As a result of the worldwide financial crisis in 2008, the HKSAR Government has responded strongly and quickly by pushing ahead and increasing their investment in key civil and building infrastructure projects to help stimulate the economy and control unemployment. A large number of technically complex tunneling and civil engineering projects are already moving towards the construction stage with a further hectic schedule of prequalification and tendering activity already underway. Nishimatsu is well placed to make the most of the forthcoming opportunities in these sectors by utilizing its worldwide resources to best effect.
The excavation works for our existing Middle Road Subway cut and cover Project for MTRC were completed in the first quarter of 2009. Concreting works are now in progress along with the commencement of E&M Works and Fit Out works.
Our Hong Kong West Drainage Services Tunnel project is progressing on schedule with both large diameter hard rock double shield TBMs delivered in the first quarter of 2009. The construction of the 32 intake structures has commenced with a phased roll-out over the coming twelve months. In the fourth quarter of this year, the drill and blast activities for the adits will commence. The project comprises 10km of large diameter hard rock TBM tunneling, a further 7km of drill and blast adits and 32 drop shafts with intake structures make up the rest of the project.
For building works, our project for the construction of two public housing blocks at Ex-Chai Wan Estate for Hong Kong Housing Authority is achieving good progress and is due for completion in March 2010.
We continue to enjoy an excellent safety, environmental and quality track record, and have implemented an accredited integrated company management system across the three disciplines to help us achieve continuous improvements in these core areas. During the past year, we have received a letter of commendation from MTRC for a zero accident record over a 21-month period for our Middle Road Subway project. We have also received a Merit Award in the Construction Industry Safety Award Scheme and the Best Housekeeping Award from our client Drainage Services Department for our Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel contract. For environmental issues, we have an excellent track record with zero infringements over the last three-year period.
