Working Groups

Reclaimed land represents approx. 25% of its developed land and supports many of the city’s landmarks, including Hong Kong Island’s iconic skyline. Much of the territory’s infrastructure were only achievable through land reclamation, including New towns of Kwun Tong (built in the 1950s), Tsuen Wan (built in the 1960s), Sha Tin and Tai Po (both built in the 1970s), Tseung Kwan O and Ma on Shan (both built in the 1980s), Central and Wan Chai reclamation, and more recently the Hong Kong International Airport and the Third Runway System, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Boundary Cross Facilities Artificial Island, Tung Chung New Town Extension and the IWMF Shek Kwu Chau Artificial Island

The Reclamation Working Group produces and maintains seminars and CPD courses, and provides advisory of reclamation works design and construction. Our goal is to promote requirements to satisfy the needs and values of consultants, contractors, academics and client bodies, and are environmentally sustainable towards its impact on the city’s natural and cultural heritage and contribution to biodiversity and habitat.
