Program highlights

Due to inadequate capacity of the existing drainage systems, Sham Shui Po, Cheung Sha Wan and Lai Chi Kok areas are susceptible to flooding during heavy rainstorms. The Lai Chi Kok Transfer Scheme is a drainage tunnel that will capture rainwater from the upper catchment in West Kowloon and discharge it into Victoria Harbor to alleviate flooding of the low lying, developed areas of Kowloon. The project comprises the construction of a drainage tunnel of about 3.7km in length and about 4.9m in diameter from Chak On Estate to Victoria Harbor near Stonecutters Island; six intakes and about 270m of connection adits; a stilling basin and an outfall structure; and slope stabilization works. The tunnels will be constructed by TBM and will pass through rock, mixed ground and soft ground strata.  The connection adits will be constructed by blasting techniques.  Depending on the ongoing site activities, attendees to the site visit may have a unique opportunity to get a close up view of the TBM operation or the completed section of the drainage tunnel.
