Abstract
When completed in 1992, the Times Square development will consist of 35-storey and 20-storey towers above a ten-floor podium and six-level basement. With the foundation being built by Bachy Soletanche Group (BSG) on the former Hong Kong Tramways depot site, which is bounded by Russell, Matheson and Sharp streets and Canal Road East, the project will cost in excess of $2 billion and provide 186,000 sq m of commercial floor area. Construction of Times Square involves a somewhat, but not entirely, typical Hong Kong soil profile, with fill underlain by sea sand, alluvium, CDG/HDG materials and a granite bedrock. Two new-to-Hong Kong civil construction techniques — Hydrofraise and CWS Joint — were used respectively in connection with the excavation and foundation works.
由隆豐發展興建的時代廣場，在九二年落成時，將擁有六層地庫，十層平台和兩幢分別高三十五層和二十層的商業大廈，樓面總面積達十八萬六千平方米，而發展費共達二十億元。
時代廣場的地基工程，由法國地基建築公司承建，目前已近竣工。時代廣場地盤的土質，在本港頗常見，最上層為堆填物，之下為海沙，沖積土、風化岩和花崗岩層。在工程中，法國地基採用了兩種嶄新技術——利用液壓切削機挖土及CWS地下連續牆接縫截斷地下水，令工程可如期在短短十二個月內完成。
