Phase 1 of Kai Tak Hospital (啟德醫院) has officially begun serving patients this October, opening the Specialist Out-patient Clinic Block and Oncology Block 🩺✨. This marks the first step in the progressive relocation of services from Queen Elizabeth Hospital. When fully operational, the hospital will provide 2,400 beds 🛏️ and 37 operating theatres, together with the existing two blocks of the Hong Kong Children’s Hospital. It will form a “5+2” public healthcare complex: the new medical hub of the Kowloon Central Cluster.
Meinhardt is proud to be the Civil & Structural Engineers 🏗️ 👷♂️ in the design team for this mega iconic project. Looking ahead to Phase 2, there will be 17 pedestrian link bridges and a rooftop helideck, which will shape how the hospital actually works in coming future. The longest bridge spans 60 meters above the public road, designed with steel trusses and steel tub-girders. When all bridge construction is completed in Phase 2, all patients, clinicians and visitors will be able to cross between blocks without ever stepping onto a road.
Heartfelt thanks to our client for their continued partnership, and our project team for turning a collective vision into reality through hard work and synergy. We look forward to seeing the entire facility come to life, bringing lasting wellness to our community.
