Sweett Group Hong Kong Infrastructure Team secures 4th Cross Harbour Rail Tunnel
Sweett Group, the international construction and property consultancy, has secured a commission to provide cost management services for a 2km submerged cross harbour rail tunnel in Hong Kong.
As part of a team led by engineering firm AECOM, Sweett Group will provide cost management services for the 4th Cross Harbour Rail Tunnel, part of the Shatin to Central Link (SCL) railway, including cost planning, Bills of Quantities and tender cost estimates. The project works include temporary reclamation, immersed tube tunnel under theVictoriaHarbour, cut-and-cover tunnel, ventilation building, marine piling and the reprovisioning of a finger pier. The tunnel construction is scheduled for completion by 2020.
Funded by the Hong Kong Government and delivered by the MTR Corporation, Hong Kong's rail infrastructure developer and operator, the 4th Cross Harbour Rail Tunnel will run from Causeway Bay, on Hong Kong Island, under the harbour to Hung Hom station, in Kowloon. On completion, the tunnel will also act as a direct link for passengers arriving in Hong Kong at Lo Wu Border from Shenzhen China, travelling to Admiralty at Hong Kong Island with change-free connections.
Kim Berry, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, said:
"We are delighted to have been appointed under the Consultancy Agreement on the 4th Cross Harbour Rail Tunnel. We have recently been particularly active in the Hong Kong rail sector, with current commissions on all four of MTR's main line extensions, an investment programme that will increase the network's length from just under 220km to over 270km during the next decade."
