Mainland East Division is
responsible for geotechnical
control of all building
developments and civil engineering
works in Kowloon and the eastern
parts of the New Territories.
The Division is currently
undertaking geotechnical control
on the following major projects:
Development at Anderson
Road
Tseung
Kwan O to Lam Tin Tunnel
Central
Kowloon Route
Widening
of Tolo Highway / Fanling Highway between
Island House Interchange and Fanling
The Division exercises special geotechnical control over foundation design
and construction for developments
in Ma On Shan, an area which
is underlain by marble.
Large cavities are present
within the marble in some
locations.
We also manage the GEO's landslide emergency service. As part of this service, GEO
provides 24-hour, year-round emergency advice to Government
departments, on action to be taken to safeguard the
public following landslide or rockfall incidents. When
a Landslip Warning or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal
No.8 or higher is issued by the Hong Kong Observatory,
the GEO Emergency Control Centre will be mobilised.
If you wish to obtain more information about the work of Mainland East Division or have comments relating to our services, please contact Dr Richard P L Pang, Chief Geotechnical Engineer/Mainland East.
