will also undergo a comprehensive upgrade later on, moving in the direction of contactless parking without the need for tickets or cards.

This current issue of the SHKP News has colleagues from Hong Chui to share with us tips on growing potted plants in the office.

Shade-tolerant plants, those that require only three hours of light a day, would be the best choice for an office environment, but remember not to grow too many because when photosynthesis does not occur at night, only carbon dioxide will be emitted and this leads to a higher carbon dioxide level indoors. Cactus is a good example of plants suitable for an office desk because it is easy to grow and can release oxygen at night. It can also absorb computer radiation and even formaldehyde.

SHKP published its 2016/17 Sustainability Report earlier capturing the efforts and achievements the company has made towards sustainable development. Visit www.shkp.com/html/CSR/SHKPSReport/SR2017/index_eng.html for details.
