The Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal is a major air cargo facility at Hong Kong International Airport, designed to significantly expand the airport’s cargo handling capacity.
Designed by Aedes, the terminal is planned for an annual throughput of 2.6 million tonnes, increasing HKIA’s total air cargo capacity by around 50% to 7.4 million tonnes per year. At the core of the facility is a HK$1.4 billion mechanical handling system, intended to be one of the most advanced of its kind globally. The development has a total gross floor area exceeding 250,000 m². The project experienced an 18‑month suspension following the global financial crisis in 2008, during which the design was finalised and tender documentation for key contracts was prepared before works recommenced in November 2009.
WT was engaged from mid‑2006 to provide comprehensive pre‑ and post‑contract quantity surveying and cost management services. During the suspension period, we supported the project team through design finalisation and preparation of tender documentation. Following the award of the main contract in March 2010, WT continued to deliver post‑contract quantity surveying services for the project.
