About the Project

The Government launched the Pier Improvement Programme (PIP) in 2017, aiming to improve a number of remote public piers in the New Territories and the outlying islands, to facilitate public access to outing destinations and natural heritage. It also responded to the local requests to meet the basic needs of remote villagers relying on marine transport or fishermen’s operation.

The Civil Engineering and Development Department commenced a consultancy agreement “Improvement Works at Tap Mun Pier - Feasibility Study, Investigation, Design & Construction” (the Project) on 2 August 2023, to carry out tasks such as technical studies, site investigation, preliminary design, consultation with relevant stakeholders, detailed design and construction supervision for the improvement works of Tap Mun Pier. The aim of the Project is to formulate appropriate improvement plans to enhance structural safety and the facilities of Tap Mun Pier, while taking a balance between local needs and potential environmental impacts.

The Study covers Tap Mun Pier in Tai Po District. Scope of works includes:

• Carry out ground investigation, preliminary ecological surveys, and assessment of potential environmental impacts
• Carry out preliminary engineering and environmental studies and investigate its feasibility to formulate a preliminary design
• Investigate the feasibility of adopting innovative design elements
• Consult relevant stakeholders
• Carry out detailed design and construction supervision
