Webinar on Rotational Bridge Launching Method at “The Yoho Hub”
 


Date, time & venue

2022-01-26;1900 - 2030;Webinar

Programme Highlights

Yuen Long Station Property Development YLTL No.510 involved a series of residential developments. Sanfield and MTR, the co-developers, attempted to extend the transportation network by linking up the old town to the newly developed area in Yuen Long. A passenger bridge and a vehicular bridge were designed to connect “Yoho Hub” to the existing Yuen Long MTR station.

 

To alleviate potential disruptions to daily operation of Light Rail, West Rail and public transport adjacent to the site, “Rotational Bridge Launching Method” was adopted. The biggest challenge was to complete a rapid and safe erection in an extremely congested construction site and not once, but twice for the two permanent bridges respectively. In which, rotation and lowering of the 2 bridges were carefully operating on top of high voltage (750V DC) overhead cables, without inducing any impact on the operation of light rails, transit trails and access to Yuen Long MTR station.
