Synopsis

The Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor (proposed Boardwalk) connecting Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay is one of the 13 projects under the $6.5 billion dedicated funding for harbourfront enhancement. With the completion of the proposed Boardwalk, the harbourfront of the northern shore of Hong Kong Island stretching from Shek Tong Tsui in Western District to Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan will be fully connected, providing a continuous promenade of some 12 km long for public enjoyment. The proposed Boardwalk is approximately 2.2 kilometres (km) long and maintains a width of at least 10 metres (m) wide throughout. The western section (approximately 0.7 km long) runs from Oil Street to Tong Shui Road, whereas the eastern section (approximately 1.1 km long) runs from Tin Chiu Street to Hoi Yu Street. These two sections will be connected by the existing North Point Promenade (approximately 0.4 km long).

The Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor is being constructed by IEC Boardwalk Joint Venture, comprising Leighton Contractors Asia Limited and Sinohydro Corporation.  This technical seminar will focus on the challenges and solutions for construction of marine piled foundations below and adjacent to the existing highway viaduct.  These include construction of bored piles and pre-bored socket H-piles from barges and temporary platforms, as well as the use of reverse circulation method for pre-bored socket H-piles.  The presentation will also cover installation of DfMA Boardwalk deck modules on the completed foundations.
