    The Solution

    Results

    "Since this was one of the pilot projects adopting the Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) method, we had to use one of the strongest tower cranes (64T Liebherr 710HC-L 32/64) available in Hong Kong. The project was to build two 17-floor towers that accommodate students, management staff, as well as other facilities. Not only did the Enertainer help reduce carbon emissions and operating costs, but it also helped us save more energy with Auto Sleep Mode, which automatically turns the power off when not needed. The result was impressive and it strengthened our confidence in deploying more Enertainers at our sites."
