Sustainability Report 2011
Project Management
In line with Hong Kong’s Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIA Ordinance),
we carry out EIA studies before the development of any major gas infrastructure
project. These studies look into the project’s impact on air quality, noise, construction
waste, water quality, any hazards to life as well as potential effects on our cultural
heritage. Together with the input of consultants and specialists, significant effort and
time are invested in these studies, which not only explore the potential impact on the
environment, but also recommend appropriate mitigation measures. The resulting EIA
report is then submitted to the Environmental Protection Department for approval.
A project application to relocate a pair of submarine gas pipelines from To Kwa Wan
to North Point to cope with the South East Kowloon Development was submitted
under this scheme, receiving its Environmental Permit in 2010. Having obtained further
statutory approvals and its licence, the project is now under construction.
