Tsueng Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel BMCPC Footbridge
Project data
Location: Hong Kong, Hong Kong
The Tseung Kwan O – Lam Tin Tunnel (TKOLTT) is approximately 4.2 km long, connecting Tseung Kwan O and East Kowloon. The Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemetries (BMCPC) part of the project was the deviation of the existing footbridge for crossing the new highway.
The challenge to overcome in the construction of the bridge is that at the same time the haul road for tunnel access should be kept under use. The additional constraint was that all of the construction activity was taking part on the side of a cliff!
Requirements
- Using large spans with a minimal interference on the ground to allow access below
Customer
Leighton-China State Joint Venture
PERI solution
- The new PERI ALPHAKIT system with spans of 15m is the ideal system to use in to achieve large spans, low self-weight of the system that complies with the reduced existing lifting capacity, and the extremely high relation price/efficiency of the system.
