  • Legislative Council Brief -- Unusual Ground Settlement in Tseung Kwan O
    Ref. L/M(3) in WB(CR) 38/01/15(00) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF UNUSUAL GROUND SETTLEMENT IN TSEUNG KWAN O INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 21 November 2000, the Council noted the investigation findings on the unusual ground settlement in Tseung Kwan O (TKO). BACKGROUND 2. Unusual ground settlement in the TKO reclamation was first reported in early 1999. A detailed investigation of the causes of the unusual settlement and its effect on existing buildings and other facilities has now been completed. 3. The extent of area affected by the unusual settlement, comprising mainly Tiu Keng Leng, TKO town centre, TKO Area 86 and the TKO Industrial Estate (TKOIE), is shown in Figure 1 at Annex A. The locations of existing residential buildings (in three zones) at the affected town centre are shown in Figure 2 at Annex B. MAGNITUDE OF SETTLEMENT AND LATEST STATUS 4. The magnitude of settlement varies in different areas. At Tiu Keng Leng and the part of town centre to the north of Tong Ming Street, the settlement was very small being in the range of only 70 to 80 mm measured since early 1999. Further south of the town centre between Tong Ming Street and Tong Tak Street, this settlement measured since early 1999 ranged from 150 to 270 mm. In other areas of TKO reclamation, including Area 86 and TKOIE, the settlement ranged from 50 to about 800 mm. 1 5. In almost all the areas, the highest rate of settlement (approximately 40 mm per month at the town centre and up to 160 mm per month for part of other areas) was recorded in the first six to nine months of 1999.
