Design of reclamation and edge structures of CT 10 & 11 commissioned
The Civil Engineering Department (CED) today (Friday) signed a $20 million consultancy agreement for the detailed design of reclamation and edge structures for Container Terminals 10 and 11 (CT 10 & 11) and their back-up areas on Lantau Island.
"The main objective of the consultancy is to design and prepare the contract documents for reclamation designs for CT 10 & 11, their back-up areas and approach channels," a spokesman for the department said.
Under the consultancy agreement, a detailed assessment of the environmental impact during the construction phase will be carried out.
"Marine ecology surveys on white dolphin, fishing activity and fish fry will also be carried out in the Lantau Port area," the spokesman said.
The CT 10 & 11 will be built on reclamation extending south-east from Penny's Bay on Lantau Island.
Each terminal consists of four berths with an operating area of 80 hectares and a quay frontage of 1,280 metres, and will be capable of handling a minimum yearly throughput of 1.6 million TEUS of containers. Back-up areas and other infrastructures necessary for operation of the terminals will also be provided.
The design work is expected to be completed in nine months.
The consultancy will be managed by the Civil Engineering Office of CED.
The contract was signed by the department's Principal Government Civil Engineer, Dr Choi Yu-leuk, and Mr Francis Bong of Maunsell Consultants Asia Ltd.
