The Drainage Services Department (DSD) signed a EUR496,37 million (HK$763 million) contract with Bouygues Travaux Publics in Hong Kong to build the Inter-reservoirs Transfer Scheme between Kowloon Byewash Reservoir and Lower Shing Mun Reservoir in Kowloon. The works include construction of a water tunnel of about 2.8 kilometres with a 3 metre diameter from the Kowloon Byewash Reservoir to the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir and the associated intake and outfall structures at both ends of the tunnel. When completed in 2022, the tunnel will serve dual objectives of improving the flood protection level in West Kowloon areas and optimising water conservation, by transferring collected surface runoff from the Kowloon group of reservoirs to the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir. This 38-month works contract commenced on 27.02.2019. Contract n. DC/2018/08. Visit https://www.dsd.gov.hk/EN/Our_Projects/Contracts_Consultancies_Awarded/ContractsProject2019-2.html
