This £3 million ocean terminal on the Kowloon waterfront includes a 1,250 ft. jetty on 1,248 prestressed hollow concrete piles (2 ft. 4 in. external diameter) and a five- floor terminal building with a total floor area of 850,000 sq. ft. Progress was main- tained despite a record number of typhoons in the area and abnormal bed rock stratum variations requiring considerable underwater work by divers. The success of Taylor Woodrow teamwork is based on the application of advanced technical procedures and the co-ordination of all activities right from the start.
