Construction case of a 17-km-long new railway line between Shatin and Central Li

The Sha Tin to Central Link is a 17-kilometre new railway line that runs through various districts in Hong Kong. After the completion of the Shatin-Central Link, the traffic time between East Kowloon, the east, west and north of the New Territories and the north of Hong Kong Island will be greatly shortened. The project consists of two parts: the east-west corridor and the north-south corridor.

As the SCL passes through existing areas along its entire planned route, a major portion of the line will be underground. Several tunnels have been built on the east-west corridor of this section to connect Hing Keng Station and Diamond Hill Station. Diamond Hill will become a major transportation hub in East Kowloon in the future. Section 1103 has a total length of 3,877 meters, and a 7.4-meter-diameter tunnel boring machine is used to advance two parallel tunnel tubes in this area along the 1,695-meter-long section. The second 2,182 meter long section of the section was constructed using the drill and blast method.

As a responsible engineering firm, we provide services including engineering, design and project management to general contractors. Ground support products were provided for the tunneling of Section 1103. In fact, it is a major challenge to provide a record of certification and quality assurance for every product in Hong Kong. Products that have established themselves in the international market many years ago undergo comprehensive quality testing at accredited universities before they can be licensed for use in Hong Kong. In addition to anchors used as self-drilling ground control solutions, fiberglass anchors and self-drilling pipe joint anchors are also used for rock stabilization.Lattice beams were used as a passive support system for the excavation cross-sections. As a pre-support measure used in weak ground conditions, Jiufu Industry and Mining also provides a joint-connected system. Increases the stability of the work area by transmitting loads longitudinally and reducing deformations caused by excavation. Experienced Jiufu employees are on-site to supervise the installation of products and systems to ensure smooth and efficient workflow.
