type of vulnerability is buoyancy of container. When the storm tide reaches the waterline of the ground floor of the container stacks, it could cause a collapse of the entire container stacks and environmental damage. The third type of vulnerability is concerned with oil spill that could lead to water pollution.


DESIGN RESPONSE_4 PHASINGS TOWARDS RESILIENT WATERFRONT


In response to the economic and climate change, four milestones are set to gradually create a resilient waterfront.


Phasing 1: Upgrading Industrial Area (2019-2022) The first milestone is to increase the resilience of container port because the failure of protection to them will cause significant environmental problems. “Wet-proof container” is a fast and easy method to implement. The first floor of container stack becomes wet-proofing by removing the wall planes. It only keeps the frame of the container to support those upper containers. As

the projected level of storm tide is far from the waterline of the second floor of container stacks, only the first floor of the stack is required to be transformed to be wet-proofing.


Phasing 2: Reinforcement (2030s) In 2030, the second milestone would be to reinforce the existing waterfront area in Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi.


In order to


protect the area from the rising tide, filling of Rambler Channel is highly restricted by Victoria Harbour Ordinance. Therefore, the only feasible method being available is to raise the elevation of the reclaimed area. This kind of project is recommended to apply a multi-purpose levee. It is concerned with a raised levee that connects to an adjacent pedestrian bridge system and transportation road. The highest point of the levee should be above 7m mPD, which needs a 2m tall structure.


Phasing 3: Extension (2050s) In 2050, Tsing Yi industrial estate and a cargo working area is expected to move out. The dike system could then be extended
