CBI member Balfour Beatty recently announced that Gammon Construction, a leading Hong Kong construction company that is 50% owned by Balfour Beatty, won a HK$3.4 billion (£270 million) contract to work on a major section of the new Shatin to Central Link in a joint venture with Kaden Construction.
Awarded by the MTR Corporation Ltd., the contract includes the construction of two running tunnels covering one kilometre of track connecting the existing East Rail Line to the Hung Hom Station and the Hung Hom Station to the future Ho Man Tin Station.
