Maunsell gets HK water supply jobs

Maunsell has been appointed consultant by the Water Supplies Department of the Hong Kong government for the extension of water supply to the existing Ma On Shan and the Shau Kei Wan High Level Supply Systems.

The purpose of the scheme is to augment and extend the existing water supply systems in order to meet increased demands for both fresh and flushing water by new housing developments in these areas.

In Ma On Shan, the scope of the works will comprise the construction of some 12km of fresh and salt water mains, a 24,000m3 fresh service reservoir, a 1,400m3 salt water service reservoir and the associated monitoring and control facilities. In Shau Kei Wan some 4.7km of mains, an 8,500m3 fresh water service reservoir and a 500m3 salt water reservoir will be constructed. The works are all programmed to be commissioned by early 2002.

CDM is Maunsell's sub-consultant responsible for the E&M works and the works in Shau Kei Wan. Other team members include Maunsell Geotechnical Services, Enpac (for environmental work), Hassell (for landscaping) and the Maunsell in-house Traffic and Transportation Group.
