Time:
9:00am – 12:00 noon

KCR Fotan Station Northern Concourse (at Lok King Street level)
Program Highlight:
The Ho Tung Lau ( Site A ) Development is a residential development consists of ten 40 to 46
storey residential tower blocks. The whole development will be built on top of the existing KCR Ho
Tung Lau Maintenance Centre, Workshop and Depot where portion of the existing live tracks and
railway operations will have to maintain during development constructions. Construction difficulties
such as foundation construction adjacent to railway tracks and podium deck construction over
existing high voltage overheadline require extreme care on construction method planning prior to
execution of works. Careful safety procedures, needed to be endorsed by KCRC, are the major
key issue to complete this development project. Present site activities include : construction of high
strength minipile foundation; erection of refinforced concrete columns and composite columns from
railway level; launching of precast U-shells above existing live tracks and high voltage
overheadlines. The whole development will anticipate to complete in 2008.
