Adverse Impacts |
|
Buildings
in Wong Chuk Hang San Wai (AAHB-900 to 915) |
100
metres (works associated with construction of new back of house facilities
and entry plaza) |
None, as
the works will be carried out at a sufficient distance from the village such
that standard vibration level limits will be acceptable for the historical
structures in the village. |
|
Buddhist
Blessing Stone near Wong Chuk Hang San Wai
(AAHB-916) |
60
metres (works associated with construction of new back of house facilities
and entry plaza) |
None, as
the resource contains no fragile structural elements
and works are located at a sufficient distance to prevent any vibration
impacts. |
|
Old
Military Buildings on (AAHB-917
to 920) |
There
are no major works planned in the vicinity of the structures. Ongoing slope
improvement works may be required in the vicinity of the buildings. Blasting
for summit site formation and tunnel portal are located at approximately 12 metres from the
buildings. |
There
will be no direct impacts to the structures. The buildings were constructed
directly into the hillside and contain no delicate structural features, the
windows and doors are modern. The structures will not be impacted by ongoing
slope works in their vicinity. |
|
As the four buildings have been
undergoing regular maintenance and contain no fragile architectural elements,
the blasting programme will
not cause any adverse impacts to the buildings. |
