黃竹坑６月展開爆破工程 Explosion Work at ex-WCH Estate

這幾個月落區，越來越多居民問我港鐵地鐵何時正式動工，因為興建南區地鐵的樓梯聲已聽了兩三年，但卻水靜河飛，並未見任何港鐵工程。港鐵做了這麼長的前期工作，現在終於要動工了，上周五的社區聯絡小組指，港鐵6月將在黃竹坑採用爆破工程平整地基，以備將來興建車廠。工程簡介詳見單張。

下兩圖可更清楚見到前黃竹坑邨地皮土地水平的高低不平的情形，近明渠的一片土地（即以前的黃竹坑邨第十座）遠低於近黃竹坑巴士總站那邊的土地。

我不擔心港鐵爆破的安全程度，但認為因爆破地點與社區非常接近，故應採取更高更嚴謹的標準，將爆破時產生的震動、噪音、灰塵及交通影響減到最低。

The MTR SIL project is going to proceed in July and the explosive way of construction will be used at ex-WCH Estate, in order to level the land to build the depot. I'm confident that the safety measurement could be taken properly, but because the distance between the explosion site and the community is so close, the standard of the measurement of noise, dust and shock and traffic should be stricter, in order to prevent nuisance to the community around the ex-WCH Estate. 

Here's the info of the explosion work:

Number of explosion each day: once per day, will last a few seconds; 

Period of explosion: one year; 

Time of explosion: afternoon, probably before 4pm, the notice will be released to the public 2 or 3 weeks before the explosion; 

Traffic control: Nam Long Shan Road and the Police School Road will be closed for about 10 minutes before the explosion, but the emergency vehicles have priority.
