MTR XRL C823B Shek Kong Stabling Sidings and Emergency Rescue Sidings
Prescription of alternate design and construction sequence for D-wall panels located in the immediate vicinity
below a 1400mm diameter water main that traverses the cut and cover tunnel. Alternative solutions included
preloading temporary struts and the provision of additional mass concrete infill (MCI) during the backfilling process.
Key issues included reducing any on-going ground settlement behind the D-wall that would consequently affect the
1400mm dia. water main and review evaluation of the structural integrity of the pipeline.

Scenic Hill Jacked Box Tunnel

Responsible for assessment of the geological and geotechnical conditions of the project area and detailed design
of the temporary works to facilitate the box jacking works under the operational Airport Express Line Railway. Key
issues included the stability of the temporary works in the presence of soft soil deposits.

Macau LRT Phase I Redesign of Stations 9,11,12 Viaduct & Tunnels (C230R)
Provided geotechnical support to carry out review of geotechnical desk studies and local geotechnical information
to determine the geological and geotechnical conditions and their impact on the ELS design. Carried out detailed
design of diaphragm walls and lateral support system at Portion Stations 9, 11 and 12 based on envisaged
construction sequence, ground conditions, site geometry, and the permanent works geometry.

Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Training Centre, Guangzhou

Carried out a detailed engineering check for the surface drainage design (U-Channels and Step Channels) for
