Central Reclamation III, Hong Kong Client: Atkins China Ltd., for Territory Development
Department
Jacobs were
appointed as the civil and marine subconsultant responsible
for the detailed design of marine works associated with the 32 ha site of Central
Reclamation Phase III. Marine Traffic Impact Assessment was carried out, including the
impact of the staged construction on existing ferry and private craft operations within
and adjacent to the reclamation area, the effect of reclamation on existing and future
traffic in the Victoria Harbour. Extensive ship simulations of
the Star Ferry vessels were undertaken. Detailed design included the reclamation phasing
considering methods to minimizing settlement and dredging, repositioning of the two Star
Ferry piers including the proposed development above the piers, two new public landing
step piers and seawalls incorporating unique low wave reflection characterisitics.
