Project Details
The Avenue of Stars – styled upon the Hollywood Walk of Fame – is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic tourist destinations. The promenade wraps around Tsim Sha Sui’s southern border and provides stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline across Victoria Harbour.
During a period of redevelopment, the SeaShield 100™ System was applied to 93 jetty piles that were each 1150mm in diameter. In addition to this, the SeaShield 2000FD™ System was applied to protect a further 16 piles of 2000mm diameter each. Both systems can be applied above and below water and offer robust protection to jetty piles that are exposed to the corrosive conditions found in splash zone, inter-tidal and subsea environments.
Work to protect the existing jetty piles was completed in 2018. The avenue reopened to the public in 2019.
