The area is equal to 16 Mobil New Village or 9 Tai Koo Shing Societies
Hong Kong Business Daily – Reporter Feng Weiqiang reports that building land acquisition is an important task for the current government. The “107 New Power” and the “Hong Kong-based Innovation and Research Center for Construction and Infrastructure Innovation” proposed by the non-governmental organization “New” yesterday – at the Kwai Chung Container Terminal Cover built housing. Zhou Mingquan, former president of the Institute of Engineers who proposed the proposal, believes that the project is feasible in terms of engineering and will be equivalent to 16 Mobil New Towns or 9 Tai Koo Shing as built-up. Mak Chi-kuang, Honorary Professor of Civil Engineering at Hong Kong University, agreed with the suggestion that the Kwai Chung Container Terminal should be located in the center of the city.
Last year, the Task Force on Land Supply started collecting private suggestions on building land acquisition. As a result, the United Hong Kong Fund proposed to relocate the Kwai Chung Container Terminal to the outlying islands and clear the original site before it can be used for building houses. “107 Power” held a sharing session with the Hong Kong University’s Research Center for Construction and Infrastructure Innovation, and Zhou Mingquan proposed a more completely new proposal. He believes that there is no need to relocate the container terminals and the platform building can be added directly to the container terminals.
Subway bus stop is also dual-use
Chou Ming-chuen pointed out that the concept of “one land, one land and two ends of the world” is not new in Hong Kong. Hong Kong also used to be “one land, one land and two ends” in the past. Since the 1970s, it has been building superstructures in metro and bus stops and asked why it does not work at the container terminals. He said the Kwai Chung Container Terminal covers an area of about 283 hectares. About 200 hectares of the container terminal is estimated to be able to build a platform for the construction of residential buildings. It is expected that the scale of development will be equivalent to 16 Mei Foo Sun Chuen or 9 Tai Koo Shing, accommodating a population of several hundred thousand.
He also pointed out that it is more time-saving to build a house directly on the pier than to build a house or reclaim a container terminal. As in common development projects, the construction of a superstructure requires the construction of a platform and a foundation. Therefore, it is estimated that the cost of the project will be less than that of a general site Similar to the land ownership issues involved than the recovery of farmland, brownfields simple.
Stacking the cargo area to build a platform from the house without impeding operation
In specific operation, Professor Ng Hok-keung, a visiting professor at the Hong Kong University’s Department of Civil Engineering, said that it is proposed to build a large platform on the “heap cargo area” of the container terminal on the floor of the “heap area” of about 50 to 60 meters in height. The construction of the platform, the platform to replace the existing overhead gantry cargo rail transport containers, it will not affect the operation of the pier, and because only the “heap cargo area” of the building before the cover, I believe the platform is completed, the noise isolation from the underlying .
Offshore components to speed up the construction speed
Mr Mak also attended the meeting and agreed with the proposal that the development mode of superstructure has been in use for many years, including the Royal Ascot Park covered by the MTR Fo Tan depot in Fotan and the Telford Garden under the cover of Kowloon Bay Station. The relevant building Technology is very mature.
Maizi pointed out that the Kwai Chung Container Terminal is located in the city center and covers a large area. Some prefabricated components required for housing construction can also be transported directly from the sea to the piers to speed up the construction of houses. In his opinion, if the community desperately needs land, the program can supply more land in a relatively short period of time and believes that the proposal deserves to be studied.
