  • PRESS STATEMENT 15 November 2019 Limited Service Resumes on Northern Section of MTR's East Rail Line Heavily Damaged Universit
    PRESS STATEMENT 15 November 2019 Limited Service Resumes on Northern Section of MTR’s East Rail Line Heavily Damaged University Station Remains Closed The train service on the northern section of MTR's East Rail Line from Fo Tan Station has been suspended for four days after stations and railway facilities were maliciously vandalised by rioters. Following the concerted efforts of maintenance staff to repair the damage, limited train service between Tai Po Market Station and Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau stations was resumed this afternoon (15 November 2019). However, University Station remains closed due to severe damage. The train stabled at University Station which was previously set on fire and seriously damaged could still not be moved. After a careful risk assessment, it is expected to take a longer time to plan and to carry out necessary repair works. University Station is therefore expected to remain closed for a period of time. The incidents over the past several days have adversely affected residents in the northern New Territories. We appeal to the parties concerned to stop their vandalism at railway facilities and not to throw burning objects at the railway facilities and operating trains. Otherwise, we will have to suspend the service at the affected stations or railway lines to ensure the safety of our passengers, MTR staff and railway operations, which may cause further inconvenience to passengers. A number of stations on the northern section from Fo Tan Station on East Rail Line were forced to close down because of severe damage and disruption by rioters. At around 3:00pm, limited train service between Tai Po Market Station and Lo Wu/ Lok Ma Chau stations could be resumed after the repair works by the MTR staff.

  • The Construction of the MTR West Island Line, Hong Kong Highlight on the Design, Construction and Environmental Features That M
    The construction of the MTR West Island Line, Hong Kong highlight on the design, construction and environmental features that meet Sustainability & Urban Habitat concerns Presented by Raymond Wong, MCIOB, HKIE City University of Hong Kong International Construction Conference 2011 On “Challenges Of Global Mega Projects - Sustainability & Human Habitat For Project Excellence Background For the over 200,000 population working and living in the Western District of Hong Kong, only buses and mini-buses are served as means of public transport. It is particularly inconvenient for commuters who are suffering from the frequent traffic jam during peak hours. As a result, residents of the Western District, members of the Central &Western District Council and the Legislative Council have urged strongly for the construction of the West Island Line. In response to this, the Government decided to proceed with detailed planning and preparations for the West Island Line in June 2005. The MTR Corporation submitted an updated proposal for the West Island Line to the Government in August 2006, setting out the detailed scope, cost and implementation program for the project for government’s review. This image cannot currently be displayed. After a detail study of the scheme as well as conducting a number of consultation to incorporate public views, in October 2007, the Government invited MTRC to proceed with further planning and detailed design of the West Island Line. In May 2009, the Executive Council endorsed the funding arrangement of the MTR West Island Line (WIL) Project. With that endorsement, funding approval was obtained from the Legislative Council on 3 July 2009 which signified the official commencement of this US$2 billion project.

  • Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues
    LC Paper No. CB(4)1504/17-18(01) Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of MTR Corporation Limited Purpose This paper briefs the Subcommittee on matters relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), and explains the measures taken by the Government and MTRCL on the impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities. Impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities 2. Generally speaking, foundation works causing settlement in nearby structures is not uncommon. To protect railway safety, the Government and MTRCL have put in place stringent monitoring mechanisms to handle settlement of railway facilities arising from construction works within the railway protection area. Regulatory regime of the Government 3. The Government has always accorded top priority to railway safety and has put in place a stringent regulatory system. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) regulates and monitors the safe operation of the railway system according to the Mass Transit Railway Ordinance and its subsidiary regulations. The Buildings Department (BD) regulates the planning, design and construction of buildings and associated works on private land to ensure compliance with building safety standards according to the Buildings Ordinance (BO). 4. To safeguard the structural safety of railway facilities, construction works located within the railway protection area as stipulated under Schedule 5 of the BO should comply with a more stringent set of standards. BD would require the registered building professionals responsible for the works to monitor the effect arising from the building works to the adjacent railway structures according to the requirements set out in the BO and its subsidiary regulations, and the “Practice Note for Authorized Persons, Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineers” (PNAP) issued by BD.
