Hong Kong – Stanley Sewage Treatment Works with the surrounding community and environment

The nearest distances between the ventilation shaft and St. Stephen's College Preparatory School, staff quarters of Correctional Services Department and the residential area are about 200m, 300m and 400m respectively

Examples of cavern sewage treatment works in Hong Kong and the Nordic countries can successfully integrate with the surrounding community and environment. We will not only learn from the successful experience of these examples, but also introduce other enhanced and innovative elements in response to the project situation and residents’ concerns, in order to further improve the overall planning of the relocation proposal.
