The set of tunnels will house automated people mover and baggage handling systems serving the third runway concourse for the airport’s expansion into a three-runway system.
The project consists of multiple-cell cut-and-cover tunnels, which will connect Terminal 2 and an automated people mover depot at one end with the proposed third runway concourse at the other. Most of the tunnels will be constructed on newly reclaimed land.
Robin Wong, Mott MacDonald’s project manager, said: “This is a very exciting and challenging project for Mott MacDonald. Our combination of tunnel experience and extensive track record at HKIA has given the AAHK confidence that we will be able to deliver this challenging scheme to the highest standard.”
Mott MacDonald also completed the environmental impact assessment for the planned expansion of HKIA and is also part of the team undertaking the detailed design for the 650ha land reclamation. The consultancy was also recently appointed to carry out the environmental monitoring and audit for the expansion of the HKIA over the next decade.
