Central Reclamation Phase III - Planning, Design and Construction Supervision
This high profile project at the Central waterfront will greatly improve transport infrastructure and provide a world class waterfront. Atkins has taken the project from the planning and feasibility stages through to detailed design and contract document preparation. Our multidisciplinary team has provided the designs for all aspects of the project; from the innovative wave absorbing seawalls and historic piers, to the Central Wan Chai Bypass tunnel and a new heliport.

Dubai Light Rail - Red / Green Line Viaducts
Atkins is the lead designer responsible for all civil works associated with the Red and Green Lines of the Dubai Metro. Atkins role is the full multi disciplinary design and management of the civil works including viaducts and bridges (utilising post-tensioned, segmental construction), geotechnical and site investigations, bored tunnels, cut and cover tunnels, route alignment, elevated, at-grade and underground stations, depots and additional specialist services such as fire and ventilation, environmental impact, concrete durability and landscaping.

The elevated structures include 59.9km of segmental elevated viaduct and associated structures. Detailed design was carried out for all aspects of the viaduct design and erection including:

Improvements to San Tin Interchange
The design was undertaken by Atkins as part of the Contractor's designed section of works, effectively under a design and build arrangement. The improvements to San Tin Interchange will relieve congestion on Fanling Highway and allow for increased traffic flows at the Lok Ma Chau border crossing. The design scope included the deck designs, abutments, approach ramps, retaining walls and foundation designs. The viaducts are composed of 413m of single box and 169m of twin box, precast segmental viaduct, erected using the balanced cantilever method of construction. In addition, 349m of insitu post-tensioned viaducts were constructed by the span by span method. The total length of viaduct is 931m. Temporary traffic management services were also provided on this very busy area near the border crossing.

Hong Kong Airport - North Satellite Concourse

The North Satellite Concourse (NSC) Building & Apron Works Contract involves the re-configuration of six existing remote aircraft parking stands (Stand Nos. N146 to N151) in the existing North Passenger Apron of the Hong Kong International Airport into a two storey satellite concourse building with 10 Code C frontal aircraft parking stands.

To meet client requirements the works need to be implemented in phases in order to minimise disturbance to the operation of the North Passenger Apron during construction. A limited number of new Code C stands in the first phase will be put into operation as remote stands during the construction period of the later phases.

The Contract also involves the upgrading of eleven existing temporary aircraft parking stands (Stand Nos. T1 to T11 to the west of the Air Traffic Control Tower) as tow-off stands for parking of inactive or long stay aircraft, complete with new high mast lighting and an additional Taxilane connection with Taxiway B.
