Programme Highlight

Demographic changes contribute to the soaring demand of infrastructure and real estates, which further deteriorates the lands shortage problems. In spite of the controversies of prodigal construction, reclamation is undeniably a resolution to the problem. Among the new towns developed, Tseung Kwan O is recognized as one of the most successful youngly populated areas with over 60+ years reclamation history, from shipbreaking harbor to steel fabrication to today’s TKO.  On the other hand, new town planning, including Area 137 and 132, are under progress to address the societal phenomenon. In accompany with emerging construction techniques, reclamation methods are ever-improving by virtue of the tight cooperation between engineers and frontliners. In this talk, Mr. CHENG will demonstrate the reclamation works in perspective of a frontline workmanship practice, which is expected to be inspirational to our young engineers.

人口膨脹令基礎設施和房地產建設的需求飆升，進一步加劇了土地短缺問題。儘管填海造地被誤認為燒錢，卻無疑是解決問題的良方。其中將軍澳就被認為最成功的人口稠密填海地區之一，從拆船港到鋼鐵廠，再到今天的將軍澳，以超過60年時間印證了填海的成就。另一方面，政府持續推出137區和132區等新城市規劃，以應付越加飽和的土地問題。伴隨著新興的施工技術，填海方法在工程師和前線人員的緊密合作下不斷改進。鄭先生將以前線人員的角度出發，向各位年輕工程師分享將軍澳60年的發跡史，並展示填海工程的偉大及挑戰。
