Cargo Apron Extension – Phase1
Atkins was responsible for the design of the Hong Kong International Airport Cargo Apron Extension – Phase 1 comprising eight additional cargo stands.

The scope of design work included 100,000 square metres of new apron pavement and associated apron markings, extensions to the existing combined drainage and oil separation system, the existing aviation fuel supply system, the existing apron floodlighting system, the existing fixed ground power system and the existing airfield ground lighting system. The apron pavement was designed for full aircraft loading, using the LEDFAA design program.

Enabling Works for HAECO Hanger Extension
Atkins China Ltd was responsible for the design and construction supervision of Enabling Works required to facilitate the extension of the existing HAECO Hanger at the Maintenance Apron of the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok.

Taxilane G Extension and Additional Aircraft Parking Stands
Atkins China Ltd was responsible for the design and construction supervision of the extension of an existing taxilane (Taxilane G) and the provision of additional aircraft parking stands at the Maintenance Apron of the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok.

Design works included the planning and geometrical design of the taxilane extension and connection to a re-aligned taxiway, the pavement design for the taxilane extension and for two code F and three code E aircraft parking stands, and the design of the following systems for the aircraft parking stands:

Low Fare Carrier Stands
Atkins China Ltd was responsible for the design and construction supervision of a new Low Fare Carrier Apron at the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok.

The new Low Fare Carrier Apron comprised of five code C remote stands. Design works included the apron planning and geometrical design, the apron pavement design and the design of the following systems for the apron:

Aviation Fuel Tank Farm Extension
Atkins was responsible for the construction management of the Aviation Fuel Tank Farm Extension

at the Hong Kong International Airport . The extension comprised of the three additional aviation fuel storage tanks each of capacity of 20,000m 3 and 1.3km of associated pipelines. As the construction works had to be undertaken in close proximity to an operational Aviation Fuel Facility, controlling safety and minimising impacts to the existing facility were essential. At one stage the fuel supply system at the Hong Kong International Airport had to be totally suspended (no fuel supply to airport at night-time) to facilitate the switchboard tie-in at the existing Aviation Fuel Tank Farm . As these works had to be carefully programmed and coordinated with the Aviation Fuel Tank Farm operator and the Airfield Operations staff, Atkins took a leading role in this work which was successfully completed without impact to the airport operations.

Temporary Stands Upgrading Works
Atkins was responsible for the design of upgrading works for 11 temporary remote parking stands at the Hong Kong International Airport to ensure full compliance with ICAO standards. The design works included the assessment of the residual life of the existing pavement, and the design of a new Taxilane connection, widening of the adjacent taxilane pavement, and floodlighting and lightning warning protection systems for the stands. The overall design was prepared in a manner such that the upgrading works could be subdivided into phases in order to maintain a maximum number of useable stands at any time. The design of the pavement upgrading was prepared in a manner such that it would tie in with planned future airfield development in the adjacent areas.

North Satellite Concourse Apron Works
Atkins, in a multi-disciplinary design team, was responsible for the apron works design for the North Satellite Concourse at the Hong Kong International Airport . The design of the North Satellite Concourse involved the transformation of six existing remote aircraft parking stands in the North Apron into a two storey satellite concourse building with 10 Code C frontal aircraft parking stands. The apron works design included pavement reconstruction and apron markings, and modifications to the drainage and oil separation system, the aviation fuel supply system, the fire fighting and portable water supply system and the apron floodlighting system. Decommissioning of the existing facilities and major cables diversion works at the existing apron were carried out in a separate Advance Works contract.

The overall design was prepared in a manner such that the construction works could be undertaken phases so as to minimise disturbance to the operation of the North Apron. The design enabled a small number of the new Code C stands in the first phase to be put into operation as remote stands during the construction of the later phases of the works.
