HKA G&S: site visit to Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works Extension

Overview

Siu Ho Wan Treatment Works Extension is a project that aims at meeting the increasing water demands of developments in North Lantau New Town, North-East Lantau area, and Discovery Bay. The project involves extending the treatment works' capacity from 150,000 m^3/day to 300,000 m^3/day, with a potential further uprating to 350,000 m^3/day. 

Additionally, it includes enhancements to the raw water transmission system, such as the construction of a raw water booster pumping station, the uprating of pumping stations, and the duplication of water mains. These improvements are crucial for ensuring adequate water supply to the growing urban areas in the region. 

During the site visit, participants will explore the construction of water treatment facilities, understanding the challenges and solutions involved in building new facilities and modifying existing ones within the water treatment works compound. Participants will also look into strategies to improve the project's efficiency, safety, and quality, with a focus on implementing Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MiMEP) solutions and adopting Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) principles.
