Tai Po Water Treatment Works is now undergoing an expansion to double its output capacity to 800,000 m³ per day upon completion. Being keenly aware of the responsibility towards sustainable construction, the plant is designed to merge into the surrounding landscape harmoniously by adopting the award-winning stacked design of different treatment processes to minimize the plant footprint with various green features. The plant also adopts photovoltaic panels to utilize renewable energy and water recycling systems to conserve precious water resources.
The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) is a deep-tunnel sewage conveyance and treatment scheme serving the urban areas around Victoria Harbour, with a design population of 5.7 million. It comprises two stages: 1 and 2A, consisting respectively of 23 and 21 km of sewage tunnels, at depths from 70 to 163 metres below mean sea level. The highly land-and energy-efficient Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works provides chemically enhanced primary treatment and disinfection, and has a design capacity of 2.45 million m³ per day. Commissioning of the HATS has significantly raised the water quality of Victoria Harbour and revived the marine environment.
Dedicated to the overarching principle of “Development in the North, Conservation for the South” in the Sustainable Lantau Blue print promulgated in 2017, SLO is responsible for coordination, planning and implementation of various initiatives with a view to balancing development and conservation on Lantau. TCNTE project is one of the housing and economic developments under SLO giving the showcase of our best practices and achievements in sustainable development and construction.
Anderson Road Site A & B consists of a commercial podium and 9 residential blocks with total 7,209 residential units.
Sustainable construction achievements:
- Integrated Procurement Approach (IPA) adopts a three-envelope tendering system that considers an additional factor on innovation for design and construction.
SCL1122 Admiralty South Overrun Tunnel is one of the major works in Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project. The overrun tunnel constructed by drill-and-blast method and consists of a 100-meter track bifurcation; its width varies progressively from 8m to 17.7m. To achieve such variation sustainably, the project had re-designed the tunnel profile by standardising the horse-shoe geometry to minimize the excavation volume as well as the use of temporary tunnel shutters. The project only deployed a unique side-wall formwork plus a single crown formwork to adapt all the varying profiles.
