POLICE MARRIED QUARTERS

Firestop documentation manager complete project software solution

According to www.DiscoverHongKong.com, the Police Married Quarters was the first dormitory for Chinese rank and file police officers.  In 1951, Hong Kong’s population was rapidly expanding and the need for a larger police force was urgent and the provision of living quarters was an attractive staff benefit.  The building included 140 single rooms and 28 double rooms with a semi-open design that allowed for greater interaction between residents.

In 2009, the building was renamed as PMQ.  The buildings have been retained, reinforced, refurbished and upgraded for new uses and the site is now a hub for design and creative industries.  Residential units have been converted into design studios and shops, offices for creative enterprises and lodging for visiting designers.

The Hilti Difference

The Hong Kong Architectural Services Department began enforcing contractors’ use of code compliant firestop products on jobsites such as the Police Married Quarters renovation project. Many of the existing through penetrations in the PMQ were upgraded to code compliant standards by using Hilti firestop products such as the CFS-BL firestop blocks for large opening through penetrations and CP-648 firestop wrap strips for insulated pipe through penetrations. The Hilti team presented the CFS-DM firestop documentation manager software as a total project solution for easily and efficiently documenting firestop system installations.
