The hard work and efforts of the Project team over the
past 3 years have brought
the SCL Kowloon City Section to a new stage. TBM “Princess Wencheng”, which started boring the down-track tunnel from To Kwa Wan Station to Ho Man Tin Station in April, has reached Ma Tau Wai Station. The other TBM “Princess Iron Fan” started excavation works for the up-track tunnel in September.
Following the completion of the roof slab construction of Ma Tau Wai Station, station excavation and construction of the concourse have commenced. Meanwhile, the construction of station entrances at Kiang Su Street and Lok Shan Road will kick off soon, representing another stride forward for the SCL works in the district.
The SCL project has been fully supported by the community since the commencement of works in 2012. Despite of the challenges and difficulties ahead, we will deliver the project with our greatest effort.
TBM “Princess Iron Fan”, which is responsible for the construction of the up-track tunnel from To Kwa Wan Station to Ho Man Tin Station, started boring in mid-September and reached Sung Wong Toi Park in mid-October.
The precast segmental tunnel wall is installed continuously as the TBM bores.
Down-track tunnel excavation from To Kwa Wan Station to Ho Man Tin Station by TBM “Princess Wencheng” has reached Ma Tau Wai Station.
