Technical Visit to Shanghai and Tianjin

Technical Visit to Shanghai and Tianjin

CEE and the HKIE Geotechnical Division co-organised a three-day technical visit to Shanghai and Tianjin, focusing on the topic of reclamation using dredging materials. The technical visit was hosted by National Engineering Research Centre of Dredging (NERCD) and CCCC marine construction and development Co., Ltd. Delegates from CEDD as well as PolyU, together with leading consultants and contractors from Hong Kong, participated in this trip.

The delegation visited Yangshan Deepwater Port and Test Base of NERCD on 11 May 2024. Yangshan Deepwater Port was mainly constructed through land reclamation and currently operates as the world's busiest container port, while NERCD is the world's largest testing laboratory and simulation test platform for dredging and marine works. Visits to reclamation sites in Binhai New Area, Tianjin, were also arranged for the delegation on 12 and 13 May.

This visit has offered a valuable platform for experts from both Hong Kong and Mainland China to share and exchange their knowledge and experience in the fields of land reclamation and sustainable marine development.
