But veteran structural engineer says issues are more likely to have been due to manufacturing flaws
Hong Kong authorities have attributed a controversy involving the installation of prefabricated flats at three light public housing projects to improper assembly, while a structural engineer insists it is more likely to be due to manufacturing flaws.
Director of Architectural Services Michael Li Kiu-yin also said on Tuesday that the government must dismantle several Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) flats to investigate why workers had assembled them improperly.
“The structures near the core wall must be removed and the screws taken out to accurately assess the situation, which will essentially require a full reassembly,” he said.
