Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns was awarded the ICE Annual Awards 2021 Edmund Hambly Medal Winner

The DSD's project 'Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns' had received Edmund Hambly Medal in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Annual Awards 2021. This award, recognised by international professionals, demonstrated DSD's efforts in combating climate change and DSD's achievements in enabling sustainable development over the years.

The award recognises outstanding performance on innovative design to sustainable development. With the construction of one of the biggest man-made caverns sewage treatment works in Asia, the 'Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works to Caverns' project will free up valuable land resources for other beneficial uses for the public as well as improve the surrounding environment for a better community and enhance our quality service in sewage treatment. This project also adopts Building Information Modelling (BIM) together with Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) for off-site fabrication to minimize material wastage and increase the quality of works aiming to reducing the associated carbon footprint.
