Other reclamation techniques require two years of pre-loading work to harden the ground \u2013 adopting DCM can cut down this period to just three months. Another benefit is to the land itself, as DCM produces less deformation of the ground and a high degree of construction and quality assurance. Moreover, it is relatively quiet, which is a plus for projects taking place next to existing residential zones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cc5a9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7cc5a9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Efforts to handle risk factors in advance<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6b9a10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6b9a10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The importance of dealing with potential site problems before they occur is underscored by Project Manager Park Hong-shin. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely essential that all risk factors at the site be identified and eliminated in the first year of the project,\u201d Park insists.<\/p><p>For example, there had been the issue of applying to carry out the DCM work. The company was able to swiftly negotiate this from an in-land application to offshore for greater efficiency. A further issue that came up was DCM work that needed to take place underneath a bridge. Due to the low height of the bridge and other obstacles, it would have been difficult to use conventional DCM equipment. Instead, Samsung C&amp;T cooperated with its project partners to develop new types of equipment a full year before the start of construction and resolved all technical issues well in advance.<\/p><p>So, Samsung C&amp;T is building Hong Kong\u2019s new land with great attention to detail and prudence. For the sake of future residents, the years of hard work will no doubt have been worth it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84e3c9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"84e3c9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Members-of-Samsung-CTs-Engineering-Construction-team-relish-their-ongoing-land-reclamation-mission-in-Hong-Kong..jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzgwMDUsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTlcLzEwXC9NZW1iZXJzLW9mLVNhbXN1bmctQ1RzLUVuZ2luZWVyaW5nLUNvbnN0cnVjdGlvbi10ZWFtLXJlbGlzaC10aGVpci1vbmdvaW5nLWxhbmQtcmVjbGFtYXRpb24tbWlzc2lvbi1pbi1Ib25nLUtvbmcuLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Members-of-Samsung-CTs-Engineering-Construction-team-relish-their-ongoing-land-reclamation-mission-in-Hong-Kong..jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-38005\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Members-of-Samsung-CTs-Engineering-Construction-team-relish-their-ongoing-land-reclamation-mission-in-Hong-Kong..jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/Members-of-Samsung-CTs-Engineering-Construction-team-relish-their-ongoing-land-reclamation-mission-in-Hong-Kong.-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Members of Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Engineering &amp; Construction team relish their ongoing land reclamation mission in Hong Kong.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world, with around\u00a06,655 people per square kilometer.
