ZHEC has at its disposal the human resources, machinery and equipment for land and marine construction works, which give it tremendous potential for the development of site formation projects.

The scale of the new airport platform project was immense, requiring the excavation of 70 million cubic metres of soil and the reclamation of more than 1,500 hectares. The successful completion of the project with its joint venture partners demonstrated ZHEC's capability and competence in large-scale site formation works.

The new airport platform consists of a 13km sea wall enclosure, three-quarters of which was built primarily by ZHEC. Moreover, single-handedly it has excavated approximately 5 million cubic metres of materials on the Two Brother Islands for the airport platform over a period of 18 months.

The project of the Eastern Harbour Crossing/ Lam Tin Tunnels Site Formation of the MTR Tseung Kwan O Extension required the excavation of some 1.5 million cubic metres of soil and rock. The rock excavation was subject to tight blasting restrictions owing to the proximity of the Eastern Harbour Tunnel Approach Road and of nearby residential buildings. Thanks to its controlled blasting techniques, good management and close coordination, ZHEC completed the project on schedule with minimum disruption to the public .

ZHEC won the KCRC West Rail Contract 302 Tsuen Wan Reclamation with a very complex content of work scope. The company's top management had put together a strong project team with integration of Hong Kong management expertise and CHEC's traditional technological strength, and employed outstanding management methods and expert techniques to ensure completion of the project within the budget and on an extemely tight schedule. In the process the company earned widespread praise.

Other major site formation projects completed by ZHEC in recent years have been the Tung Chung Development Phase I and Phase II Infrastructure Projects and the Tuen Mun Zone 16 Reclamation Project.
