URA’s Managing Director Ir Wai Chi Sing posted on his blog about Central Market, which was handed over to the URA on 10.10.2017 for revitalisation. Ir Wai and two experts paid a visit to the Central Market building, which was in a deteriorating condition. He added that the Authority was exploring the possible use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRP) as structural enhancement to strengthen the existing structure of the building and would make an enquiry submission to the Buildings Department to ascertain the extent of the application of FRP in the project.
