Project data

Location: Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Tuen Mun – Chek Lap Kok link (TM-CLKL) serves to provide a direct route between the Northwest New Territories and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the Airport and North Lantau and also an alternative land access to the Airport.

The project TMCLKL-S involves the design and construction of a dual two-lane elevated carriageway between the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) and North Lantau Highway (NLH) with associated slip roads.

The project is scheduled to complete within Q1 2019.

Requirements

VST is a very flexible system, strong and easy to assemble. It is very suitable for end span falsework in bridge construction.

PERI solution

PERI provided VST towers with heights up to 20m and maximum leg load of 1000 KN to support the segment construction. What's more, PERI performed preassembly work at the stockyard to follow a just-in-time delivery schedule and an on-site supervisor was arranged. Overnight supervision service was offered to ensure a smooth placing of bridge segments.
