The Tuen Mun South Extension is a “community railway” that will extend the Tuen Ma Line southward by approximately 2.4km from Tuen Mun Station via a viaduct. It will serve Tuen Mun residents to enjoy added convenience with the direct railway connectivity to the Tuen Mun South community. Two new stations will be constructed, including an intermediate station at Area 16 and a new terminal station at Tuen Mun South near the Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal. The extension will enhance connectivity south of the Tuen Mun town centre and create a better living environment for the community.
The alignment running along the east bank of the Tuen Mun River, it involves unique engineering challenges, particularly in constructing the viaduct over the river. Innovative construction methods and specialized plant equipment have been deployed to address these site constraints effectively.
During the site visit, participants will gain valuable insights into the large-scale site formation and civil engineering works along the Tuen Mun River. Key activities include the installation of temporary working platforms, construction of viaducts and station structures, site formation, and various piling operations. The visit will also cover the challenges of construction over the river and the corresponding engineering solutions. Additionally, participants will explore complex interface issues involving the nearby railway operation, existing footbridges, and road traffic management.
This technical visit is targeting the young members in civil engineering field of all levels, including those at various grades.
