Managing materials testing in public
housing construction projects for integrity
在公共房屋建造項目中材料試驗的誠信管理
Ir Joe B.M. LEUNG Senior Civil Engineer Housing Department 13 July 2015
Importance of Integrity in Testing Services for
Public Housing Projects
• It is targeted to provide about 250,000 public housing flats in ten years from 2015/2016
• The buildings must meet the quality standards and fit for their purposes
• Independent laboratories are employed to sample and carry out tests on materials and workmanship
Types of Testing Services engaged for the
Public housing projects Package A Contracts
(Construction Materials)
(建築材料)
Concrete, reinforcement,
structural steel, other construction
materials
Package C Contracts (Non-destructive Pile Testing)
(非破壞性的樁柱測試)
Piles Driving Analyser Test, Pile Integrity Test, Weld Test, Loading Test
and Bell-out Test
Testing of Prefabrication of Steelwork in Guangdong
(境外鋼材及焊接測試)
Steel materials and welds
Package D Contracts (Maintenance & Building
Materials)
(維修及建造材料)
Diagnostic testing for repair and maintenanceworks, repair mortar, building components,
asbestos
• The testing services are procured in the form of Term Contracts
(定期合約) for periods of 18 - 24 months
• Managed by the Materials Testing Management Unit (材料試驗管理小組) under the Development and Construction Division (發展及建築處) of Housing Department
• Number of current testing services contracts:

(a)
CCTV(b)
RFID
a) HD arranges monitoring system to be installed at the site testing area and images are captured at regularintervals. The captured images can be viewed on-line by HD’s staff and the testing laboratories. Besides,the laboratories are required to provide Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) with recording function overseeingthe sample storage areas.
b) RFID (Radio Frequency Identification - 無線射頻識別技術) technology is used for tracking the concretecube samples to prevent fraudulent specimen and streamline data management.

Performance assessment of Laboratories • Laboratory Assessment Scoring System (LASS) is developed to
measure and monitor objectively the performance of laboratoriesquarterly.
• LASS score comprises two parts :
Part A Score (By Surveillance Team) covers 3 aspects namely the Laboratory Management Assessment, Laboratory Quality System Assessment and Laboratory Testing Assessment
Part B Score (By Surveillance Team & Project Team) covers 2 aspects namely MTMU Inspection Team Assessment and Project Officers' Assessment
LASS Final Score
25% + 75% = 100% (max. score)
• Feedback will be provided to laboratory for improvements.
•
The LASS score will be reported to Housing Department’s committeefor consideration of follow-up action if the performance of alaboratory is considered poor.
