NEC has been adopted for constructing a major four-span footbridge system in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The project comprised constructing bored pile foundations, four 4 m wide steel-framed footbridge spans ranging from 45 m to 58 m long (222 m in total), seven passenger lifts, four covered escalators and two covered staircases. The project team fostered a collaborative approach helping them achieve their common goal. This NEC-driven teamwork led to alternative pile designs that reduced depth by 33%, ensuring the timely completion of foundation works. Additionally, the team introduced innovative solutions such as a novel wing wall design and a shallow shear-key system, which reduced the pile cap depth by 25%, resulting in a significant reduction in excavation waste.
