Sustainable solutions: Tamar Complex, Hong Kong
We are building the Tamar Complex as Hong Kong’s new seat of government. We won the contract for our ability to provide world-class design and construction as an integrated package, and for the high standards of sustainability, safety and sensitivity to local needs that we embodied in our approach. Rather than focusing on upfront capital costs, we applied whole-life cost thinking to explore a range of environmental and cost-saving opportunities over the operational life of the building.
"The Tamar development project will be an iconic
place to mark Gammon’s leading position and
Balfour Beatty’s involvement in the Hong Kong
construction industry."
Edward Yeung, Project Director, Gammon Construction Left
"This project is a fantastic platform to advance
sustainable construction. There are many
environmental aspects to the programme, from
waste management, partnering with the university
on bio-remediation, to materials sourcing."
Shirlee Algire, Group Sustainability and CSR Manager,
