A jv of Dragages et Travaux Publics and Bouygues TP has been awarded two contracts worth €70 million to design and build four high voltage electricity cable tunnels for CLP Power Hong Kong. Overall length of 5.1 km for installation. The first contract involves the construction of a 1,070 m tunnel in north Kwai Chung using the drill/blast method; and a 650 m tunnel under Tsz Wan Shan Road, to be built by pipejacking using a mixed ground TBM. The second contract involves the construction of a 3,200 m tunnel across the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula by hard rock TBM, running from Pui O to Tai Long Wan along the southern coast of Lantau Island. The contract also covers the construction of a 190 m-long tunnel beneath the Tuen Mun River Channel by pipejacking using a mixed ground TBM. Detailed design is underway, and works on all four tunnels will start towards the end of 2002. Completion within three years.

The tunnel starts near the CLP Castle Peak power station and passes beneath the mountainous region of Castle Peak, finishing at a shaft near Tuen Mun Town. After the installation of electric cables (to be installed by others) the tunnel will form an integral component of CLP's power systems in the West New Territories region. Most of the 4.5 m-internal diameter tunnel will be constructed in good rock and the tunnel will be bored using a hard rock TBM with a segment erector installing precast segments. This is the fourth contract Dragages has won from CLP Power since 2002. Overall project management is by CLP Power Hong Kong and CLP's consultant is Atkins China.
