The
project involved a major slope stabilization works at Lai Ping Road, Kau
To, Shatin.
Environmental
Concern
Muddy
wastewater generated from the construction activities was of major concern.
Substandard wastewater if discharged would lead to the Tolo Harbour via
the Kau To Hang and adversely affected the water quality of both the river
& the harbour.
Extensive
site coverage of the slope stabilization project at Kau To
Measures
Adopted
Treatment
- Wastewater generated from the construction works would be pumped to
a sophisticated wastewater treatment system for removal of the suspended
solids, before discharging to the nearby streams and the harbour.
Installation
of WepSep Wastewater Filtration System at about $200,000 for effluent quality
control
