High Speed Railway

Expressions of interest, deadline 18th September, 2008 for detailed design for tunnels and associated structures for the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong express rail link. The section from Guangzhou to Shenzhen will start operation in 2010. The Hong Kong section will use a dedicated corridor in tunnel. Plans call for the construction of a 26 km tunnel from the existing west Kowloon rail terminal to the Hong Kong-Shenzhen boundary at Huanggang. Construction is due to start in late 2009 for completion in 2014 or 2015. Expressions of interest are invited from suitably qualified combined multi-disciplinary consultants in the disciplines of civil and structural engineering, architectural, building services engineering and quantity surveying, together with specialist input as appropriate from other disciplines including environmental, acoustics, lighting, system assurance, traffic, fire engineering and landscaping. The detailed design for the tunnels and associated structures will be split into two major packages, with appointments being made in early 2009. Agreement C802 is for the design of the tunnels and associated structures (South) between West Kowloon Terminus (WKT) and Pat Heung Vent Building. This is an alignment length of approximately 15 km.

The JV Dragages - Bouygues won the €1.15 billion contract for the construction of the Tuen Mun–Chek Lap Kok link (TM-CLKL) – northern connection sub-sea tunnel section. It’s a 4.2 km-long undersea twin-tube road tunnel in Hong Kong, each tube with two traffic lanes and 14 m in diameter. The tunnel will link the New Territories, north of Hong Kong, to Lantau Island, where the international airport is located. It will be bored 50 m below sea level. Two TBMs will be used.

The two tunnel tubes will be connected every 100 m by a total of 42 cross passages. Ground-freezing technology will be used to provide a watertight environment to enable these passages to be bored.

The project will entail working in an environment in which pressure is high (over 5 bar). Maintenance operations, particularly with respect to the cutting heads of the TBMs, will be carried out by teams of divers who will live in a hyperbaric base camp for four weeks at a time to allow them to deal with any issue that may arise at any time. The operation also includes the construction of two cut-and-cover approach tunnels of 530 m and 670 m respectively. Two ventilation buildings powered by wind energy will be constructed to the north and south of the tunnel. The works are scheduled to take more than five years (63 months): handover is scheduled for the end of 2018. Visit www.hyd.gov.hk and www.bouygues-construction.com.
