Land reclamation

Soil can be improved through our innovative drainage and compacting techniques. Having literally laid the foundation for your development project, we can go on to realize the construction of (rail)roads, tunnels and bridges as well as recreation areas.

This New Port project is planned at the Hidd side and via the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway direct connected with the existing Mina Sulman port and Saudi Arabia.

Land reclamation Check Lap Kok airport Hong Kong

In 1996 Hong Kong was a modern city-state with almost 6 million inhabitants where air traffic was a very important component for economic activity. The old airport Kai Tak, with a single runway, was no longer able to cope with the growing number of passengers and amount of freight.  The authorities decided to build a new, bigger airport at a new location in Hong Kong, a 350 hectares hilly island off the coast about 28 km west of the city center.
