The Government proposes to construct seawater outfalls for an additional District Cooling System (DCS) at the southern part of the former Kai Tak Airport runway for heat rejection by the centralised chiller plant of the DCS. The extent of the area of foreshore and seabed affected is described in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (January 4).
To support the additional DCS at the Kai Tak Development, the Government intends to construct permanent seawater outfalls along a section of an existing seawall, and reconstruct the above section of the existing seawall (about 80 metres long) within an area of approximately 3 200 square metres of foreshore and seabed at the southern part of the former Kai Tak Airport runway.
The proposed works are tentatively scheduled for commencement in late 2019 and completion in 2022.
The notice and its related plan are posted near the site. The plan is also available for inspection at:
