MANNINGS (ASIA) CONSULTANTS LTD is a well-established infrastructure consultant company formed by a group of enthusiastic and experienced engineers with expertise in different fields of engineering profession. Our capability covers the fields of civil, traffic, structural, geotechnical and marine engineering as well as building construction and project management. Our mission is to provide quality consulting services to our clients in assisting them to carry out their work and assignments in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Highways, Bridges, Roads and Drainage – We have highly skilled knowledge in design, management, maintenance advice on highway alignment, pavement, drainage works, etc for various kinds of infrastructure development in Hong Kong. Our team also has developed good and long term partnership/relationship with relevant departments such as Highways Department (HyD), Transport Department (TD), Civil Engineering & Development Department (CEDD), Drainage Services Department, MTRC, etc. We have been appointed by HyD to undertake the “Investigation, Design and Construction for Tai Po Tai Wo Road Noise Barrier”, “Kam Pok Road Design”, “Study of Seawall, Drainage and Environmental Works for the Construction of 2 Bridges at Tseung Kwan O Stage I Landfill Site”, “Kam Tin Road Upgrading for DIA, TIA & EIA”, “Provision of Access Facilities for the Disabled at Existing Footbridges and Subways, Phase 3 (Remainder) – Investigation”, etc.; CEDD to undertake the design and construction supervise the ”Improvement Works at Tai O including Riverwall at Yat Chung; footbridges; new jetties or jetties with improvement; salt pan demonstration area; etc.”; TD for the ”Study of the Pedestrian links in Mong Kok”; and MTRC responsible for “Engineering Inspection for all slopes along East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Light Rail and the associated slope stability analysis”. We have also been engaged by various contractors to carry out the detailed design such as “Tuen Mun Road Widening at Town Centre Section (a HK$1.5B project)”, “Tseung Kwan O Northern Bridge over the Eastern Channel, which has the overall length of 140m while the clear span width is 80m”, “Design of Mei Foo Manhattan Hill Footbridge Link”, “Tseung Kwan O Noise Barrier Costing Saving Design”, “Tsing Tin Interchange Noise Barrier Cost Saving Design”, “Technical Review on 10km Yellow Sea Bridge, Ningbo Beilun Expressway, Yongjin Expressway”, etc.

Traffic Engineering and Management – Our staff are highly experienced in preparing complicated temporary traffic management schemes (TTMS) for all kinds of projects in busy areas in order to assist the contractors in carrying out construction works in different areas of HKSAR. Our tasks include site reconnaissance, traffic surveys, data collection, and traffic analysis to assist the design and preparation of TTMS. After all, the TTMS will be presented to relevant authorities to seek for approval. We have also established contacts and good working relationship with government departments particularly Transport Department, Traffic Police, Highways Department, Water Supplies Department, Drainage Services Department, MTRC, etc. with regards to temporary traffic management works. Successful examples of complicated traffic diversion include Retrofitting of Noise Barrier along Tseung Kwan O Road, Central Wan Chai Bypass-Central Interchange that involves all busy roads nearby IFC, Construction of MTR Whampoo Station with complicated construction phases, Traffic Improvement of Tuen Mun Road Town Centre Section, etc.

Traffic Impact Assessment Study – We have also undertaken traffic impact assessment study for roadworks at sensitive routes in the territories and new private developments for different purposes such as Section 16 Application in the case of rezoning application. In HKSAR, there are many urban routes that had been classified as red or pink routes and any roadworks at these road sections will require a traffic impact assessment study to identify the potential traffic impacts arising from the implementation of roadworks and propose appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the disruption to the public. On the other hand, private developments usually require a traffic impact assessment to support their application through various government departments since traffic will be generated from these developments, which will have implication on the road network nearby.

Traffic Forecast and Transportation Planning Study – Our staff had also been heavily involved in traffic forecast study and transportation planning study both in Hong Kong and Mainland China. These studies involved mobilizing a large number of surveyors to conduct traffic surveys and data collection in order to establish the traffic model for further analysis. These studies have provided valuable information for town planning purposes and for valuation of properties, mainly tolled highways in Mainland China. 5/F, Winning Commercial Building, 46-48 Hillwood Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong Tel: (+852) 3168 2028 Fax: (+852) 3168 2022 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.manningsasia.com

Structural Engineering Design – We have proven record to derive cost effective structurally design based on the market condition of structural elements and constructability. Of particular concern is the congested urban area in Hong Kong and we will review the site constraints, traffic conditions, and constructability with special emphasis on safety. Recently, we had successfully implemented the cost saving design for the foundation of the noise barriers along Tseung Kwan O Road that enabled construction works to be effectively executed along the congested Tseung Kwan O Road. Similar successful examples are Noise Barriers along Yuen Sin Road, Noise Barriers along Tsing Tin Interchange, etc. Another classic example in our structural design is the undertaking of the design of Tuen Mun Road Improvement along Town Centre Section covering a 400m s-curve viaduct spinning off from Wong Chu Road in which bearing articulation is totally re-arranged; various types of noise barriers comprising series of noise enclosures, semi-enclosure and cantilever spanning over 20m wide carriageway with vertical green walls and green roofs; re-provision of 4 footbridges with lifts; and relocation of a LRT lift at the heavily trafficked Tuen Mun Road.

In Design and Build of Infrastructure Works for Tseung Kwan O Stage 1 Landfill Site, we had designed an arch link bridge of 140m in length and with clear span of 80m. Our design modified the reference scheme significantly by saving a large amount of piles and improving the appearance remarkably. Apart from viaduct design, we have also been extensively involved in a lot of footbridge link design and barrier free facilities design including “Footbridge Link along Mei Foo of 360m long comprising 8 individual structural steel trusses with spans varying from 30m to 50m”; “Reconstruction of Footbridge near Hsin Kuang Centre”, “Footbridge at Junction of Pui Shing Road and Ngan O Road for MTR”, “Provision of Access Facilities for the Disabled at Existing Footbridge and Subways for HyD”, etc.

In addition, we have heavily been involved in structural maintenance works. We have been the Structural Inspector for HyD’s Term Contracts for Maintenance of Roads in Kowloon East and New Territories West. We were also responsible for the design of the inspection platform for cable stayed bridge tower and design for the inspection cradle of Shenzhen Section of Shenzhen Bay Bridge. For the Cedric Bridge in Tuen Mun, we were responsible for the repairing of the aged concrete bridge with innovative approaches. 5/F, Winning Commercial Building, 46-48 Hillwood Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong Tel: (+852) 3168 2028 Fax: (+852) 3168 2022 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.manningsasia.com

In Tonkin Street, we have designed heading method for tunneling across the road. In Taikoo Shing, we have also designed a tunnel to house watermains for the development.

Engineering Inspection and Slope Stability Analysis including RE Wall – We have extensive experience in undertaking Engineering Inspection for slopes and we had inspected all slopes along East Rail, MTR and then proposed remedial or improvement measures to those of concern. We had also carried out all the RE wall designs along Tuen Mun Road from Siu Lam to Town Centre including the global analysis, checking of local stability, temporary works arrangement, etc. In Cheung Sha and Pui O Carriageway Construction, we had successfully proposed alternative in the slope design to achieve cost saving and early completion. 5/F, Winning Commercial Building, 46-48 Hillwood Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong Tel: (+852) 3168 2028 Fax: (+852) 3168 2022 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.manningsasia.com

Marine Experience – We are experienced in designing various kinds of marine structures. Currently, we are involved in the design and construction of the marine structure of the riverwall in Tai O. We have successfully modified the originally pipe pile wall to sheet pile wall that can effectively save 20% of the construction cost and shorten the construction period to within 12 months. Other marine projects undertaken by us included “Tseung Kwan O Bridge and Seawall Study”; “Plover Cove Dam Stability Study”, “Marine Cofferdam at Macau”, etc.

Internationally, Mannings have been involved in the project management for the 313km long highway project in Ethiopia. In Cambodia, we were accountable for construction review of the Monivong Bridge, a balanced cantilever bridge with the longest span of 117.5m across River Bassac at Phnom Penh, the capital.

In the Beilun Port Expressway between Beilun Port and Ningbo, we were responsible for the pavement maintenance review and to provide professional advice.
