Shatin to Central Link - SDC400 Hung Hom MTC
Atkins was lead consultant for the preliminary and detailed design of the largest and most complex station on the new line. The Mass Transport Centre (MTC) at Hung Hom will facilitate interchange between two future lines and one existing line. The interchange station must be capable of catering for approximately 100,000 passenger movements per hour and more than one million passengers per day. The new station and associated approach tunnels (estimated value HK$2.5B) must be constructed beneath an existing railway concourse and concert hall, without disruption to the public or to existing rail services. Advance passenger modelling simulations were carried out to optimize the layout and ensure that the proposed configuration will provide a safe and efficient arrangement.

Tseung Kwan O Extension Contract 602
Lead consultant for the planning, detailed design, tender preparation and evaluation and construction management of two new stations on MTRCL's Tseung Kwan O Line at Tseung Kwan O and at Tiu Keng Leng. The designs for the stations were developed along with two lengths of cut and cover tunnels in the town centre, through scheme design and detailed design.

Tiu Keng Leng station provides for an interchange with the Kwun Tong Line.

Hong Kong Central Subway, Lantau Airport Railway
Atkins carried out the detailed design for this project which involved the construction of 265m of pedestrian cut-and-cover tunnels in central Hong Kong . Part of the tunnel was constructed by cut and cover methods under Pedder Street and Connaught Road Central. Twin tunnels were also excavated under Exchange Square . A major breakthrough was required into Central Station and modifications made to plant rooms, station concourse area and an existing entrance. A new street level entrance was provided in Douglas Street.
