Suction Caisson Test
In May 2008, CLP led on the loading testing of a suction caisson at the proposed project
location.
The test was carried out under the supervision of various HKSAR government
departments, including the Buildings Department (structural aspects) and EPD
(environmental aspects).The test involved the installation of a full scale suction caisson
foundation. The foundation was left for 45 days and then removed. During the
installation water quality sampling and video monitoring was carried out in order to verify
the water quality modeling assumptions used in the EIA.
Building Department was also present to witness the tension test and verify the
engineering design parameters - all of which met or exceeded design requirements.
