Busy Hour
Although annual figures are important plan- ning parameters, hourly statistics are normal- ly used to size and design most facilities and infrastructure on an airport. The Standard Busy Rate (SBR is defined as the projected activity during the 30th busiest hour of the year. Unlike a peak rate, which will ex- perience large fluctuations from year to year. the Standard Bus Ratc provides a more reli- able measure of an airport's busy periods.

Airport Site Description
The site is located off the northern shore of Lantau Island. It will cover 1,248 hectares, of which approximately three quarters will be reclaimed land while the remaining onc quarter will comprise existing land area of Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau Islands.
Hydrodynamic studies demonstrated that a sea channel separating Lantau Island and the airport site is needed to ensure that tidal circulation is maintained and the natural flushing effects of the sea continue to occur. Based on these study results. an open sea channel was incorporated into the site plan.
The size and shape of the site was in- fluenced by the length, orientation and separation of the runways. The decision to place major facility development midfield was also a significant factor in determining the site size.
Immediately south of the site will lie a new town. to be established in the Tung Chung Valley on Lantau. This development will provide residential accommodation and re- lated facilities for airport employees and others.

Runways and Taxiways
A major consideration in developing the New Airport Master Plan was the deter- mination of an appropriate runway and taxiway layout. The study brief required progressive development into a two-runway airport and the analysis focused on the ideal locations for the runways, taxiways and re- lated lighting and navigational aids. The adequacy of the runway and taxiway capacities compared with the demand forecasts was then verified and the layout of the system was detailed in accordance with
international standards.
The final layout includes two parallel run- ways oriented northeast-southwest. Each will be 3.800m long and 60m wide, with 300m clearways at either end. The taxiway system will consist of dual parallel taxiways for each runway, rapid runway exit taxiways
