Container Terminal 9, Kwai Chung
Project Introduction
Scott Wilson provided preliminary design, site investigations,
tender documents, detailed designs and preparation of development
plans for the design of reclamation, quay wall dredging,
marine/rock fill of access roads and infrastructure for the
construction of the new terminal.
Project Background
The Terminal is the largest container terminal in Hong Kong.
With its capacity in excess of 2.6 million TEUs, it provides
additional capacity to help maintain Hong Kong as the world's
busiest container port.
In Dec 1998 the HKSAR Government granted the development rights
for CT9 to a consortium of three joint developers comprising Modern
Terminals Ltd, Hong Kong International Terminals Ltd and Asia
Container Terminals Ltd.
Project Scope
The scope of works in the main contract comprised all dredging
and filling for the terminal and back up areas, together with all
edge structures, culverts, paving, roads and drainage. The works
extended south and east of CT9 to include a marine basin for the
reprovisioning of a berth for a Chemical Waste Treatment Facility,
a breakwater for waves of 4.2m significant height, and dredging of
the adjacent Rambler Channel including realignment of the approach
fairway. Within the terminal area the scope included quay wall,
quay crane foundations, RTG runways and container stacking
foundations, reefer racks, lighting towers, paving, services,
electrical sub stations and toilet blocks.
Value Adding Project Achievements
Scott Wilson has been responsible for the detailed design,
preparation of contract documentation, cost estimates, contract
administration and supervision. The previous study stage
included:
- Evaluation of alternative sites
- Review of construction, phasing, programming and costing
- Assessment of various alternative shapes of reclamations for
each terminal option
- Numerical model studies to investigate tidal and vessel
movements
