Shek Wuxu water purification facility project won an international award in 2034, completed in 2034, reclaimed water supply to the northeastern New Territories

Since 2009, the Development Bureau has implemented the "New Project Contract" model for public works projects to improve contract management efficiency. So far, more than 300 projects have been approved under this, with a total contract value of more than 160 billion yuan.

Among them, the Shihuxu water purification facility project is to rebuild the sewage treatment plant on the original site. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed around 2024, and the entire project will be completed in 2034.

After the expansion of the sewage treatment plant, it will become the largest tertiary sewage treatment facility in Hong Kong. The project, together with the Development Bureau and various public works departments, has also won multiple awards in this year's "New Engineering Contract" international awards.

The Secretary for Development, Wong Wai-lun, wrote in his blog today that since 2009, the authorities have piloted "new engineering contracts" for public works projects, and so far, more than 300 public works projects have been approved.

The Secretary for Development, Wong Wai-lun, wrote in his blog today (1st) that the authorities have been piloting the "new construction contract" model for public works projects since 2009. He quoted the Bureau’s Chief Assistant Secretary (Works) Ho Ying Kit as saying that compared with traditional works Contracts, the "new engineering contract" model actively promotes a culture of contract collaboration. Through the contract mechanism, both parties can jointly manage and share risks. For example, the introduction of early notification mechanism, early discussion and coordination to reduce risks, etc., help the engineering team to effectively solve the project. Challenges to improve project management effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.

The Shek Wu Hui water purification facility project now includes four independent civil and electrical and mechanical contracts, all of which adopt the "new engineering contract" model.

Zhong Zhenghang, a senior engineer (sewage engineering) of the Drainage Services Department, who is in charge of the project, said that the project is full of challenges, such as construction of a sewage treatment plant in operation, dense underground pipelines, and sudden outbreaks of materials and workers. Productivity brings instability.

By adopting the "new project contract", through the cooperation mode and mechanism, the problems can be solved one by one, avoiding disputes that affect the progress of the project.

The Shihuxu water purification facility project will rebuild the sewage treatment plant on the original site from 2019. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed around 2024.

Free up two hectares of public space, the largest tertiary sewage treatment facility in Hong Kong

Huang Weilun said that the first phase of the project is expected to be completed around 2024, and the entire project will be completed in 2034.

The expanded Shek Wuxu water purification facility covers an area of ​​approximately 11.9 hectares and will become the largest tertiary sewage treatment facility in Hong Kong. The purified water after treatment will also be processed into "reclaimed water" for flushing in the northeastern New Territories. Toilets and other non-drinking uses.

In addition, many greening elements will be added to the water purification facilities, and about two hectares of public space will be released, including bird watching gardens, plantations, ecological gardens, riverside walks, etc., which will be opened to the public in stages, and most of the sewage will be used in the future. The treatment facilities are all sealed and equipped with deodorizing devices.

The main part of the first phase of the project won the "Water Conservancy Project of the Year" award in this year's UK "New Engineering Contract" international award.
