The sewage treatment plant situates at Lin Chuk Path, Heung Yuen Wai, N.T., which is a part of the new Liantang/ Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point linking the New Territories in Hong Kong and Shenzhen East. It is a single storey building designed to treat the incoming sewage from the Boundary Control Point and the re-sited Chuk Yuen Village. The sewage treatment plant is designed to be unmanned, so that the end user (i.e. Drainage Services Department) can remotely control at Shek Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Works in Sheung Shui using the SCADA remote monitoring workstation system and monitor the sewage treatment plant operation.
This project demonstrates the indispensable concept of sustainability design through the “Think Sustainability from the Project Commencement” approach for the reduction of energy use, carbon footprint and environmental impacts, along with achievement of the first STP achieving Final Platinum rating under BEAM Plus New Buildings V1.2 through a balanced approach recognizing sustainable design and sewage treatment plant best practices, but without compromising any areas of its operation or reliability. The sustainable operation of this green STP will continue its pioneered, innovative and excellent environmental performance to contribute to the betterment of the environment and play as a role model of sustainable development for future STP projects.
