Abstract
Since its completion last year, TV City in Tseung Kwan O has been serving as the production centre for the SAR's largest local broadcaster, Television Broadcasts Ltd (TVB). Like a genuine mini-city, the development operates around the clock, complete with a 24-hour canteen, a bank and quarters for visiting cast members in addition to the work areas.
The project was delivered to TVB by main contractor Dragages et Travaux Publics (HK) Ltd in three phases, allowing ongoing TV production to be transferred to the new facilities without any hiccups in the programme. Achieving this required complex coordination of the schedule coupled with the attention to detail inherent in the design and construction of advanced broadcast facilities.
