The Hong Kong MTR (Shatin to Central Line) subsea tunnel construction project has complex working conditions and high requirements for project planning, organization and execution. The main construction site of the project is at sea with a relatively large depth, and the crane is erected on a seaside pier.

【Case background】

The Hong Kong MTR (Shatin to Central Line) Undersea Tunnel, with a total length of 1,663.4 meters, is a large-scale expansion project that spans multiple districts in Hong Kong and connects multiple existing railway lines. It is of great significance for expanding the coverage of Hong Kong MTR services and strengthening the connection between the New Territories and Hong Kong Island.

Cranes are essential construction machinery for undersea tunnel projects. The heavy-duty hooks (with a lifting capacity of 20,000 tons) we design and manufacture are used in cranes. When participating in the Hong Kong MTR (Shatin to Central Link) undersea tunnel project, the overall design scheme of the heavy-duty hooks we provided was highly recognized by the project chief engineer and the customer satisfaction was high. After this case, the Shanghai Salvage Bureau and the Guangzhou Salvage Bureau expressed their intention to cooperate with us.


[Project requirements]

The Hong Kong MTR (Shatin to Central Line) subsea tunnel construction project has complex working conditions and high requirements for project planning, organization and execution. The main construction site of the project is at sea with a relatively large depth, and the crane is erected on a seaside pier. The long distance from the pier to the seabed results in longer lifting and lowering times for the hook. Coupled with the strong resistance encountered during the working process of the hook, this requires the hook to have excellent product quality: the lifting capacity is large enough, and the ability to prevent cracks and rust is strong enough.
