CLP Environmental Review for Castle Peak Cable Tunnel, Hong Kong
Atkins was responsible for the preparation of an Environmental Assessment for CLP's “Castle Peak Cable Tunnel” Project. The cable tunnel will be bored through the mountainous area of Castle Peak by use of tunnel boring machine (TBM) to minimize environmental impacts associated with the power cables, and to increase the reliability of the system. The tunnel will be approximately 4.5km long with a 4.5m internal diameter to contain eight 132kV cable circuits. The Environmental Assessment provides evaluation of the potential environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Project, including noise, landscape and visual resources, ecology, dust, waste management, and water quality issues. Mitigation measures and the requirements on environmental monitoring and audit have been recommended.

Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Ningbo Huadong LPG Bulk Terminal Facility, China
Atkins was appointed to undertake the ESIA on behalf of British Petroleum (BP) for the construction and operation of two 250,000m 3 underground rock caverns for the storage of propane and butane, a 5,000 ton wharf and a 50,000 ton wharf to be used for incoming vessels. The ESIA assessed environmental implications of the construction and operation of the project and was undertaken in accordance with BP Amoco's corporate policy. A social impact assessment was also conducted to determine the likely impacts that the project may have over the socio-economic situation of the project area. Public consultation was undertaken with the relevant government authorities and local villages at the early stages of the project to identify impacts and concerns.
