FIRST STAGE OF RUNWAY EXTENSION
Signing Of $102 Million Contract. On Tuesday
**
The formal signing of the $102 million contract to build the
first stage of the Hong Kong International Airport runway extension vill take place on Tuesday at 2.15 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Public
Works Department.
The Acting Director of Public Works, Mr. R.C. Clarke, vill sign
on behalf of the Government, and the Vice-president of Kuniagai Guri & Company Limited, Mr. K. Kano, for the locally established firm of contractors.
Kumagai Gumi are registered contractors to the Government and
have in the past successfully completed several large government contracts.
The works to be carried out under the contract include the reclamation
of an area in Kowloon Bay which involves the forming of some 2,600,000
square foot of land contained by 1.25 miles of seawalls.
To do this and avoid settlement of an unacceptable magnitude under
paved areas, some two million cubic yards (2.5 million tons) of soft mud
must be dredged from the sea bed to form a firm foundation.
The total volumes of filling material required will amount to some
750,000 cubic yards (one million tons of rock), and 5.5 million cubic yards
(eight million tons) of decomposed rock.
