HONG KONG TO CANTON HIGHWAY
A British group led by Trafalgar House has offered a free (DTI supported) project definition study to Hopewell Holdings (a HK development company), who, together with the Chinese, are jointly funding a project worth HK$8 billion to construct a super-highway between Hong Kong and Canton. Trafalgar House appear to be well placed for the bridging element in stage II of the project; which is likely to start soon.
SHENZHEN/CANTON RAILWAY (GUANGDONG PROVINCE)
A number of UK companies are interested in the third phase of a project worth £130m (UK content £65m) to upgrade the Shenzhen/Canton rail track. Japanese, French and German competition is strong and a key factor for UK chances will be the extent to which British companies can concert their efforts.
SHENZHEN AIRPORT
The Chinese are proposing to build a new airport within the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (in Guangdong Province) on the borders of China and Hong Kong. The total cost of the project is estimated at £200m with a potential UK content of £80m. British Airports International (BAI) is pursuing the opportunity on a turnkey basis with a view to entering into a Joint Venture with the Chinese to participate in the design, construction and operation of the airport.
