ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT CONTRACTING PIONEERING WORK Tiu Keng Leng Station, MTR Since the 1950s, Paul Y. Engineering has led the way in the use of pre-stressed concrete for bridges. Four decades later, in 1998, our design and construction of the Ting Kau Bridge across the Rambler Channel in Hong Kong – one of the world's longest cable-stayed bridges – underscored our reputation as a pioneer. For the Lamma Power Station, we successfully overcame major land reclamation challenges. And another achievement was our extensive contribution to the timely opening of the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Central Mid-levels Escalator Lap Kok. Our comprehensive tunnel engineering experience made possible a number of major stations and tunnels for the Mass Transit Railway Corporation’s world-class network. Central Mid-levels Escalator, the largest outdoor escalator network upon completion in 1993, is just another benchmark of our capability to build an innovative city.

Harbour Business Forum On-Site Liaison: Paul Zimmerman, Convener of Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Submitted by: Brian Berard Eric Rosendahl Jarrad Fallon Lucas Scotta Santiago Lora Alexander Wong Alexander Muir Becky Yang Submitted to: Project Advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, WPI Assistant Professor Project Co-advisor: Kent Rissmiller, WPI Professor Abstract Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong‟s greatest assets; however, the balance between recreational and commercial uses of the harbour favours commercial uses. Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • The 1950S Were a Period of Huge Change for Hong Kong. the End of Japanese Occupation, the Establishment of the People’S Republic of China, the U.S
    1950s The 1950s were a period of huge change for Hong Kong. The end of Japanese occupation, the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. and U.N. trade embargoes on China and a mass influx of Mainland immigrants bringing low-cost labour to the city, shaped much of Hong Kong’s social and economic landscape during this decade. Coupled with ambitious infrastructure plans and investment-friendly policies, Hong Kong laid the foundations that, over the coming decades, were to create one of the world’s greatest trading hubs. It was during this time that Dragages was awarded the contract to construct what was to become an internationally recognised Hong Kong icon: the runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour for Kai Tak Airport. Other major projects soon followed, including the Shek Pik and Plover Cove Reservoirs, which became essential lifelines providing fresh water to Hong Kong’s rapidly growing population. For Dragages, it was a decade which was to establish its credentials as a leading partner in Hong Kong’s modernisation for the next 50 years. = = 1955 – 1958 Kai Tak Airport Runway Demand for marine expertise brings Dragages to Hong Kong Increasing demand for air travel combined with the growth in airplane size led the Hong Kong Government to plan the reconstruction and extension of the existing Kai Tak runway. By extending the runway two kilometres into Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong was the first city in the world to attempt such an ambitious project. The challenges of the project, requiring extensive dredging and more than 120 hectares of reclamation, called for a construction company with strong marine and dredging experience.

  • Bravo to Tsing Yi Promenade!
    HBF Newsletter | No.14 | March 2007 Bravo to Tsing Yi Promenade! 28 March, 2007 International Speaker Luncheon Series VIII - Speaker: Mr. Mark Goh, Head of Marina Bay’s Development Agency of the Urban Development Authority (URA), Singapore (Invited only) 25 April, 2007 12:30pm - 2:00pm at HKGCC HBF & HKGCC Harbour Roundtable VII: This roundtable will consider how much the Harbour is worth via discussing 2 HBF papers. The first paper - the Total Economic Value, considers how we should manage and maximise both the priced and un-priced values of the harbour. The second paper - a Contingent Valuation study examines the value of improved planning and development of Victoria Harbour. Over the last two years, HBF has highlighted how other countries from Toronto to Singapore, are breathing life into their waterfront developments. Closer to home, HBF is pleased to highlight Tsing Yi’s promenade as a good example of a vibrant and accessible harbour-front in Hong Kong. Tsing Yi’s wide, extensive promenade is very popular and is a joy to walk down. This promenade has been designed with exercise in mind and there is a special jogging track, areas for tai chi, as well as shaded trees to keep you cool. All along are prettily planted Bougainvillea and benches to enjoy the view, plus many children parks and lots of people happily fishing. The whole promenade is about 3-4 km long and so you can get a good walk in. The only improvements we can suggest is that there should be more than 1 restaurant with outside seating, more outdoor cafes and some beverage and snack kiosks.

  • 2. Project Description
    Consultancy Agreement No. CE 63/2008 Providing Sufficient Water Depth for Kwai Tsing Container Basin and its Approach Channel Environmental Impact Assessment Report 2. Project Description 2.1 The Project Requirements and Programme The southern portion of the Rambler Channel between Tsing Yi and Kwai Chung has been developed into Hong Kong’s primary container shipment port. Nine container terminals, comprising a total of 24 berths which line the east and west sides of the channel, are collectively referred to as the Kwai Tsing Container Port (KTCP), and the waterway within the KTCP is referred to as the Kwai Tsing Container Basin (KTCB). Access for ocean-going container vessels between the KTCB and the main shipping lanes is along the section of the Northern Fairway to the south of Tsing Yi, the Western Fairway and the East Lamma Traffic Separation Scheme (ELTSS). Developments within the container shipping industry have seen the introduction of ultra-large container ships (ULCS) to the main intercontinental shipping routes. These vessels have a maximum draft of 15.5m. The current average seabed level within the KTCB is approximately -15.6mCD, while depths in parts of the approaches to the KTCB are shallower. Therefore, it is proposed under this Project to deepen the seabed level of the KTCB and its marine access route to provide adequate depth of water to enable the new generation of ULCS to call at the KTCP. The Project layout is shown in Figure 2.1 . The Project’s objective is to lower the seabed in the KTCB and its access fairways and channels so as to maintain an adequate clearance for ULCS at all times.

This section of Route 8 +298.0 mPD. The streamlined split deck enhances stability under is a 7.6km long, dual three-lane road that includes Stonecutters high wind. Bridge and its approach viaducts. Besides serving as a main route to Hong Kong International Airport, this section also provides direct trunk connections to the container terminals at The towers are constructed in concrete up to a height of about Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. +175 mPD, and the upper sections are in composite stainless steel- concrete. This is the fi rst time to use high-grade duplex stainless steel skin as an integral structural part of the upper towers. This solution is chosen to enhance the structural stability and to reduce maintenance cost by eliminating the need for re-painting. The raw materials of the bridge were sourced around the world. The stainless steel used in the upper section of the towers was imported from Sweden and fabricated into stainless steel skins in China (Zhongshan). The steel used in the deck was from Japan, Austria and Belgium and was fabricated into deck panels in Northern China (Shanhaiguan) and assembled into deck segments in Southern China (Dongguan).
