Description:

The project is a multi-purpose complex, which comprise a library, a sports centre, recreational facilities and a district open space located at Area 74 Tseung Kwan O. Part of the site also lies within the MTR Tseung Kwan O reserve zone. Driven H-pile has been adopted to achieve the most cost effective foundation system. Extra precaution and consideration have been given to control piles vibration immediate adjacent to the MTR protective zone and operation noise to nearby noise sensitive receivers (school and residential estate).

The sport complex requires large span roof structure spanning 41m across the short span of the open hall. Steel truss with an inverted triangular box formed by three circular hollow sections with structural depth of 2.6m is used for the roof system.
