Initial Transport Assessment of Development Options
This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER NO. 35 INITIAL TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Purpose 1. The purpose of this paper is to provide information on the reference transport demand forecasts, assessment of Reference Scenario and framework for option evaluations. Background 2. Under Stage 3 of the HK2030 Study, Development Scenario and Development Options are formulated. The Development Options are then subject to transport, economic, financial as well as environmental assessments. Under the integrated approach adopted for the Study, the transport requirements identified for the Development Options are also assessed in terms of the environmental, economic and financial implications in order that a meaningful comparison of the Development Options could be made. 3. Under the Reference Scenario, various development choices have been considered to satisfy the land requirements. They can broadly be categorised into two different options of development patterns, namely Decentralisation and Consolidation. The details are presented in the paper on Development Options under the Reference Scenario. Assessments have been carried out to identify the transport requirements of the two Development Options in 2010, 2020 and 2030. The findings are summarised in the following sections. Development Options 4. Under the Reference Scenario, the population in 2030 could be in the region of 9.2 million which is only marginally more than the population of 8.9 million for 2016 adopted in the previous strategic planning. -

Better Safe Than Worry
VSLnews MONITORING OF STRUCTURES BETTER SAFE THAN WORRY SPECIAL REPORT Match-cast segmental bridge piers ABERDEEN CHANNEL BRIDGE Full-scope construction VSLnews ISSUE ONE • 2013 Anticipating structural behaviour VSL has built its reputation by providing services of high added-value Daniel Rigout, through the technical expertise of its strong worldwide network, backed Chairman and up by a dynamic R&D effort. From the earliest project phases until the end Chief Executive Officer of a structure’s life, VSL’s experts provide consultancy and engineering services that produce cost-effective, durable and sustainable solutions for our clients. The life of any structure is divided into three key phases: planning, construction and maintenance. VSL’s engineers are of invaluable support to designers carrying out feasibility studies at the planning stage, and, if relevant, can propose alternative solutions to achieve what is best for the project. How to build the structure becomes the critical issue once the design is optimised and here VSL’s teams take up the challenge to ensure fast-track and safe construction. Monitoring of structural behaviour may be required either during construction or later, when the structure is in service, in order to forecast maintenance works and allocate the corresponding budgets. In each case, our experts respond to the requirements by providing a monitoring system that is adapted to the needs and economic constraints. Once the inspection plan has been established, VSL can also handle any corresponding strengthening and repair works required. True turnkey and full-scope projects covering all phases of a structure’s life are at the heart of our business. -
Legislative Council
立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(4)1409/16-17(04) Ref. : CB4/PL/TP Panel on Transport Meeting on 21 July 2017 Background brief on replacement of traffic control and surveillance system in Tsing Ma Control Area Purpose This paper provides background information on the replacement of the traffic control and surveillance system ("TCSS") in Tsing Ma Control Area ("TMCA"). It also summarizes the major discussions by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members on financial proposals on the replacement of TCSSs in TMCA and other tunnels in the past. Background Tsing Ma Control Area 2. TMCA, opened for public use in May 1997, covers a key section of the highway route to North-West Lantau, Ma Wan and the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok. It comprises a 21-kilometre expressway network including Tsing Kwai Highway, Cheung Tsing Tunnel, Cheung Tsing Highway, Northwest Tsing Yi Interchange, Ting Kau Bridge, Tsing Yi North Coastal Road, Lantau Link, Ma Wan Road and North Lantau Highway (up to Sunny Bay Interchange). The Government enacted the Tsing Ma Control Area Ordinance (Cap. 498) to provide for the control and regulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic within TMCA and related matters. As with other Government tunnels and control areas, the Administration has selected through open tender an operator to undertake the management, operation and maintenance of the tunnel and control area.1 3. At present, the Lantau Link provides the only vehicular access to Lantau, Chek Lap Kok and Ma Wan. According to the Administration in May 2016, Lantau Link is used by 84 000 vehicles daily on average. -

Replacement of Traffic Control and Surveillance System in the Tsing Ma Control Area”
For discussion FCR(2017-18)59 on 2 February 2018 ITEM FOR FINANCE COMMITTEE CAPITAL WORKS RESERVE FUND HEAD 708 – CAPITAL SUBVENTIONS AND MAJOR SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT Transport Department New Subhead “Replacement of Traffic Control and Surveillance System in the Tsing Ma Control Area” Members are invited to approve a new commitment of $298,910,000 for the replacement of traffic control and surveillance system in the Tsing Ma Control Area. PROBLEM The Transport Department (TD) needs to replace the traffic control and surveillance system (TCSS) in the Tsing Ma Control Area (TMCA) to maintain the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the control area. PROPOSAL 2. The Commissioner for Transport, on the advice of the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, proposes to replace the TCSS in TMCA at an estimated cost of $298,910,000. The Secretary for Transport and Housing supports the proposal. /JUSTIFICATION ….. FCR(2017-18)59 Page 2 JUSTIFICATION 3. The TCSS in TMCA1 is for ensuring the safe and effective operation of the control area. The existing TCSS commenced operation when TMCA was commissioned in 1997, and has already been in use for more than 20 years. According to the Electrical and Mechanical Services Trading Fund (EMSTF), it is increasingly difficult and not cost effective to carry out repairs for the TCSS. For example, the existing multimode optical fibre cables2 in the system can only provide limited bandwidth. The telecommunication industry has long been replaced them by single-mode optical fibre cables. Other relevant equipment such as prismatic variable message signs, closed circuit television (CCTV) system and emergency telephone system are also beyond their economical serviceable life. -
