Complicated Surrounding Environment As Seen in The TST East Station - Underpinning To A Section of Pedestrian Subway

1) Construction of deep basements is very expensive, time-consuming, hazardous, and presents many managerial challenges. 2) Traditional cut and fill or bottom up methods are more economical for simpler jobs, while top-down or combined methods are better for deeper, more complex environments. 3) The construction of the Hang Hau Station for the MTR Tseung Kwan O Line is given as an example of a very large and complicated basement project.

Common managerial problems identified in the
construction of deep basement:
1. -Very expensive and time consuming in nature, often
involved huge amount of work resources.
2. -Inconsistent and sensitive to the quality of planning and
management of individual projects.
3. -Works are highly hazardous, both to human operatives
working within and the life and properties of third parties that
within the vicinity.
4. -Works involved a lot of managerial challenges. Such as, in
the preparation of a highly efficient working programme,
monitoring and rectifying the progress of works in case
problems arising, or in resources planning where materials,
labours & plant equipment are involved.
There are many methods to construct large-scaled
and deep basement
1. -Deep basement can be constructed using some
traditional ways such as cut & fill or bottom up
methods. These methods are relatively economical and
effective when dealing with certain jobs which are
simpler in nature.
2. -On the other hand where basement is going deeper and
the surrounding environment getting more complex and
sensitive, top-down or combined method may be a
more appropriate option to construct.
