The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) of the Drainage Services Department (DSD) has been awarded today (October 8) the 2018 Edmund Hambly Medal of Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), U.K. for the outstanding achievements of the HATS in the area of sustainable development.
At the prize presentation ceremony in London today, the Assistant Director/Sewage Services of DSD, Mr. Anthony TSANG Kwok-leung, said that through conveying sewage generated from both sides of Victoria Harbour to the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works for further treatment and discharge, HATS has improved the water quality of the harbour. The project also covers various innovative design and sustainability features such as diesel-electric marine vessels for sludge transportation, environmental friendly construction and renewable energy. The project was implemented in two stages and spanned over two decades. It is by far the largest sewerage infrastructure project in Hong Kong.
