Highlights

Join an exclusive technical visit to the Six Pacific Place (6PP) subway construction site at Queen's Road East, and explore the engineering challenges and innovations behind a major underground pedestrian link project in a dense urban setting. Key highlights of the visit include:

1. Underground Subway Construction: Examine the construction of a 77-metre pedestrian subway linking Six Pacific Place and Three Pacific Place beneath a busy commercial district, gaining insights into tunnelling within an active urban environment.

2. Deep Excavation & Geotechnical Engineering: Understand the deep excavation down to -12.6 mPD, covering tunnelling through soft ground, mixed ground, and rock cover, alongside the associated geotechnical challenges.

3. Site Constraints & Risk Management: Learn about demanding site constraints—such as limited working space, stringent noise and traffic management requirements, complex stakeholder coordination, and robust geotechnical risk control measures.

4. Digital & Safety Innovations: Observe industry-leading digital tools and safety technologies, including Gambot 2.0, 3D laser scanning, remote-controlled drilling systems, and digital Permit-to-Work workflows, showcasing modern construction practices.
