The depot is constructed on reclaimed land with an area of 325,000 sq.m. Major works included : The removal off-site of 277,000 cu.m of surcharge material used for consolidation of reclamation for the Main Deport Building The Main Depot Building, 325m long, 84m wide and 12m high constructed with reinforced concrete pad foundations and columns supporting steel trusses spanning 21m with roof and walls formed of double skin insulated cladding Ancillary Buildings consisting of 20 structures, generally single storey buildings with construction materials and methods similar to the Main Depot The external works included all sub-surface drainage and ducting systems, preparation of all sub-ballast and drainage for the trackwork, overhead line foundations and landscaping works as well as 5 km of road using rigid concrete carriageway construction Three grade separation structures consisting of reinforced concrete box tunnel structures constructed on sub-ballast base material and two bridges crossing the railway HIGHLIGHTS : As there was no land access to the site for this multi-discipline project, careful consideration had to be given to procurement, delivery, and storage of materials. This was one of the projects in the Airport Core Programme therefore timely completion of the works was critical. The main depot building completion was paramount for the success of the project. The completion of the North Lantau Expressway bridge and associated access roads and embankments within a 3 month period emphasized the Joint Venture’s teamwork & determination to complete the works on time. .

Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

In many ways, London is involved in a less well known but nonetheless epic contest of its own – one for connectivity with the rest of the world. We cannot afford to lose. A host of up-and-coming competitors want to beat London at the things we have until now done best. By emulating and then leap-frogging London in terms of its aviation links, they hope to usurp us in terms of all the things aviation has enabled: a dynamic economy, a vibrant, international population and the cornucopia of cultural riches this brings with it, and much more besides.

  • Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 33, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W. Wong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Horn, Kowloon, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]. hk Abstract Hong Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok is scheduled to open on July 6, 1998. At present, construction of all major projects is either at the last stage or in completion. Tung Chung New Town, one of the Airport Core Programme (ACP), has been initially set up for housing 216,000 people by 2006 and providing living area for servicing staff of the new airport. Based on the case study on the development of Tung Chung New Town, this paper illustrates the relationship between transport system and land use development. In the paper, referring to many survey data and research results, the development of Tung Chung New Town is shown to be essential due to the relocation of the Hong Kong Airport. On the other hand, comparing with other new towns in Hong Kong, Tung Chung New Town is provided with better transport system links that minimize the travel time and improve the comfort and accessibility to other parts of the territory. This makes Tung Chung New Town a more attractive new town for people to reside. 1 Introduction In the past twenty years, the Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak has commenced a series of improvement to cater for the continuous growth in passengers and cargo.

  • Dispute Resolution Boards and the Hong Kong Airport: an Exciting Example of Commercial Dispute Resolution in Action
    Dispute Resolution Boards and the Hong Kong Airport: An Exciting Example of Commercial Dispute Resolution in Action By Robert K. Wrede, JD, LLM Historical Setting Since the British returned Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty in July 1997, Hong Kong has been a Special Administrative Region of the Peoples' Republic of China. Despite its return to Chinese sovereignty, Hong Kong remains, distinctly British in tone, but Asian in temperament, and its fiercely independent inhabitants continue to vigorously defend Hong Kong's autonomy under the characteristically ambiguous Chinese policy slogan: "One country, two systems." This vibrant, mountainous, densely populated former British colony is but one third the area of Rhode Island. Despite its diminutive size, however, Hong Kong has long been one of Asia's greatest trading, shipping and banking centers. Under its century-and-a-half of British rule, Hong Kong functioned, and now continues to function, both as a major trade conduit between China and the rest of the world, and as a source of its own products and economic resources. Hong Kong's British-dominated recent history, cramped geographical confines, prime coastal location, mountainous terrain, vibrant economy, proximity to mainland China and large, energetic, multicultural population have combined to create both exceptional challenges and exceptional opportunities for Hong Kong's economic, political and social development, and its role in the new global economy and strong economic and political influence on the Peoples' Republic. Among the many results of Hong Kong's growth and thriving economy has been a burgeoning construction industry, involving both numerous large-scale private projects, and many major publicly funded housing, transportation, cultural and other infrastructure projects.
