Profile barriers at P2 Underpass (West Ramp section)

The Central Reclamation Phase III - Engineering Works Project involves reclamation of about 18 hectares of the seabed in front of the Star Ferry Pier from Central reclamation phase I to Lung King Street. Apart from the reclamation works, the Project also involves construction of seawalls, various road and drainage works, construction of pumping station structures, repositioning of the existing cooling water pumping system, piers and public landing steps, Government heliport and associated works, landscaping works etc. The Scope of Project was extended to include the implementation of protection works for the reclamation and the construction of Central-Wan Chai Bypass (CWB) in January and July 2009 respectively.

The Sub-Contract for Profile Barriers at P2 Underpass involves construction of about 640m of precast concrete profile barriers at P2 Underpass. The P2 Underpass is a dual-2-lane road of approximate 160m long, which comprises of east ramp, tunnel and west ramp structures. The Sub-Contract includes manufacturing of two types of special size precast concrete profile barriers at Shenzhen, People's Republic of China (PRC) and subsequent installation on-site, construction of mass concrete and cable trench with covers and construction of ductings, draw pits and holding down bolts for street lighting system.

The Scope of Sub-Contract was then extended to include the re-construction of 5 number of profile barrier terminal sections along P2 Road (now known as 'Lung Wo Road'). This extended part of works involves demolition of the existing profile barrier terminal section and subsequent re-construction, various utilities diversion works and temporary traffic management (TTM) works.

Desilting of Existing Culvert F
2003-2010

The Central Reclamation Phase III - Engineering Works Project involves reclamation of about 18 hectares of the seabed in front of the Star Ferry Pier from Central reclamation phase I to Lung King Street. Apart from the reclamation works, the Project also involves construction of seawalls, various road and drainage works, construction of pumping station structures, repositioning of the existing cooling water pumping system, piers and public landing steps, Government heliport and associated works, landscaping works etc. The Scope of Project was extended to include the implementation of protection works for the reclamation and the construction of Central-Wan Chai Bypass (CWB) in January and July 2009 respectively.

The Sub-Contract for Desilting of Existing Culvert F involves design and construction of bulk head and cofferdam at outfall of existing culvert F, regular desilting inside culvert F and associated temporary traffic management (TTM) required. The bulk head and cofferdam were constructed to control the water flowing out of the culvert and quick release of the bulk head were allowed if required. The construction works involves sheet piling, excavation and reinforced concrete works inside the sea; hence, divers were deployed for the construction works.

The Scope of Sub-Contract was then extended by instructions to include various miscellaneous works including demolition of hard flooring of the Pier No. 7, demolition of the old Star Ferry Pier clock tower, road diversion and reinstatement works.
