Expressions of Interest are invited from suitable qualified Applicants for the services described below.

 

The MTR Corporation Limited (the Corporation) is committed to serving the transport needs of the community of Hong Kong by the provision of world class railway facilities.

 

The Tung Chung Line Extension (TUE) at Lantau North is a railway scheme to improve railway accessibility to the Tung Chung East & West areas, with two new stations which shall offer direct railway access to the Tung Chung New Town Extension (TCNTE) in support of its long-term, sustainable growth in population and employment opportunities. The at-grade TCE Station will be located approximately 2km east of the existing Tung Chung Station (TUC) at the south of the future Tung Chung New Town Extension (East) new reclamation area. The station is bounded by the future roads in the reclamation area and the existing TCL and Airport Express Line (AEL).  The underground TCW Station and aboveground station facilities will be located at the existing rural area – west of Yat Tung Estate. The area is an open space and currently occupied by orchard and some temporary structures.  The Emergency Access Point (EAP) / Emergency Egress Point (EEP) building will be located at an artificial slope near Shun Tung Road.

 

Airport Railway Extended Overrun Tunnel (ARO) is an underground tunnel of around 460m long to be built beneath Lung Wo Road at the East of Hong Kong Station, which TCL and AEL trains will be able to turn around more quickly from Hong Kong bound to Tung Chung and Airport-bound, thereby enhancing train capacity and operational efficiency of both lines to cope with the transport demand in the future.

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified Consultants who have the necessary experience, capability and resources to provide service of the Independent Monitoring Consultancy (IMC) for the Project.

 

It is envisaged that the scope of the Consultancy Agreement NEX/1110 will include the carrying out of the independent / joint monitoring of geotechnical instruments and setting up and maintenance of a website for collecting, managing and presenting all the data of monitoring for the construction contracts of  TUE and ARO.

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified geotechnical monitoring consultants that have previous experience in the geotechnical monitoring consultancy services in Hong Kong.

 

In keeping with the Corporation’s partnering approach, preference will be given to consultants who can clearly demonstrate and encourage shared commitment.
