Programme Highlight

The San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works (SSWSTW) project involves constructing a secondary sewage treatment works (STW) at San Shek Wan in South Lantau Island, a sewage pumping station (SPS) at Pui O, 1.4km-long twin submarine outfalls with an outer diameter of 350mm for disposal of treated effluent from the SSWSTW and building about 5.3 km of village sewerage system and ancillary works along South Lantau Road, Chi Ma Wan Road and at Pui O Lo Uk.

 

The outfall is constructed using the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) method to minimize dredging and other construction activities in water.  It is located at approximate 60m below the seabed and constructed by 2-way forward drilling operations at both land and sea sides.
