    Quieter Construction Methods

Some advanced quieter construction methods have been established. Performance and practicability of the equipment has been studied and approved on different construction sites in Hong Kong.

 

Tunneling and Pipe Installation

Steel-reinforced polyethylene strips

The Spiral Wound Rehabilitation Technology (SPRTMPE) is considered to be one of the quieter construction methods, compared to the traditional "open, cut and replace" method.

Ultra-violet (UV) light train

Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Lining with Enhanced Curing Technology is considered to be one of the quieter construction methods, compared to the conventional "open, cut and replace" method.

Liner is pulled into the host pipe

Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining is considered to be one of the quieter construction methods, compared to the traditional "open, cut and replace" method.

 

 

Tunnel Boring Machine

Unlike cut and cover method,  construction work of using tunnel boring machine takes place mainly underground, which signaficantly reduce noise, dust and disruption to nearby NSRs.
