Site Preparation for the New Hong Kong International Airport

pages

The 1,248 hectare site on which the new airport has been built was created in just two and a half years, following a unique combination of dredging, mining and seawall operations. Behind these deceptively simple elements lay more complex issues and this book describes the key stages of design, construction and performance of the airport platform. Edited and written by the engineers intimately involved in the project, this book is not merely a record of the works. It presents both theory and practice in site reclamation and provides valuable lessons in site investigation, geotechnical instrumentation, surveying and settlement prediction and analysis.
