30 Years and Forward with GRC 🎉
As we prepare to launch a new series of GRC this year, we are reflecting on our 30 years of experience with GRC. Although GRC is known for its strength and durability, we still receive questions about its durability and longevity over time. In 2025, we revisit sites to review how our GRC stood the test of time.
Case Study: Water Saver Sticks 💧
WS-Sticks were selected as an innovative solution in the CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge 2021 and successfully piloted from January to July 2022 at Aperia, a CapitaLand property in Singapore. In this pilot, 85 WS-Sticks were embedded across a 375 sqm lawn, and after a 3-month acclimatization period, the grass maintained healthy growth despite a minimum 30% reduction in irrigation water. The project demonstrated a return on investment of approximately 1.8 years. Beyond financial savings, WS-Sticks contribute to sustainability by reducing water usage and maximizing the efficiency of each drop, thereby lowering the overall water footprint.
GRIPPLE at Kai Tak Sports Park 🏟️
The Kai Tak Sports Park project has enhanced both sustainability and efficiency by installing 112,250 HF2-CN8G-2M wire rope hangers beneath the bowl seating’s circular ductwork. This innovative system significantly reduces environmental impact, saving approximately 12,271.5 kg of CO₂ emissions compared to traditional M8 threaded rods, and boosts productivity by enabling installation up to six times faster, resulting in substantial labor cost savings.
Sunpipe at Po Leung Kuk Siu Hon Sum Primary School ☀️
The SSK518 project, commissioned by the Hong Kong SAR Government, involves constructing a new 24-classroom primary school at Au Pui Wan Street, Fo Tan, to reprovision the existing Po Leung Kuk Siu Hon Sum Primary School. Opened on March 19, 2025, the school incorporates MiC technology and features 8 units of the SUNPIPE 300mm Natural Lighting System, supplied by Delta Pyramax. These Sunpipe systems channel natural sunlight into classrooms and common areas, reducing reliance on artificial lighting, saving energy, and enhancing indoor environmental quality and student well-being. This integration aligns with the project's ESG objectives, promoting a sustainable learning environment.
Sunpipe at O·PARK2 ☀️
The Organic Resources Recovery Centre Phase 2 (O·PARK2) in Sha Ling, North District, spans 2.5 hectares and will treat 300 tonnes of food waste daily to produce biogas. The project includes the installation of 4 units of SUNPIPE 530mm Natural Lighting System with 7m tube length and square diffusers, designed to illuminate the driveway entrance. These systems harness natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting and potentially cutting lighting energy consumption by up to 75% during daylight hours, depending on installation specifics, available daylight, and usage patterns.
Windcatcher at Kai Tak Sports Park 🍃
The Kai Tak Sports Park is Hong Kong’s largest sports infrastructure development, designed to be a world-class destination for sports, entertainment, and community engagement. Located on the former Kai Tak Airport site, the 28-hectare complex includes a 50,000-seat main stadium, a 10,000-seat indoor arena, a 5,000-seat sports ground, and extensive retail and leisure facilities.
