Rectangular Shield Tunnel Breakthrough Ceremony

At the ceremony, Mr. Fong Shue-shing commented on the high efficiency, safety management standards, cost-effectiveness, and shield machine design of the Yuen Long South project's rectangular shield tunnel breakthrough, and expressed recognition for the project construction team.

This tunnel breakthrough project involved undercrossing the heavily trafficked Yuen Long Highway, featuring shallow overburden, dense underground utilities, poor geological conditions, and a narrow working space. The project team adopted an innovative modular design for the rectangular shield machine, solving technical challenges related to transportation, lifting, and reception. The project simultaneously employed multiple monitoring technologies, including an automatic remote road settlement control system, ground-penetrating radar, and distributed acoustic fiber optic sensing technology. The tunnel breakthrough project was completed within one month.
