  • Historical Appraisal
    Serial No.: N86 Historic Building Appraisal Old Quarry Site Structures Lei Yue Mun, Kwun Tong, Kowloon Hong Kong has been well favoured with its building stones. The high quality, Historical fine-grained granite was commonly used in construction by the time the island of Interest Hong Kong was taken over by the British in 1841. This situation continued after the British arrival, with quarries stretching along the northern coastline of the Island, ranging from Shek Tong Tsui (䞛⠀␨) in the western part to Quarry Bay (殪欂㴴) and A Kung Ngan (旧℔ⱑ) in the east. There were many new colonial buildings and structures which, at this date, were rich in local granite. Surviving examples include Flagstaff House and St John’s Cathedral. The general topography of the villages of Lei Yue Mun (歱欂攨), Ngau Tau Kok (䈃柕奺), Sai Cho Wan (勄勱䀋) and Cha Kwo Ling (勞㝄ⵢ) in Kowloon was quite hilly, offering little arable land for crop growing, but they were rich in granite. They were well known for the production of stones, and thus got the name of ‘Si Shan’ (⚃Ⱉ, ‘Four Hills’). The Qing government appointed a ‘Tau Yan’ (柕Ṣ) (headman) in each of the ‘Four Hills’ to manage the quarries. There was a ‘Sze Shan Kung So’ (⚃Ⱉ℔㇨, Communal Hall of Four Hills) to discuss matters relating to stone business. The famous Canton Cathedral (⺋ⶆ䞛⭌) was built with granite cut in the “Four Hills”. The British takeover of Kowloon and the New Territories led to a greater demand of stone for construction. At the time, the more prominent stone-cutting stores in Lei Yue Mun included Tung Li Tong (⎴⇑➪) owned by Ip Wa-shing (叱厗⊅) (1844-1914), Tung Tai Tong (⎴㲘➪) owned by Tsang Lam-on (㚦㜿 ⬱) and Tung Fuk Tong (⎴䤷➪) owned by Ip Fuk (叱䤷).

  • Paper on the Operational Arrangements for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Hong Kong
    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(4)1072/17-18(04) Ref. : CB4/PL/TP Panel on Transport Meeting on 18 May 2018 Background brief on the operational arrangements for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Hong Kong Port Purpose This paper provides background information on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge ("HZMB") project and related Hong Kong projects. It also summarizes the major views and concerns expressed by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members on the traffic and transport arrangements and related operational issues of HZMB upon its commissioning in past discussions. Background Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and related Hong Kong projects 2. HZMB is a dual three-lane carriageway in the form of bridge-cum-tunnel structure sea-crossing, linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. The project is a major cross-boundary transport infrastructure project. According to the Administration, the construction of HZMB will significantly reduce transportation costs and time for travellers and goods on roads. It has very important strategic value in terms of further enhancement of the economic development between Hong Kong, the Mainland and Macao. 3. With the connection by HZMB, the Western Pearl River Delta will fall within a reachable three-hour commuting radius of Hong Kong. The entire HZMB project consists of two parts: - 2 - (a) the HZMB Main Bridge (i.e. a 22.9 km-long bridge and 6.7 km-long subsea tunnel) situated in Mainland waters which is being taken forward by the HZMB Authority1; and (b) the link roads and boundary crossing facilities under the responsibility of the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao ("the three governments").

  • Summary of Rock-Property Measurements for Hong Kong Tuff Samples
    LBNL-58878 Summary of Rock-Property Measurements for Hong Kong Tuff Samples Patrick Dobson and Seiji Nakagawa Earth Sciences Division September 2005 LBNL-58878 Summary of Rock-Property Measurements for Hong Kong Tuff Samples Patrick Dobson and Seiji Nakagawa Earth Sciences Division Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory University of California Berkeley, California 94720 September 2005 This work was supported by the Director, Office of Science, Laboratory Directed Research and Development, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF00098. Summary A series of rock-property measurements was performed on a suite of rhyolitic tuff samples from the area above the Aberdeen Tunnel of Hong Kong. The goal of this study was to determine the mechanical properties of these samples after weathering. This report contains petrographic descriptions, porosity, bulk and grain density, as well as ultrasonic measurements, elastic modulii calculations, and rock-strength determinations. Variations in rock properties are related to alteration and the presence of fractures in the tuff. Granitic rocks located adjacent to the altered tuffs would be better candidates for underground excavations. Introduction Four rock samples received from Dr. Kam-Biu Luk (LBNL Physics Division) had previously been collected from the vicinity of the Aberdeen Tunnel on Hong Kong Island. The rock samples were obtained from surface outcrops rather than from the interior of the tunnel (the tunnel is most likely lined with cement, thus precluding sampling). Core plugs measuring 2.54 cm in diameter (1”) that were obtained from the hand samples were used for the rock-property measurements (Figure 1). Figure 1.
