Prequalification tenders invited for water works

The Water Supplies Department is inviting approved contractors to participate in a prequalification exercise for the construction of the Butterfly Valley Primary Service Reservoir at Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon.

The scope of works comprises the construction of a primary service reservoir at Butterfly Valley and all other associated civil, electrical and mechanical works including but not limited to site formation, access, pipeworks, chambers, tunnels and shafts, landscaping, control and monitoring works.

The service reservoir will have an initial stage I storage capacity of 40,000 cubic metres and will be subsequently developed in stages to its ultimate capacity of 200,000 cubic metres.

The ultimate service reservoir will comprise eight compartments. Only the stage I compartments will be built under this contract.

The site will be formed to cater for the ultimate capacity of the service reservoir. This will involve flattening of an existing knoll beside the Butterfly Valley by about 50 metres, involving an excavation of roughly one million cubic metres.

All surplus excavated materials have to be removed off site for disposal at locations to be arranged by the contractor.

Upon completion, the service reservoir will provide additional treatment and water transfer facilities for the metropolitan area and north eastern New Territories.
