MR BARNES LATER WENT TO THE EFFLUENT TUNNEL BORING PROJECT UNDERNEATH TATE' CAIRN WHICH FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TOLO HARBOUR EFFLUENT EXPORT SCHEME UNDER THE TOLO HARBOUR ACTION PLAN.
THE SCHEME HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO INTERCEPT THE EFFLUENTS AT THE TREATMENT WORKS AT SHA TIN AND TAI PO AND ΤΟ DIVERSE THE FLOW TO VICTORIA HARBOUR WHICH IS MORE CAPABLE IN RECEIVING THE NUTRIENT LOAD OF THE EFFLUENTS THAN TOLO HARBOUR AS IS CURRENTLY THE SITUATION.
MR BARNES NOTED THAT A SPECIAL FEATURE OF THE SCHEME IS THE USE OF A TUNNEL BORING MACHINE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TUNNEL, WHICH ALSO PLACES A PRECAST TUNNEL LINING.
IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT SUCH A MECHANISED METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN USED ON A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT.
