  • Vending Machines Set up at 10 MTR Stations for Public to Collect COVID-19 Specimen Collection Packs with Convenience
    PR080/20 6 December 2020 Vending Machines Set Up at 10 MTR Stations for Public to Collect COVID-19 Specimen Collection Packs with Convenience The MTR Corporation has been closely monitoring the pandemic and fighting the virus with the community. To facilitate the Government’s Enhanced Laboratory Surveillance Programme for the public to access COVID-19 testing service with convenience, vending machines will be set up at ten MTR stations for the public to collect COVID-19 specimen collection packs starting tomorrow (7 December 2020). Following communication with relevant government departments, ten stations across the MTR network have been identified for the purpose, namely Ngau Tau Kok, Kwai Fong, North Point, Tiu Keng Leng, Wong Chuk Hang, Tai Wai, Tai Po Market, Siu Hong, Kowloon and Tsing Yi stations. About 10,000 specimen collection packs supplied by a government contractor per day will be, in general, evenly distributed to the vending machines located in the unpaid area of these stations. Each station will have a fixed supply each day and each person can collect one pack while stocks last. Members of the public can collect the packs with their Octopus, free of charge, at the stations during operating hours. “Traffic News” of the MTR Mobile will provide information about the supply of specimen collection packs including whether stations are out of stock or packs are still available for the public’s reference. Under the premise of fighting the pandemic, the Corporation will communicate with relevant government departments and suitably adjust the arrangements for distribution points based on actual demands to facilitate the Government’s measures.

  • 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.
