Popis:	Lei Yue Mun quarantine camp was the first Covid-19 isolation facility built in Hong Kong. The camp’s two sites provide 352 rooms built using innovative modular integrated construction. Smart construction technologies were also adopted to deliver the project in the shortest time possible, including real-time module logistics monitoring and automatic module detection. This addressed critical challenges encountered by the project team in terms of limited time and resources, resulting in greater construction efficiency and less environmental pollution. The project is an exemplar of adopting modular construction and smart technologies for delivering emergency facilities.
