The H.K. Brick-Laying & Construction Trade Workers’ Union H.K. Brick-Laying & Construction Trade Workers’ Union is one of the unions of professional applicators and workers among the Hong Kong construction industry. In September 2013, their committee and members visited the OPTIMIX manufacturing plant.

OPTIMIX invited the senior management and their colleagues, of the newly established subsidiary of the New World Group, Hip Seng Construction Co. Ltd. to visit its plant and share its material technology, in pre-bagged cementitious dry mortars. OPTIMIX's Technical Director, Ir. Raymond Wan, introduced the latest dry mortar manufacturing technology and the R&D results in advanced cementitious plastering, tiling, and self leveling flooring systems. Hip Seng shared certain cases that occurred on their projects and were interested in how Optimix products could assist them to assure their application quality on sites.

Both OPTIMIX and its guests have exchanged material technologies and experiences during this plant visit.

Guangzhou International Finance Center (Guangzhou West Tower), located at the core of Pearl River New City, southwestern financial business district, is a landmark on the axis of Guangzhou. The project has high quality requirements for the underground parking lot renovation. After the stringent performance comparison of all the major brands by the owner and main contractor, they confirmed to use OPTIMIX products. The application was challenging, since the Four Seasons Hotel continued to operate as normal above the underground renovation area, such that the construction noise, generated by floor grinding machines, had to be maintained to a minimal level so as not to affect the operation of the hotel. Accordingly, the applicator had to manually pre-treat the uneven surface of the existing ground before the application of self leveling underlayment. After several days of effort, the renovation was successfully completed. Although the application surface was treated manually, the OPTIMIX product performed well and was finished to level and smooth, without experiencing any problems evident in traditional floor screeds, such as lamination, weakness, powdering, etc. Product used: •  OPTIMIX SF818 Self-Leveling Underlayment
