Report Title : Catalogue of Hong Kong Tunnels

Author : Geotechnical Engineering Office

Abstract

This document contains a catalogue of existing tunnels and tunnels currently under construction in Hong Kong. It is based on a literature review of published information as well as information obtained from various government departments, the MTR Corporation, the former Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation, etc.

The main purpose of the catalogue is to disseminate available information on tunnels/caverns. A few significant cable duct and gas pipe crossings constructed using tunnelling methods such as horizontal directional drilling and pipe jacking have also been included. It is hoped that this catalogue and, in particular, the associated references, will prove to be a useful source of information for civil and geotechnical engineers when planning, investigating, designing and constructing new tunnel projects.
