SHING MUN RIVER TO BE DESILTED
***
WORK WILL START IN MAY ON DESILTING THE SHING MUN RIVER AT SHA TIN.
SILT, MUD AND OTHER DEPOSITS WILL BE REMOVED FROM A TWO- KILOMETRE STRETCH OF THE CONCRETE-LINED RIVER CHANNEL FROM THE LOWER SHING MUN DAM TO THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY BRIDGE NEAR TAI WAI.
THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES DIGGING A DRY-WEATHER CHANNEL OVER THE SAME LENGTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER,
THIS IS DESIGNED TO LEAD WATER AWAY IN THE DRY SEASON, WHEN THE LEVEL OF THE RIVER IS NORMALLY VERY LOW, AND TO PREVENT SILT FROM BEING DEPOSITED ON THE MAIN RIVER CHANNEL BED DUE TO SLOW WATER MOVEMENT.
THE CHANNEL WILL BE TWO-AND-A-HALF-METRE WIDE AND ONE METRE DEEP.
THE WORK. FOR WHICH THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT IS INVITING TENDERS BY APRIL 13, WILL BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR THE DRY WEATHER IN NOVEMBER.
TENDERS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE CHAIRMAN, CENTRAL TENDER BOARD. AND PLACED IN THE SECRETARIAT TENDER BOX IN THE LIFT LOBBY ON THE LOWER GROUND FLOOR OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, EAST WING, LOWER ALBERT ROAD.
TENDER FORMS AND FURTHER PARTICULARS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CHIEF ENGINEER, HIGHWAYS (NT) DIVISION, SECOND FLOOR, FARM ROAD GOVERNMENT BRANCH OFFICES, 11 FARM ROAD, KOWLOON.
