ISG Hong Kong awarded Ocean Park redevelopment project

Hong Kong, 24 December 2009

ISG Asia Hong Kong has been awarded the Construction Management scope for a project which is part of the redevelopment of Ocean Park. Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited are the main contractor. The project, which includes Entry Plaza, Aqua City and the Grand Aquarium - will last four months and will complete in April 2010.

Ocean Park, situated on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, is Hong Kong's premier educational theme park. The current park covers more than 870,000 square metres of land and features a diverse selection of world-class marine attractions, thrill rides and shows divided between three areas: Lowland, Headland and Tai Shue Wan. Operated by the Ocean Park Corporation, a statutory board, it is a not-for-profit organization that aims to provide elements of entertainment, education and conservation at an affordable price.

A new Master Redevelopment Plan (MRP) for Ocean Park was unveiled in 2005, which will see significant upgrades to the quality and availability of features at the Park. Groundbreaking for the MRP took place in November 2006, signalling the start of this HK$5.5 billion project, which will be completed in six years over eight phases while the Park remains open throughout. The number of animal attractions and rides will be doubled from 35 to 70 when the redevelopment project is completed in 2012.
