  • Tunnels and Caverns in Hong Kong
    Tunnels and Caverns in Hong Kong Working Group on Cavern and Tunnel Engineering Hong Kong Institution of Engineers Geotechnical Division Abstract: Many tunnels and caverns have been successfully constructed in Hong Kong. These underground structures cater for water supply, mass transportation (such as railways and roads), drainage, conveyance of sewage and electrical cables, as well as for under- ground space development (such as concourse for mass transit railways, sewage treatment plant and refuse transfer station and explo- sives depot). This paper summarizes the historical and recent developments in relation to tunnels and caverns in Hong Kong. It also outlines the recent developments in risk management of tunnel works and the research being carried out by the local universities. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 GEOLOGY The population of Hong Kong has increased steadily from about Volcanic and granitic rocks are found in about 85% of Hong 2.2 million in 1950 to about 7 million today.

    Task Force on Water-Land Interface For discussion TFWL/01/2014 on 2 Apr 2014 An Overview of Ferry Piers Within the Victoria Harbour PURPOSE This paper provides an overview of ferry piers within the Victoria Harbour. BACKGROUND 2. The Task Force on Water-Land Interface was briefed on the public landing facilities around the Victoria Harbour by the Harbour Unit of Development Bureau (“DEVB”), the Civil Engineering and Development Department (“CEDD”), the Transport Department (“TD”) and the Marine Department (“MD”) at the meeting on 3 August 2012. The Task Force was also briefed on the public piers and landing facilities in Kai Tak Development, Central and Wan Chai Districts and West Kowloon Cultural District at the meetings on 12 November 2012 and 19 March 2013. This paper focuses on giving the Task Force an overview of ferry piers (other than the public piers and landing facilities) within the Victoria Harbour. LOCATION OF FERRY PIERS 3. The location of ferry piers within the Victoria Harbour is set out in Annex 1. TYPES, LAYOUTS AND SIZES OF FERRY PIERS 4. There are mainly two types of ferry piers, for operation of passenger ferry services and vehicular ferry services Task Force on Water-Land Interface TFWL/01/2014 respectively. The layouts of passenger ferry piers and vehicular ferry piers are shown in Annex 2. The size of a specific ferry pier and the form it takes depend on the number and type of ferry service(s) expected to use the pier, the anticipated passenger volume and the type of ferry vessels to be deployed for the service(s).

  • Public Works Subcommittee Meeting on 11 June 203 Response to Issues
    LC Paper No. PWSC77/12-13(01) Public Works Subcommittee Meeting on 11 June 203 Response to issues requiring follow-up actions by the Government 1. Information on the trend of diversion of the new generation of ultra large container ships (“ULCS”) from Hong Kong to the neighbouring ports including the Yantian International Container Terminals in Shenzhen if the Kwai Tsing Container Basin is not dredged The trend in international shipping is that more ultra large container ships (“ULCS”) would be built in the market to attain economy of scale and to reduce emissions per Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (“TEU”) handled. We understand that over 160 ULCS with capacity of 10 000 TEUs or more are in service, and that there are over 120 new orders of UCLS. As major transhipment ports in Asia, including the Singapore port (84% transhipment), the Busan port (45% transhipment) and to a lesser extent, the Yantian container port, have water depth of over 16 metres below Chart Datum, there is a need for us to start the dredging project as soon as possible so as to maintain the competitiveness of the Hong Kong Port in handling international transshipment. The industry has indicated that as more and more ULCS are in service, more diversion will be expected if the Kwai Tsing Container Basin and its approach channel are not dredged to the required depth to handle ULCS at all tides. 2. Whether the Government has committed to the proposed dredging of the sea-bed of Kwai Tsing Container Basin and portions of the Northern Fairway and Western Fairway in the land grants to the container terminal operators In the relevant land grants, there are provisions requiring the grantees to dredge and maintain the seabed within the area as specified on the grant plan (which in general refers to the marine frontage area of a berth) to a specified level to the satisfaction of the Government.
