The Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre stands on a promontory of
reclaimed land in the harbour. Its striking design, particularly the
architectural roof of sweeping curves and wing-shaped canopies, presented
several problems to the builders.

The roof cladding consisted of a multi-layered acoustic build-up over which
41,100m2 of self curving external aluminium sheets were laid and 10,000m2 of
individually shaped decorative panels.

We designed a 2 tonne winched lifting system based at roof level to raise
all the cladding onto the roof. The sheets and panels were then distributed
on twin-track access systems to all parts of this highly complex roof.
