Hong Kong boundary crossing facility

A new Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) project has been built that will reduce travel times for drivers. The HKBCF is intended as a clearance facility for vehicles that either leave or enter Hong Kong across the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB). In addition, the HKBCF is intended to operate as a strategic multi-modal transportation hub located on the west of Hong Kong. Construction of the HKBCF has involved reclaiming some 130ha of land from the water to the North East of Hong Kong

The HKBCF is intended as a clearance facility for vehicles that either leave or enter Hong Kong across the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB).

In addition, the HKBCF is intended to operate as a strategic multi-modal transportation hub located on the west of Hong Kong. Construction of the HKBCF has involved reclaiming some 130ha of land from the water to the North East of Hong Kong International Airport. The project has also included erecting buildings and various transport facilities.

Costing some USxx billion (HK$35.9 billion) the work has required the use of an extensive range of machines. Road construction equipment has been provided by equipment supplier Realtech, which delivered a number of 206 Dynapac units for the job. The construction work has used Dynapac SD2500CS and SD2500WS asphalt pavers as well as

Dynapac compactors such as the CA2500 and CC4200VI. In all Realtech has being providing support for the 15 Dynapac units employed on the project.
