Reclamation Works

Key Technical Challenges & Constraints

8

Existing Airport 3RS

Environment Related

Not subject to EIA

Reclamation on Contaminated Mud Pits; No dredging committed

Fill Source Locally available Need to secure marine sand from the Mainland

Land Formed Some superstructure built on rock platform

Construction on reclaimed land

Airport Operation

Built on green field site Works subject to airport height/operational restrictions

Integration of Facilities

No planning on site needed

Need for closure of North Runway

Soft marine clay outside CMPs

Implications -> Require Special Ground Improvement

Key Challenges & Constraints – Non-dredge Seawall Foundation

9

Seawall

10

West of Po Toi

Brothers Borrow Area East Sha Chau

Main Sources for Existing Airport Quantity

Original CLK Island, Lam Chau & Brothers Islands

~120 Mm3

Brothers Borrow Area ~30 Mm3

East Sha Chau ~15 Mm3

West of Po Toi ~15 Mm3

South of Tsing Yi ~10 Mm3

South of Tsing Yi

Key Challenges & Constraints - No Locally Available Fill Sources

Implication -> Require to search for fill sources outside HK

Key Challenges & Constraint - Construction on reclaimed land

11

Footprint of Reclamation

Existing Airport 3RS

Existing Airport 3RS

~983 ha Reclamation Area ~644 ha

~11 km Length of Seawall ~13 km

~190 Mm3 Total Volume of Fill Required ~130 Mm3

~70/0/120 Mm3 Sand Fill/Public Fill/Rock Fill ~110/10/10 Mm3

Existing Reclamation 983 Ha

Original CLK Island

258 Ha

Lam Chau 7 Ha

Key Challenges & Constraints – Airport Height Restriction

AHR due to Sha Chau Radar

Implications of radar removal -> Remove constraints on the size of marine construction plant over most of the reclamation area

Key Challenges & Constraints – Need for closure of North Runway

New Taxiways

New Airfield Tunnels

3rd Runway and Taxiways (2021)

Re-open of North Runway (2023)

Closure of North Runway (2021)

Design Goals

• What is the most sustainable, long-term approach to the providing an expanded Terminal 2, as part of a 3-runway system?

• How do we match the very high standard set by Terminal 1 to ensure HKIA provides a consistent Level of Service?

Scheme Design – T2 Expansion

Scheme Design – T2 Expansion

19

Evaluation of Differentiators

Scheme Design – T2 Expansion

Level of Service/ Pax Experience

Walking distance, level changes, wayfinding, special features

Operational Efficiency

Capacity, impact on existing operations, economy of resources, flexibility

Commercial Retail, advertising, commercial development (including NCD)

Environmental Energy efficiency, BEAM + rating, “green” perception

Quality/Image Architecture, spatial quality, quality of building systems

Key Planning Parameters being Studied

Scheme Design - 3rd Runway Infrastructure and Concourse

• Strategy for Automated People Mover

• Strategy for Baggage Handling System

• Concourse and Apron Layouts
