About this event
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has been promoting construction practices which can make construction faster, safer and greener. The use of system formwork could lead to considerable productivity gains and improvements in site safety. In view of this, the CIC is organising a webinar on "Advancement in System Formwork in Construction" to drive wider adoption of system formwork in the construction industry.
We are delighted to have two local leading experts in the field, Mr Bono KWAN from OTRON Formwork (HK) Limited and Mr Joseph WANG from the Hong Kong Formwork Contractors Association, as our speaker.
