MTR Corporation using AR technology to fast-track work on Northern Link station

Augmented reality inspection system is being used at Kwu Tung station to help workers simulate future scenarios

“Applying the AR inspection system will allow us to simulate future scenarios and help workers carry out the assembly work accurately and efficiently so that we can ensure our station can open on schedule in 2027,” said Law Tik-ko, head of project delivery for the Northern Link (phase 1).

Several escalators have already been installed at the station using the technology, the South China Morning Post observed.

Kwu Tung station, located between the Sheung Shui and Lok Ma Chau stops on the East Rail line, forms part of the Northern Link.

The link will serve as the transport backbone of the Northern Metropolis megaproject near the border with mainland China.
