Project Administration Handbook for Civil Engineering Works 2020 Edition Chapter 3 Project Administration Handbook for Civil Engineering Works 2020 Edition CHAPTER 3 LAND MATTERS The parts of the PAH shown in blue and bold should only be updated by Works Branch of Development Bureau. Rev Issue Date Amendment Incorporated First Issue October 2020 NA Chapter 3 (Rev. 0) 1 Project Administration Handbook for Civil Engineering Works 2020 Edition SYNOPSIS This chapter sets out the procedures for the acquisition and control of land required for projects managed by CEDD, DSD, HyD and WSD. It does not cover the land requirements of quasi-government bodies such as the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), but it describes the procedures necessary to avoid any possible interference with these land requirements. The authority for land matters is the Director of Lands (D of L) who exercises his duties through the respective District Lands Offices (DLOs). The role of CEDD, DSD, HyD and WSD in land matters is either as a works department requiring the temporary use of the site and associated areas, or in some instances as the operation department requiring the permanent use of the land. Because of the large number of departments that have a pertinent interest in land matters, it is necessary for formal procedures for the reservation, allocation, acquisition and clearance of land to be followed before any land can be made available for works to proceed. This chapter does not give details of procedures to be followed by the Lands Department (LandsD), which are covered by Land Instructions (LIs). However, reflections have been made to concur with the procedures laid down in the LIs. It describes certain legislative procedures related to land matters, such as the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance, Land Drainage Ordinance, Foreshore and Seabed (Reclamations) Ordinance, Town Planning Ordinance, Sewage Tunnels (Statutory Easements) Ordinance, Water Pollution Control (Sewerage) Regulation and the Road Traffic Ordinance under which formal consultation with the public is mandatory. The need for timely commencement of the various stages of land procedures is emphasized. Nevertheless, the readers are reminded that the latest updates of the reference documents should always be referred to. When the land is available for works to proceed, usually a third party, e.g. a contractor, takes possession of the site. It is necessary that the land is properly managed during the course of the works and that all or part of it is handed back to the Land Authority in a prescribed manner in due course. Guidance on these aspects of project administration is given, including the need for suitable contractual arrangements where contractors are involved. Some measures have been introduced to streamline the delivery of public works projects, including an expedited procedure implemented by the LandsD. For a project which is of average size, LandsD shall deliver the site to Works Departments within eight months after the Executive Council (ExCo) authorization of the road scheme under the Roads (Works, Use and Compensation) Ordinance, Cap. 370 or ExCo decision on the public purpose of the project under Cap. 124, whichever is the later. In addition, simplified procedures have also been promulgated for submission of Land Requirement Report and Land Requirement Plan.

  • Application of Automatic Platform Gates to Reduce Safety Risks
    APPLICATION OF AUTOMATIC PLATFORM GATES TO REDUCE SAFETY RISKS K.M. LEUNG BSc(Eng), MSc, PhD, CEng, FIMechE, FHKIE, MIET P.H. SZE BEng, MSc, CEng, MIMechE, MHKIE Railways Branch, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SUMMARY Before 2002, Hong Kong had an average of around 20 railway suicides and attempted suicide cases every year, where individuals jumped onto a track into the path of an approaching train. Of these, over 10 cases per year were fatal. That was the time when metro stations of the Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line and Island Line of our railway system had not been fitted with platform screen doors (PSDs) nor automatic platform gates (APGs)1*. Nor were these stations, commissioned in the late 1970s and early 1980s, designed for the installation of safety barriers like PSDs or APGs. All new metro lines and railway lines built since 1998, including the Airport Express Line and Tung Chung Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, West Rail Line (WRL) and Disneyland Resort Line, have been fitted with either PSDs or APGs. As a result of initiatives by the Government and the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), all 30 underground metro stations were retrofitted with PSDs by 2006 with the aim of enhancing platform conditions, and by 2011 all the eight above-ground metro stations of the Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line and Island Line were also retrofitted with APGs. After completion, the annual average railway suicides and attempted suicide cases had dropped significantly to five cases in 2014, three of which were fatal.

  • Environmental Management and Performance
    ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE LAND AND WATERBORNE TRANSPORT Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. A safe, efficient, reliable and environment friendly transport system is important to the sustainable development of the city. On environmental management, we will continue to press ahead with the following initiatives - promotion of environment friendly transport modes; reduction in traffic congestion and better inter-modal co-ordination; promotion of non-mechanised transport mode; and application of Information Technology (IT) in transport management. Priority for Efficient and Environment Friendly Transport Modes Railways are the backbone of our public transport system. They are environment friendly, safe and efficient mass carriers in Hong Kong, carrying about 40% of our public transport passengers. The total length of our railways under operation is about 231 kilometres (km). We are taking forward the following two railway projects in full swing - Shatin to Central Link; and Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. Upon completion of these railway passenger lines, the total length of railways in operation in Hong Kong will be increased to 270 km. The Government announced the Railway Development Strategy 2014 (RDS- 2014) on 17 September 2014. Having regard to transport demand, cost effectiveness and the development needs of New Development Areas and other new development projects, RDS-2014 recommends that seven new railway projects be completed in the planning horizon up to 2031, including Northern Link (and Kwu Tung Station); Tuen Mun South Extension; East Kowloon Line; Tung Chung West Extension; Hung Shui Kiu Station; South Island Line (West) and North Island Line.
