Project Background

Contract No. EP/SP/40/02

A joint venture between ATAL Engineering Limited and Belgoprocess N.V. had been awarded a Design-Build-Operate contract by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) for the design, construction and operation of a Low Level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility.

It was the first and only facility in Hong Kong for storage of low level radioactive waste and it was also the first direct contract awarded by the EPD to ATAL, which achieved a remarkable milestone for the environmental engineering business of ATAL.

The Contract included the design and construction of the new facility, the transfer of existing radioactive wastes into the new facility, and the operation and maintenance of the facility for ten years.

The project allowed 15 months for the design, construction and commissioning of the new facility at Siu A Chau, located off the south side of Lantau Island. The project involved site formation works, construction of a jetty for marine access, building works, provision of storage, handling, operation and laboratory equipment, building services and utilities. The project was commenced in end of August 2003 and the construction was completed by November 2004.

Contract No. EP/SP/75/14

Contract No. EP/SP/75/14 is a Follow-on Contract (FOC) to a previous Design-Build-Operate (DBO) Contract No. EP/SP/40/02 that has been ongoing for 10 years and expired on 19th January 2016. This FOC provides for the expansion of an existing Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility that entails Design and Build, and then the subsequent 10 years Operation. This Facility is located on Siu A Chau, which is an uninhabited island that forms parts of the Soko Islands group south of Lantau Island.

Environmental Permit

The Facility is a Designated Project under Category G.4(b) of Part I of Schedule 2 of the “Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap. 499)”.

A “Low-level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility - Environmental Impact and Safety Assessment (Register No. EIA-064/BC)” (referred to as the Facility EIA) was carried out for the Facility, and an Environmental Permit (EP) was issued on 11 April 2002 (No. EP-131/2002).

Further Environmental Permit

A Further Environmental Permit (FEP) was also issued on 26 August 2003 (No. FEP-01/131/2003) to the preceding Contractor – ATAL Belgoprocess Joint Venture Limited for the Design Build and Operate (DBO) contract (Contract No. EP/SP/40/02 – Low-level Radioactive Waste Storage Facility at Siu A Chau), which had been ended on 18 Jan 2016.

Another FEP was obtained on 11 December 2015 (No. FEP-02/131/2002) to ATAL Engineering Limited, the current Contractor, for the FOC which is started on 19 Jan 2016.
