North Island Link
Atkins was lead consultant in JV for the North Island Link preliminary design studies to connect Fortress Hill to Tamar Station. This included one new interchange station, and sections of bored and cut and cover tunnels. We provided management, tunnel, geotechnical, traffic, highways, drainage and safety and reliability inputs. This project involved working closely with MTRC staff as an integrated project team located in the Corporation's office. The station was to be integrated with a comprehensive property development area.

Kennedy Town Extension Feasibility Study (Now known as West Island Line)
This involved studies and preliminary engineering of a 4km, 4 nos. station underground extension of the MTR Island Line with potential linkage to Green Island Reclamation, North Lantau and South HK Island. In early 2001, Atkins was retained by the Corporation to update their previous studies and to assist MTRC in the preparation of their Proposal to Government for the West Island Line . The work in 2001 developed the option of three stations for the WIL, although a different alignment was followed. At that time, it was still desired to have a station close to Green Island Reclamation to serve the proposed property development on the reclamation. More recently we were a member of the Independent Review Team appointed by MTRCL to review the Preliminary Design to confirm the scheme, its constructability and capital costs.
