MTIA Support to the Hong Kong- Zhuhai- Macau Bridge

BMT is involved in the development of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, addressing a number of marine traffic issues during the construction of the bridge and leveraging our expertise in MTIA and other maritime-related engineering services.

The Requirement

BMT is involved in the development of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, an important and large-scale project which will connect three major cities on the Pearl River Delta and further improve cross-border connections. Proposed to be 50km in length, the bridge will become one the area’s defining landmarks.

The Hong Kong section comprises 120 hectares of artificial island and 9km of land and marine viaduct. The scope of work under BMT addresses a number of marine traffic issues during the construction of the bridge, leveraging our expertise in:

  • Maritime-related engineering,
  • Ship navigation
  • Marine traffic impact assessment (MTIA)
  • Risk management
  • BMT’s environment experts are also providing counsel on the bridge development’s environmental implications

Our Approach

BMT is working very closely with our clients to provide dedicated marine safety and regulatory expertise to the construction of the Hong Kong Boundary Facilities and the Hong Kong Link Road, which encompasses part of the bridge structure and the associated reclamation area.

Providing ongoing support to the Contractor throughout the construction phase, BMT’s role is to assist clients in developing specific and well-planned marine schedules and recommend optimal marine works solutions with the preparation of Marine Traffic Arrangement Plans.

Outcome and Benefits

BMT’s involvement in the construction of the Hong Kong- Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is facilitating the smooth proceedings of associated marine works.

Thanks in part to BMT’s involvement in every major civil engineering project in Hong Kong in the past 15 years, our established marine experience and deep knowledge of the local regulatory landscape, we have been and continue to derive valuable insight and offer cost effective solutions to the contractor at every phase of the construction. Our clients have thus far been successful in achieving buy-in from all stakeholders and satisfying government requirements.
