The Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is expanding from its original two-runway system (2RS) into a three-runway system (3RS). AtkinsRéalis has been providing the scheme design, detailed design and construction support services for parts of the project, including reclamation and airfield facilities covering ancillary buildings, systems and site wide utilities.
The Airport Authority Hong Kong develops the three-runway system, which when completed, will provide an additional capacity of 30 million passengers, to meet the anticipated growth of air traffic demand at HKIA.
The construction works of 3RS started in 2016 with the formation of 650 hectares of land (equivalent to about 980 standard football pitches) through reclamation which was completed in around four years. About 40% of the reclaimed land sits on top of contaminated mud pits. To avoid disturbance to the contaminated mud deposits so as not to create adverse environmental impact to the marine life in the vicinity including the Hong Kong unique Chinese White Dolphin, Deep Cement Mixing (DCM) technical was deployed to treat the contaminated mud deposits. DCM and other conventional methods strengthen the mud layers and control the overall settlement of the reclaimed platform to acceptable limits.
Prior to the reclamation, the two original aviation fuel pipelines that laid on the seabed crossing part of the to-be reclaimed land were diverted by installing two new pipelines within the deep rock stratum via the Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) method to avoiding environmental impact to marine lives. The drilling distance of 5.1Km achieved at this project was a world record for the HDD method.
To achieve this ultimate 3RS, another key milestone is to reconfigure the Centre Runway (originally named North Runway) and its associated taxiway system for its commissioning in 2024.
On November 25 2022, The Third Runway at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) was officially commissioned marking a key achievement of the airport’s expansion into a Three-runway System (3RS).
AtkinsRéalis will continue to support Airport Authority Hong Kong for the 3 Runway System expansion project, including the Centre Runway reconfiguration and Terminal 2 Concourse Apron works for completion on time and within the budget target.
