Black & Veatch Uses Innovative Application For Water Main Rehabilitation In Hong Kong

Black & Veatch has completed the rehabilitation of the first of five water mains that lie beneath the heavily trafficked Lion Rock Tunnel in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The company is using innovative trenchless technology for the Lion Rock water mains to reduce impacts to commuters.
"One of the major constraints on this project was getting access to the mains," said Alan Man, Black & Veatch Vice President and leader of the company's water business in Hong Kong SAR. "Access to the pipe gallery via the shafts within the tunnel is permitted for only 14 days a month and then only between 1:30 am and 6:00 am."
