Lessons Learnt from Highway Construction

in Hong Kong


I - 7th October 2022 (full-day)

II - 14th October 2022 (afternoon half-day)

These two complementary CPD course will be delivered on the web using Zoom.

Dissemination of experience is extremely important for the healthy development of the engineering profession. Therefore, a series of "Lessons Learnt" Web-CPD courses is launched so as to disseminate experience we gained in some past construction projects in Hong Kong and mainland China. The 4th course is on lessons learnt from highway construction in Hong Kong since the 1990s.

There have been several major highway projects being constructed in Hong Kong since the 1990s, including the Lantau Link, Route 3, Route 8, Deep Bay Link, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Link, Central-Wanchai Bypass, Central Kowloon Link, Truck Road No. 2 (T2), the new Lam Tin-Tseung Kwan O Tunnel etc. Moreover, there are several major highway improvement projects, such as the widening of Castle Peak Road, Tuen Mun Highway and Tolo Highway.

The extensive scale of construction in these highway projects may be beyond the imagination of the general public or even engineers who do not have experience in such infrastructure works. For example, these projects often include large-scale site formation, slope cutting and filling, tunnelling, construction of long-span bridges, working in environmentally very sensitive zones, reclamation and marine works etc.

In these two Web-CPD courses, the construction details and technical concerns of these Hong Kong highway projects will be presented with real-life examples. The speaker will make use of his past studies in these projects and many of the photographs in his personal collection to illustrate to the audience what has been carried out in this interesting area of construction.
