Stonecutters Bridge, Hong Kong |
|
|
|
Fulfilling many a bridge engineer's ambition Maunsell AECOM has seized yet another bridge project associated with one of the longest bridges in the world. |
|
|
|
Maunsell AECOM has been appointed by the Maeda-Hitachi-Yokogawa-Hsin Chong Joint Venture (JV) as its consultant for the construction phase of the 1018m main span Stonecutters Bridge, having successfully assisted the JV in the tender preparation and secured the US$354 million contract for the construction of the 1.6km-long cable-stayed bridge, against fierce competition from four international contracting groups that are some of the very best in this industry. |

|
|
The Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong is a high level cable-stayed bridge, with two towers located in the back-up areas of Container Terminals 8 and 9, with a main span of 1018metres across the Rambler Channel and of a total length, including the back spans of some 1.6km. |
|
|
|
Our involvement dates back to the tender preparation stage, it assisted the JV in producing some of the most robust and impressive winning proposals by any standard. Its appointment as the JV's consultant for the construction phase is well deserved. |
|
|
|
Maunsell AECOM has contributed to long-span sea crssings worldwide and has worked on all of the long-span cable-stayed bridges in Hong Kong. In particular our team served the Kumagai-Maeda-Yokogawa-Hitachi JV in bringing about the timely completion of Kap Shui Mun Bridge and Ma Wan Viaduct, an extraordinary chapter in the history of contemporary bridge engineering because of the technical complexity of the project. Many of the individuals who saw active service on Kap Shui Mun Bridge will continue to work on the Stonecutters Bridge project. |
|
|
|
The construction phase of Stonecutters Bridge has already commenced and MCAL provides support to the JV notably in design, construction engineering, bridge aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing, falsework and cofferdam design, marine traffic management, marine jetty design, temporary traffic management, geotechnical engineering, amongst many other strands of work. |
