For Hong Kong\u2019s landmark <strong>Kai Tak Sports Park<\/strong>, NORMA Group played a vital role in delivering exactly that. We spoke with <strong>Xavier Chua<\/strong>, Regional Sales Manager Industry Applications, who coordinated this key project. He told us about his experience and how several teams across NORMA Group came together to make it happen.<\/em><\/p><p>\u201cOur contribution to the Kai Tak Sports Park was focused on providing reliable and efficient pipe connection solutions,\u201d Xavier explains. \u201cIt was a cross-functional effort involving multiple teams.\u201d<\/p><p>Hong Kong\u2019s Kai Tak Sports Park is the largest sports infrastructure project in Hong Kong. The new venue, which has been officially opened earlier this year, includes a stadium, an indoor sports arena, a public sports ground, and a retail and leisure district. It is designed to host international sporting events and large-scale concerts.<\/p><p>\u201cManaging rainwater efficiently is a major challenge in large-scale developments \u2013 especially in Hong Kong\u2019s tropical climate, where heavy seasonal rainfall is common,\u201d Xavier says. At Kai Tak Sports Park, this challenge was met with the installation of a siphonic roof drainage system. Unlike traditional gravity drainage systems, siphonic systems use the natural siphon effect to move water from the roof to the outlet. This creates a full-bore flow, allowing large volumes of water to be transported quickly through smaller pipe diameters without air pockets. The advantages include high drainage capacity during intense rainfall, smaller pipe sizes, reducing space and material costs, and a more flexible pipe routing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-25fbd78 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"25fbd78\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dd2a80f\" data-id=\"dd2a80f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf0bf92 elementor--h-position-center elementor--v-position-middle elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-slides\" data-id=\"cf0bf92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;transition_speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"slides.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-slides-wrapper elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slider\" dir=\"ltr\" data-animation=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper elementor-slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-952fb7b swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Image of FGR pipe coupling at Kai Tak Sports Park\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-repeater-item-290c550 swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\"><div class=\"swiper-slide-bg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Image of FGR pipe coupling at Kai Tak Sports Park\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide-inner\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-contents\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dfac5c6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dfac5c6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2cbf44\" data-id=\"f2cbf44\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be91377 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be91377\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Xavier: \u201cNORMA Group\u2019s <strong>FGR Grip pipe couplings<\/strong> were chosen for their high performance and easy installation \u2013 key advantages in a siphonic drainage system.
