Overview
The Tuen Mun-Chap Lap Kok (TMCLK) project was the winner of the Major Project of the Year in the over €500M category of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA) in 2019. The completed project provides an alternative access route to the Hong Kong International Airport located on Chek Lap Kok Island, which was only been accessible via the Tsing Ma Bridge. The project encompasses the design and construction of remarkable 4.5km twin-tube subsea tunnels, 57 cross passages, and a 500m cut and cover section. The TMCLK project was opened for public use in December 2020.
The project’s challenges included cutting tools replacement at hyperbaric pressure up to 5.8 bar, shafts and tunnelling in newly reclaimed land, 17.6m diameter TBM tunnelling, a bespoke mini TBM for 41 subsea cross passages and more. The valuable experiences gained during this project have significantly contributed to innovations in the tunnel tunnelling industry, paving the way for future projects. Bouygues Travaux Publics and Dragages HK Limited, both subsidiaries of Bouygues Construction, collaborated as a joint venture to design and execute the project over 7 years.
This very informative talk will discuss the significant work undertaken on this major project. It will outline the technical challenges encountered, the solutions implemented, and the lessons learned that can be applied to future projects.
The lecture will be followed by food and drinks in Kendal's Café sponsored by Bouygues-Murphy Joint Venture.
