CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The Consultants have developed cost estimates for constructing the replacement airport based on prices prevailing as of mid-1979. All costs are expressed in Hong Kong dollars, and the detailed report provides the basis for developing unit cost estimates for each line item. The costs summarized below are divided into three discrete phases:
•
•
•
Phase la is the initial runway, taxiway, and
facilities.
all related support
Phase Ib is the additional fill south of the immediate environs of the airport in Tung Chung Bay,
Phase II is the second runway, taxiway system and related support facilities.
Costs have been subdivided into those that traditionally accrue to the airport account and those that are normally the responsibility of tenants or the Government. These cost elements have been totalled to indicate the full
commitment of Hong Kong resources required to im- plement a replacement airport programme. In 1979 Hong Kong dollars, this commitment would be about HK $9.6 thousand million, excluding credits for salvage of land and facilities now used for other purposes.
