Abstract
Marine construction is an important element in many of the region's construction contracts. Whether there is a reclamation requirement, a sea wall to be built, a pier, a coastal road, an undersea pipeline, etc., the contractor and designer has many criteria to consider, in addition to those associated with the 'normal' project.
On the following pages we give a more detailed consideration to various aspects of marine construction. We start with a technical paper dealing with the problem of corrosion affecting steel in port structures and other developments under water. Following this we look at two methods of coping with difficult sub-surface conditions in reclamation works. Lastly we look at a number of companies involved in marine works in Hong Kong, along with their projects.
