In order to meet the growing air traffic demand and so maintain Hong Kong’s competitiveness as an international aviation hub (with half of the world’s population reportedly within 5 hours’ flying time) , work is continuing on the construction of a third runway at Hong Kong International Airport. Hong Kong remains the world’s busiest airport for cargo, as well as one of the world’s busiest airports for passenger traffic.
The significant expansion project commenced in 2016, and has involved the reclamation of around 650 hectares of land from the sea. The project has been compared in scale to almost building a new airport next to the existing one. It is an ambitious project: besides the new 3.8 kilometre runway and more than 15 kilometres of associated taxiways, it will also involve construction of a new air traffic control tower and a new passenger terminal with 57 aircraft parking positions, and will be connected to the existing terminals by an automated people mover system and a new baggage handling system. The project also involves expanding the existing Terminal 2, work on which has already commenced.
Through Metlam Australia Hong Kong Distributor, E Materials Asia, we were pleased to have our Toilet Partition Hardware included in the innovative commercial washroom design. Key feautures of the commercial washroom include a fully digitised cubicle vacanacy system as shown in the images below. This informs passengers of the number of vacant cubicles in a particular washroom.
