In order to cope with the increasing demand of broadcasting, TVB initiated the plan to construct its new business complex, TVB City. This strategy enables access to reliable and future-proofed power and communication solutions.
To cater this mega broadcasting development, huge Air-Conditioning (AC) plant, large electrical backup distribution system and delicate firefighting system for the sophisticated recording and sound equipment formed a major element of the works and the key factors of this project success.
Together with Young’s Engineering Co. Ltd. in a joint venture arrangement, BYME was tasked to commission the complete E&M package required for serving 118,000m2 of studios, offices, workshops and restaurants as well as 54,000m2 of external works housed in approximately 9-hectare site.
