• Hung Shui Kiu Station on the Tuen Ma Line, removal of viaduct parapet walls before main works commencement.
“Pushing forward the new railway projects as scheduled and maintaining safe and reliable train operations at the same time is the primary objective of the Capital Works Team. The team is leveraging our extensive experience and striving for excellence to maintain our robust and comprehensive project management on projects delivery,” said Devlin.
Progress is making a conservative pace because much of the work has to be undertaken on operating railway lines, meaning the “Golden Two Hours” of non-operating time is key for construction and extension teams.
The new and upgraded rail network is part of Hong Kong and the MTR Corporation’s “Go Beyond Boundaries” plan, which is expected to provide at least 20,000 jobs.
