Main Haul Road of West Rail Project, Mei Foo Sun Chuen

The project was part of the West Rail construction at Mei Foo Sun Chuen.

Environmental Concern

The construction sites were situated near Mei Foo Sun Chuen and there was a common main haul road of about 400 m long leading from the Container Port Road. Although the road was paved with concrete, dust arising from mud dropped off from the trucks when they drove passing this road was the main environment concern effecting the staff accommodated at the adjacent depot.

Measures Adopted

Water Spraying - To minimise the dust emission, a fixed water spraying system was installed along the main haul road (about 400 m long).

Observations & Achievements

The main haul road was a long road with high volume of traffic flow and it was very close to the depot of Tsing Ma Management Ltd. Any dust emission arising from the passing vehicles would easily affect the staff of the depot. After installing the water spraying system, the dust at the main haul road was effectively suppressed.
