Gammon Construction to start work on the two wins early this year
Balfour Beatty鈥檚 joint venture in the Far East has won two contracts worth a combined 拢705m.
Gammon Construction has been awarded a 拢568m deal to build the Kai Tak West Section of the Central Kowloon route.
The section forms a part of the 4.7-km long dual three-lane Central Kowloon route. Works will involve building a 370m-long underwater tunnel and the associated temporary reclamation in Kowloon Bay of about three hectares.
It will also build a tunnel in Ma Tau, as well as a 125m long road and 170m long underpass in the Kai Tak Development.
Work is due to start early this year with completion scheduled for 2025. A workforce of 400 will be employed at construction peak.
The second contract is a 拢137m deal for the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority for works on the Lyric Theatre Complex (pictured).
This involves excavation followed by the construction of a two-level reinforced concrete structure, public infrastructure works including drainage and a traffic lay-by. Gammon is currently delivering the foundation works for the project.
Work is due to begin early this year and is expected to be 鈥渟ubstantially complete鈥� by mid-2020. A workforce of 450 will be employed at construction peak.
Gammon Construction is headquartered in Hong Kong and is a 50:50 joint venture between Balfour Beatty and Asian-based conglomerate Jardine Matheson, running since 2004.
Its current portfolio of work includes the 拢90m contract to build The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel in Hong Kong and the 拢272m development of eight medium rise residential blocks and four houses with a two-level basement overlooking Tai Po鈥檚 Tolo Harbour.
