Currently In Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong – there’s numerous major infrastructure projects going on currently in future proofing Hong Kong, one is the continuous public transportation world leader MTR Hong Kong Corporation- construction… that construction is the Shatin to Central Link Project is the cross Harbour tunnel of Victoria harbour in which will be operational ready by year 2021 least..

As part of the construction process is the immersed tube technique that’s developed for the Cross Victoria the fourth in which the first three is in between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island  in which between the Central to Tusen Wan also from Hong Kong –Central to Tung Chung Line.. The Third is in between the north Point to Yau Tong connection… In which the fourth is Hung Hum towards the Admiralty in which connects to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition center… in which journey time is least than five minutes.. in which currently the line is eighty percent complete with phase one..

In construction of the Victoria Harbour Tunnel that runs inbetween Hung Hum also Admiralty is five steps in in the immersed Tube Tunnel Construction, in which starts out in fabrication yards in former Shek O Quarry in which has been transformed into the Tunnel  construction yard of pre-cut Tunnels units are prefabricated in Shek O….. Each of the eleven unit’s pre cased measuring in 160 meters with each of twenty three thousand tonnes…  Once final constructed the Dam in which they are constructed in is floated in making its way towards the Victoria Harbour dredging site… As the fabrication site is flood to allow the transportation of the eleven units with fleet of tug boats towards its destination construction site in which the Victoria Harbour’s seabed is previously prepared as the tunnels make way around the Hong Kong Island towards temporary mooring site in which is located in Tseung Kwan O making it’s Temporary seven point five Nautical Miles.. In which each unit have Surveying towers with integrated floating Platoons in which the eleven units are connected together with the reinforced structural protection to securing the tunnel in which they placed with at least than five centimeters deviation with precision ….

The Shatin to Central linkage to Hong Kong..  Does comes with environmental Geographical constraints, as it transported through typhoon shelters in Causeway bay with careful planning and execution is required it is carefully constructed..

In Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong – there’s numerous major infrastructure projects going on currently in future proofing Hong Kong, one is the continuous public transportation world leader MTR Hong Kong construction…. In which one MTR Lines is in between Shatin to Central linkage project in linking the upper Eastern parts of New Territories- Hong Kong in which currently sits at eighty percent complete in expected to be running by mid-2019 …. Even though Hong Kong is known for its iconic megatroplis towering skyline towers landscape also Hong Kong below is massive network of underground tunneling of connecting integrated labyrinth mazes in which connects the city region to transport millions of commuters around dense city skyscrapers, while under the that skyscraper city is there are many people working hard to make the city greater..

Under those skylines of skyscrapers is a massive Shatin to Central linkage in progress to near completion is an underground maze in which is undergoing a round the clock construction…  in which the Shatin to Central link is consisting in two parts… In which part one runs between Tai Wan and Hung Hom…  Part two runs in between Hung Hom to Admiralty in which links to the Hong Kong  Convention and Exhibition center’s substation in Wan Chai then onwards to Admiralty,,,,

Some of the linkage section components tunneling construction is utilizing the Tunneling Boring Method in which MTR Hong Kong has been world leaders in innovating new technologies in engineering transport transportation to commercial also residential designs , construction, management  in which the innovative Boring tunneling works gives it innovative advantages, with an intensive massive  vertical shaft   is constructed excavation of launching shaft and retrieval shaft with carefully crafted with military grade like GPS precision facilities with way points to connect to it targeting site in which the boring tunneling journey starts at Fenwick Pier Street ……once the excavation/ retrieval site is constructed with Boring tunneling machine in together like assembly of a massive unit  in which measuring at one hundred meters in lengthy with weight of six hundred tonnes with tunneling diameter of seven point for meters it begins to boring into its target path  excavating and assembly it tunneling walls at the same time instantly fabricating the tunnel lining helps to reinforce the tunnel structure also minimizing impacts of surround buildings..

During the boring process it removes the debris through a sealed conduit in which it boring tunnels through many highly dense neighbourhoods   from To Kwa Wan Station negotiating around also facing and overcoming oncoming complications as construction process begins on main roads also public facilities also overcoming a ever complex geological structure of Hong Kong in which with constant monitoring of soil conditions. …. During the process it helps to minimizing the impact of the communities through the control lessening of sound pollution, also dust…  during the construction there will be five more stations along the Shatin to central in which from Hin Keng, Kai Tak, Sung Wong, To Kwa Wan towards the Hong Kong Exhibition Center .. In which connecting west to east Hong Kong New Territories which passengers can travel more conveniently from Shatin towards western rail line finally connecting at Tuen Mun ….

Soon it’ll take only four minutes from Admiralty to Ocean Park Station…. Cool.. !

On a Late 23rd September 2016, as I was walking up from taking the Double Decker buses from Central towards Ocean Park in which the journey depending of the traffic taken was least thirty to forty minutes.. Going back to Ocean Park is like a past time, a reconnected Past time where some years back before Disneyland Hong Kong was constructed, As I was walking up the elevators, awaiting for the gates towards Ocean Park entrances,  I notice there’s security for baggage security checks…. As I look left wise I notice  new MTR terminal way that’ve heard about the night before on TVB News at six, on awaited opening on 28th December 2016 in which instead of taking a double Decker bus in which takes thirty to forty minutes from Admiralty the journey time takes least than four minutes to Ocean Park.. As I walked up those elevators awaiting what would that ride be like as I departed from a Double Decker bus way in which is parked opposite across the road is the was the Royal, now Hong Kong Police Academy……..

The MTR New Southern line  is a run by a three carriage system, in which this is a very light network, instead of the traditional seven or more tram cars… in which is used intense urban locations around Hong Kong Island, around in New Territories area… as in the recent promotions of Hong Kong Actresses Jacqueline Wong, Kaki Leung, also Maryanne Mak introduces each stage of the various features…

As first the South Line runs from Admiralty to South Horizons, Ocean Park to Wong Chuk Hang, then onwards to Lei Tung at South Horizons… As from Admiralty Station there are four level stations, the Island Line/ Tsuen Wan Line, Tsuen Wan Line/ Island Line, Future Shatin to Central link, then South Island line platform..  With that level of complexity of finding the right train route several sign markers, in colours, show you the direction of travel also the train that you’ve meant to be on… as you journey towards the view is pretty awesome with the scenery , in which the terminals are also decorative with art form the local communities in portraying local life of the community.. as to this Art is very promenade came from local art workshops in co-operation with the MTR partnership   and Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation in which gather local secondary schools in creating the local feel of the neighborhood.. ..
