The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Section project has won a leading industry award for transformative effect on the built environment, at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) People’s Choice Award 2019, on 12 November 2019.
Comprising the HZMB Hong Kong Link Road (HKLR) and Hong Kong Port (HKP), the HZMB serves as the longest bridge-cum-tunnel sea crossing in the world, bringing the Western Pearl River Delta region within three hours’ drive of Hong Kong.
“The uniqueness of this infrastructure lies in its engineering achievements and bringing the three cities, Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, much closer, thus enhancing the prosperity and economic development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,” the Project Manager of the Major Works Project Management Office (Special Duties) of the Highways Department, Chris Wong, said.
As the unprecedented cross-boundary transport infrastructure connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, this major infrastructure was awarded for its achievement in project management and contribution to the enhancement of regional transportation networks.
The construction of the Passenger Clearance Building (PCB) of the HZMB HKP is another highlight of the project. The project team adopted large-scale prefabricated modules for the erection of the roof for the PCB to achieve faster construction progress, enhance the quality of work and reduce the amount of working at height,” he added. ― Construction+ Online
