Statement of Airport Authority on contract “T2 Foundation and Substructure Works” under Three-runway System Project

(HONG KONG, 16 November 2021, 1730hrs)  –  Airport Authority (AA) is arranging an orderly handover of works in relation to “T2 Foundation and Substructure Works” (the “Works”) to follow-on contracts as the main contract for the Works comes to an end. AA has been paying the main contractor according to contractual terms and established procedures, while reminding the main contractor to handle all subcontracts properly and to ensure that all workers are duly paid.

All works under the Three-runway System (3RS) project are progressing, with AA continuing to target commissioning the Third Runway in 2022 and completing the 3RS project in 2024 as planned. AA has been continuously implementing various effective measures to ensure that the 3RS construction works will complete according to the planned schedule and within budget. These include, for example, phased handover of early access to works areas among different contracts, and re-sequencing of works to prioritise the completion of all critical works.
